Sleeping Strawberry Guesthouse - Seoul

Sleeping strawberry is the perfect place for an overnight stay! the location is wonderful (right to the corner to a vegan bakery The bread blue) and incredibly close (to the foot) to the airport line for those coming from and to Gimpo/ICN. Yu-e is a wonderful host and greeted me when I arrived to show me my bunk and the brot she baked the next day for breakfast. she also has maps and recommendations for vegan/veggie eating around the opposite not only is it a vegan guest house, there are only women (no stress over it) and it is nice to stay with other women who eat vegan/veggie is a common thing.

Sleeping strawberry is such a nice place to stay in Seoul if you are look for a nice home-y place to retreat to at the end of the day. Ue is a lovely host and provided a delicious and healthy vegan breakfast everyday. It was left out for the guests to eat when they were ready which suited me perfectly. I highly recommend for eco-conscious women who are traveling and want to be around like-minded people!

I got very lucky finding this place while looking for vegetarian restaurants on Happy Cow. This was a very good surprise to find this guesthouse. Sleeping Strawberry is a small guesthouse close to several universities so the area is very lively with many shops, bars and restaurants. It can be busy at night, yet the guesthouse itself is located in a quiet street so you will have no trouble recovering from a long day of sightseeing. Ue is helpful programming your visits and can give some good tips. She has many leaflets and maps to share, including some of vegan restaurants and cafes in the area. She also took me out of town for a nice walk with former Sleeping Strawberry guests that now live in Korea. It was something I would probably have not done by myself, and a nice opportunity to meet people. I stayed there for a few nights, including during Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving and Ue cooked for me special Chuseok rice cakes. They were so delicious and it was so kind of her! All what she cooks is vegan and delicious. Also everything in the guesthouse is environmental-friendly and most likely made by Ue. I was so impressed! It was my first time in South Korea and staying at Sleeping Strawberry definitely added a great value to my trip!

UE is such a wonderful and friendship host. She offers a variety of homemade dishes and condiments that are completely natural and organic such as vegan cream cheese and enzyme-made strawberry jam. She also introduces guests to a variety of local restaurants serving completely organic and whole foods (even organic makgeoli, or rice wine There is even a vegan bakery right about two-minutes of a walk from the guesthouse! You get a true sense of local color during your stay here.

UE Seunghee's Sleeping Strawberry Women's Guesthouse is a home away from home for vegetarian and vegan women travelling in Korea. It is in the back area of popular Hongdae which is the best of both worlds quiet with easy access to great nightlife and youth culture. You can cook and eat mostly locally-sourced veggie meals, as well as learn about women's lives and travels in Korea.
