Best forsolo travelers · women travelers
A 2025-new hanok-style hostel minutes from Myeongdong's market street and Namsan Tower — Boro is clean, fresh, affordable and quiet, with gender-separated dorms that suit solo women and travelers who make friends on group hikes and bibimbap runs. The catch is literal: the hostel sits up a seven-minute slope from the station, sweaty work with a rolling suitcase.
