The room is very cozy with each bed its own curtain, small locker, power outlet and towels. You even have clothing hangers in your little cabin meaning you can make your bed your home away from home. The wifi is working well unless you want to stream movies or use facetime. The toilet is AMAZING with its multi functional system and the shower has shower gel and shampoo supplies. The water is hot, you can hang your clothes behind the curtain to not get wet or open the box in the shower to keep your belongings dry. You can use the washing machine/dryer (paid) and there is water available for free + a microwave to warm your food. Breakfast is poor but included in the rate (eggs, toast with cheese and coffee/tea/juice). Location is perfect as two metro lines are nearby and every night you have the best street food market literally downstairs. The hotel is on the 15th floor (or higher for rooms) which means you will not hear anything from outside.

Personally I don’t like it when the room does not have a window as fresh air from outside is important to me especially when the room is full.

Almost perfect honestly. I was tempted to go back on my last couple of days. Clean showers with body wash, shampoo,..... and conditioner provided!!! (No one ever provides conditioner), also hairdryers in the shower rooms. Tour guide maps for tourists available in many languages, check in allowed roughly anytime, breakfast provided of toast, ham, eggs, cheese, jam, peanut butter, cereal and coffee (sounds basic but perfect for me). The rooms felt cosy, where the hostel beds were in a room of there own, mini fridge in the room as well. The floor heating is bliss. The staff were sweet. I liked the fact there's a dinning area, so you can bring back convenience food to heat up, etc. Or make new friends! Good system of clean your own dishes! Cold and hot drinking water always available. Perfect location!

But I have to say, I wish it was warmer. It was a little annoying having to walk through the cold cold lobby area from the hit shower to get into the room. One of the toilets didn't lock properly. 😳 The washing machines are super small (but cheap), and actually not bad if only staying a few days.

Step Inn Myeongdong is a fantastic choice for anyone visiting Seoul. Its location is unbeatable – right in the heart of Myeongdong, surrounded by countless shops, restaurants, and pubs, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city on foot. The hotel offers a decent breakfast and provides coffee and tea throughout the day, which is a thoughtful touch and adds to the comfort of the stay. For the price, the quality and service you get here are hard to beat – truly one of the best value-for-money stays I’ve experienced. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and perfectly located hotel in Seoul without breaking the bank, Step Inn Myeongdong is an excellent choice.

It's right in the middle of the bustling Myeongdong chaos. Near all the food joints, pubs, shopping, convenience stores. And a short walk from the subway. So it's convenient with your backpack or even strolling luggage. The beds are wide and really comfy. Staff is helpful and cheerful and the breakfast might be simple, but does the job. (toast, boiled eggs, cereal etc). It's quite worth it

It's just the bathrooms that are a bit tiny (as is with most hostels in seoul). And the housekeeping didn't replace the toilet paper while i was there ( i didn't inform them either). Need more space or hooks for towels and clothes when you're showering.

Convenient location. Exit 5 of eulji-ro 1 is a few minutes away. The big Olive young is right next to the building. CU across the street. The room itself was fine, didn’t expect much because it is a bed and breakfast after all. Staff were extremely welcoming and helpful! Lovely people. Definitely staying here again for my next seoul trip! ps, as a solo female traveler I felt VERY safe!! Perfect location if you’re a scaredy cat like me because the streets are always bustling with people and noise! The only thing I did not like is the paper thin walls because i’m a really sensitive sleeper (very much a me problem though) but overall? Perfect.

This hotel is center of a busy street food. Excellent choice for location and near train stations. there are 3 olive young stores within 3 minutes walking and endless food options. Room was very clean. Staff were amazing at checking us in. Breakfast, love that it ends at 10 rather than typical hotels that end at 9. Food was plain western food (toast, peanut butter, spam, cereal, coffee, orange juice, milk) but you do need to wash your own dishes after you are done. The common space where you eat is very lively and many people hang out there in the afternoon, really easy to make friends.

Hotel was not so hard to find but it is mixed in a building with other business so just pay attention. The shower door did not close properly so the water kept splashing outside the bathroom. Someone was drinking coffee during breakfast hours and using his laptop in the common space and a staff told him that he cannot use it until after breakfast hours but the next day someone else was on their laptop during breakfast hours and the same staff did not say anything. The staff was not fair.

Everything is perfect for this Hostel. The location is spot on. Close to everything. The layout of the bed are not comfortable to get in and out. The shower in the room are so tiny you basically shower on top of the toilet and basin. Very small room. However for the price is ok. They give you a card to get in and out to the room. However if you loose it they charge you 10,000 Korean money. Crazy for a plastic card. Never seen anything like this before. Staff the male guy was not friendly when i asked for this extra charge. The breakfast is coffee and toast.

- Excellent location within walking distance of some sights and the metro - Friendly staff who responded quickly with helpful answers to questions - Great WiFi in each room and free water / tea available all day - Rooms were clean and there was plenty of hot water in the shower

- Bathrooms could have been cleaned more often. Bins in the bathroom were rarely emptied, so the contents spilled on to the floor. - More flexibility with breakfast would be appreciated as they don't offer take away if you leave before breakfast hours - It took me a while to find the place as it's in a large building set back from the street. There is a sign on the building, but a sign on the street itself may be helpful.

The location is very central. When you leave the hotel, you're on Myeongdong Street. The staff in the lobby are very attentive and helpful. The cleanliness is very successful. Since we stayed in a family room, we had our own bathroom. The room is a bit small but we liked it very much because of its central location and other facilities of the hotel. The kitchen facilities and breakfast in the lobby are excellent. There is a convenience store (CU) open 24/7 just opposite the hotel Laundry are very successful. I recommend using On the 16th floor(The machines big and commercial :))

There was nothing I didn't like about it. I wish the rooms were a little bigger.
