Female-Only Guesthouse Serving Daily Home-Cooked Korean Meals in Gangnam

Amenities & Common Spaces

The guesthouse offers a shared kitchen, a lounge with TV, and a terrace for guest use. A washing machine and dryer are available free of charge during designated hours. Security includes CCTV in common areas, key card access, and lockers in each dorm room, plus a 60cm x 2m floor-to-ceiling storage closet per guest.

Room Types & Bed Comfort

Rooms are female-only dorms with 4, 6, or bunk-bed configurations, each bed designed as a private pod with a curtain, nightlight, shelf, and power outlet. Beds come with an electric blanket in winter and are described as spacious and non-squeaky. The rooftop room includes its own small shower, toilet, and kitchenette.

Dining & Food Availability

The host, Sue, and her mother prepare fresh Korean soup and rice daily, often adding dishes like dumpling soup, japchae, or kimchi stew. A 24-hour continental breakfast is available with bread, jam, butter, eggs, and instant ramen. Guests can also help themselves to homemade kimchi from the refrigerator at any time.

Location & Transportation

Gangnamstay is a 10-15 minute walk from Gangnam Station (Line 2) and a 7-minute walk from a local bus stop serving multiple lines. The airport bus 6009 stops within 10 minutes of the guesthouse, providing direct access to Gimpo International Airport. Nearby attractions include COEX Convention Centre (3.5 km) and Bongeunsa Temple (4.3 km).

Safety & Guest Profile

The guesthouse is restricted to female guests only, with key card access and CCTV at the entrance and common areas. Many guests stay while recovering from plastic surgery procedures, and the environment is described as quiet and supportive. The host maintains a KakaoTalk group chat where she shares daily updates, tips, and food announcements.
