Hongdae Pencil Guesthouse & Hostel is a quiet hostel that’s close to the metro which is loved for its homey and friendly atmosphere perfect for guests traveling with their families or partners. Its rooms look like they came straight out of a magazine clipping, with the main theme of pristine white and light brown wood.

When you want to just hang around the hostel after tiring days of exploring Seoul, you can rest easy at the cozy, Instagram-worthy common room which features wooden furniture, indoor plants, and a huge floor-to-ceiling window that will bathe you in natural light as you read your favorite book or surf the internet on the available desktop computer.

They offer bike rental as well so you can explore the city of Seoul in a breezier, more cost-efficient, and more enjoyable way. It’s also one of the few hostels that offer free breakfast with the accommodation.
