Great, cheap price for the quality of the room. Location is simply ideal as it's near the train station while also being in the central hub of Myeondong. And the reception reps go above and beyond being both helpful and accommodating. They had provided me with a free umbrella for use during my stay in Seoul, and they didn't charge me anything extra for having lost it. They had also offered to pack my clothes after the dryer was done, so that I wouldn't need to watch over my laundry for hours at the hostel myself.

This accommodation's bedding is solidly firm. So this can be a huge con for anyone who doesn't like / aren't used to these type of hard mattresses.

Hotel location is right smack at the heart of Myeongdong. Moreover, Myeongdong station is literally a stone's throw away. Bus stations to all lines are also easily walkable. You can leave your luggage if you arrive before check-in. We left ours at 9am and explored Namsan Tower, which is a 15 min walk. Came back at 230pm and our room was ready. Checked out at 11am, but left our luggage at the common area since our flight was at 1am the next day. This is the most highly recommended budget hotel for first time Seoul tourists. Bonus, they have heated floors if you're visiting during the cold season.

Centrally located in Myeongdong street. Very accessible to buses, subways and shops. The room is clean and have a facilities such as kitchen. The staff were friendly and can speak English

You can hear the noise from the other room. However, you can use an earplug if you're a light sleeper. The single room with a double bed that I had is a bit tight when you open your luggage due to the post/wall in the middle of the room. But the bed is comfy to sleep in and the toilet is clean as well. The shower is a bit odd or probably the norm in Korea like the ones they use for showering their hair in the sink as seen in kdramas (I'm not 100% sure though), but I was still able to shower from head to toe.

Absolutely loved our stay! The location is so so so convenient — right in the heart of Myeongdong. Everything is literally within walking distance. We could shop, drop our bags off at the hostel, and head right back out again. It made our trip super easy and stress-free. If you’re planning to shop a lot, this place is a dream. The reception is located on the 4th floor and the staff were very accommodating throughout our stay. There’s also a Korean BBQ restaurant on the 3rd floor which was so convenient — we loved it so much. Would definitely stay here again!

The only thing I didn’t like was the size of the twin room. It felt a bit cramped for two people, especially with two large suitcases. There wasn’t much space to move around or open our luggage fully without having to constantly shift things around. It would’ve been a lot more comfortable with just a little extra space for storage and movement

Had a lovely stay here. The hostel is very conveniently located right in the heart of Myeongdong, which is a super lively and busy area pretty much alive all throughout the day but especially at night thanks to their night food market. This also means that it can be quite dirty right outside the hotel with trash piling up right at the door. Inside the staff were super friendly and the private bedroom/bathroom was proper for the price. For me the bed was a bit stiff and didn’t have the best rest after long days of walking. All in all, good value for money.

Just a short walk or two stops on Subway Line 4 from Seoul City railway station, the location is exceptional. Myeongdong station is 2 minutes walk; the airport bus is 2 minutes walk. The night market is even closer with amazing views of N Tower illuminated at night. The staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and well appointed with air conditioning, bathroom facilities, TV., and under-bed storage. Hanging space is limited, but this isn't supposed to be the Ritz. It's the perfect base to rest your head after a long day in Seoul. Stay here for high-end to everyday shopping, Myeongdong night market with delicious street food, Namdaemun market, the sights of old Seoul, access to N Tower, and easy transportation to the rest of the city.

This is my second time staying here, and the accommodation is excellent as always. The location is right in the heart of all the conveniences, including easy access to public transportation. You can take Airport bus direct from the airport to Myeongdong and walk just 2 minutes to the accommodation. Alternatively, you can take the high-speed train from the airport to Seoul Station and transfer to another line for two more stops until you reach Myeongdong Station. The accommodation has an elevator, the rooms are clean, and the beds are comfortable. There is no musty smell at all. You can use the common area for dining or working, and there is an affordable laundry service where you don’t have to wait for the machine to finish, staff will take care of everything for you. In the same building, you’ll find restaurants and a hair salon. As soon as you step outside, you can easily find street food and various shops, offering endless exploration. I walked to the end of the street and visited a beautiful Myeongdong Church. Across the road, you can see Namsan Tower, which you can either walk to or take a bus up for a panoramic view of the city.

There is nothing to complain

If you intend to do a lot of sightseeing and like the convenience of having a lot of shops right around the corner then I’ll definitely recommend this place. The rooms are excellent for hostel type of accommodation and clean. One of the perks is the rooms being really quiet Staff are helpful and friendly. I traveled with my brother and we were out and about most of our time in Seoul. This was a great fit for the purpose of our trip.

The building is a little older but standard is decent for the price and in Seoul. However if you seek a full hotel experience with breakfast I’d suggest you stay elsewhere.

Staff were so lovely and even gave us a snack pack when we checked out which was such a nice touch. Room was bigger than in the pictures (not huge but it had walking room) beds were comfortable, and had storage underneath! Bathroom is more of a wet room but we had been use to this from travelling in South Wast Asia Right in the centre of Myeongdong so very easy to get around and also be picked up for tours.

As there is other businesses within the building the elevator could sometimes take a while to come and there was no stairs access for the hostel.

This is my third time back at the accomodation and we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when travelling to Myeondong. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. We have two separate stays booked here as part of our 21 days travelling in South Korea. The reception staff who met us on both checked in dates took care of us and our luggages in between our stays. The location is prime - in the mecca of the shopping and restaurants, close to the train station and airport bus limousine stop. Our last stay here was in 2018 and surprisingly the owner/manager remembered us and spoilt us with baked goods. It may not be a 5 star luxury hotel but it’s a great accommodation with lovely staff to take care of you.

Small spaced rooms with a lot of luggages but we made it work.
