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.

Located in the heart of Myeongdong,this hostel is the ideal place to explore Seoul . When I say that it’s central ,I mean central. You have everything on your feet. At the same building there are also restaurants. I was on the 5th floor and I had no problems with noises. Everything was really quiet. People were very nice and helpful and the room was decent and clean. There is also a common area and a kitchen you can use. It is the perfect way to explore the city. As a solo traveler I really liked it. Thank you for everything!

There was nothing negative because everything that I saw I expected it from the room details in booking. There were no surprises whatsoever. The room was small but I knew it and also there is no separate space to shower. You should clearly read the description of the rooms before booking,because it is unfair to comment negatively for something that you were warned about. From my side if I could say one negative thing is the luck of a small window that could open so it could get some fresh air.

The location was excellent and was a good value for the price. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Excellent customer service. They had a communal kitchen area with a water dispenser which was very handy.

This was great for a 1 night stay. Our room door opened to the communal kitchen area so I'm not sure I would have enjoyed staying multiple days at this location. You could hear other guests in the morning. There is a restaurant on a lower floor and the elevator was always crowded. But if you are looking for something inexpensive and you don't plan to be in your room much it is fantastic.

The staff is very kind and they speak english - which is not that common in Korea. The room is small but has everything you may need, including a really advanced AC system, heated floor, a TV and a mini fridge. The hotel is located just a few meters away from the subway station and is amazing if you want to spend your evening at the night market. Lots of shops and no noise from the street whatsoever. The hall smells amazing and you can tell they clean carefully, there's also a lounge with a microwave, a fridge, a freezer and a water dispenser that you can freely use.

The walls are very thin and I could hear the people in the room next to mine talking and doing their “business” up until 2/3 am both nights I've stayed here, i had to bang on the wall to ask them to stop, but I think that them being disrespectful shouldn't influence my opinion on this hotel. Just note that the walls are quite thin on the inside. NOT on the outside, I couldn't hear noise from the street.

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.

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.

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

The location is amazing! Right outside the hotel entrance is the shipping district of the city, full of stores and lots of food stalls in the evening. Despite being a busy area I couldn't hear a thing in the room that I stayed at. The bed was really comfortable. Despite the compact size the room had enough space. The shower water pressure was great. The staff was really kind and assistive.

The room was looking a bit rough in some parts. It might need a bit of renovation, but nothing that affected my stay in any way.

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.
