Seoul Hostels

The hotel is located right in the heart of Myeongdong, very close to Euljiro subway station. With many restaurants nearby, the location is incredibly convenient. I arrived at the hotel around 11 PM on my check-in day, so I went up to the 3rd floor via the elevator and found a card key with my name on it at the counter. I believe if I had gone to the counter the next day, they would have told me my room number, but I was short on time and just continued using the card key, which wasn't inconvenient at all. The room didn't have enough space to fully open a large suitcase without blocking the aisle, but since I was traveling alone, it wasn't a major issue. The mirror and light were very handy for doing makeup. The sink, shower, and toilet were all in one area, but it was clean and easy to use. The water pressure in the shower was also good. I could catch a glimpse of the Myeongdong cityscape from the window. There were plenty of outlets, so as long as you have a plug adapter and a voltage converter, you should be fine. Towels were provided in the room, and extra ones were available in the hallway, which I found to be a thoughtful touch. Although it was a non-smoking room, there was a smoking area very close to the hotel, which made it tolerable. I would definitely consider staying here again for a solo trip! Thank you.

The location is excellent, within walking distance to the center of Hongdae, surrounded by many shops, convenience stores, and restaurants. However, it's about a 900-meter walk to the subway station and around 400 meters to the bus stop, situated on a small hill. It's very suitable for solo travelers. The third floor is for female guests, with capsule-like beds where you can store your luggage underneath. Water, towels, slippers, and earplugs are provided, along with three power outlets. Breakfast is served on the second floor, offering boiled eggs and bread, and there's a microwave. You're not allowed to eat in the rooms; food must be taken to the common areas. There are about 7-8 showers and 4 toilets, equipped with hairdryers and toiletries. The soundproofing is quite good (even though shops downstairs are open late, the accommodation area is very quiet), and guests generally keep noise to a minimum. The only downside is that the toilets are really small, making it inconvenient to open and close the door.

Oh my goodness! I was so lucky to choose this hostel. I originally booked a room with two single beds and a private bathroom, but the front desk upgraded me directly to a triple room with one queen bed and one single bed – it was fantastic! It was also very close to the elevator, and there's a luggage scale available in the hallway. Downstairs, there's a huge Olive Young (pharmacy/beauty store), right in the heart of Myeongdong. Across the street, there's a convenience store and the delicious Sinseon Seolleongtang, so everything you need is super convenient. The hostel offers a simple breakfast; personally, I didn't find it particularly delicious, but it was acceptable. You have to wash your own dishes after eating, and the hygiene conditions are excellent. The front desk service was also very enthusiastic and spoke English. I recommend booking two months in advance for more choices and better prices.

The location is very convenient, about a 5-minute walk from the subway and bus stations. The room isn't huge but is well-laid out, clean, and the bedding is comfortable. The front desk staff were very friendly and check-in was quick. Overall, it offers great value for money, and I would consider staying here again next time I visit [city].

I have very mixed feelings about this hotel. The hotel itself is a bit run down and the room had quite a few flaws, but the wonderful staff and spacious rooms really made up for it. I can't imagine how people live in 14 square meter windowless rooms in the city center; here, at least, two people can comfortably coexist and enjoy the view from the windows! It's a leisurely 10-minute walk to the metro, and then 15-20 minutes by metro to the city center, depending on where you're going. There are plenty of places around to grab breakfast and even have a nice dinner after 10 PM. In short, if you're not overly picky and your goal isn't to stay cooped up in your room all day, then the value for money is decent! The photo shows the view from the room.

I had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the dedicated female area requires a secure code to enter, which made me feel very safe as a solo woman.However, the room comfort was quite poor. I was assigned a top bunk bed, and the room was incredibly hot because the air conditioning had been turned off.The bathroom facilities are located outside of the room and consist of a universal toilet. While the shower itself was okay, the towel provided was tiny and looked like it had already been used.While the security for women is great, the hot room and poor linen quality mean I would likely look elsewhere next time.

It was nice that they let us take one drink per person, and the room was spacious and clean, which was nice😍 The staff were all very friendly! It was such a great experience that my Japanese friend said he wanted to stay here again when he comes to Korea❤️ I'm glad you made good memories.

I stayed for the whole week at this hotel. It is a nice small hotel that just 1 station away from Gangnam. Room is cleaned well everyday in the morning, they provide extra water and amenities at the 1st floor so it is nice. Internet speed is very fast and you have smart TV inside your room.

Stayed here again. It's close to Gangnam, and this time, this place was the cheapest. **Facilities:** They provide a free water dispenser with both hot and cold water, and a kitchen where you can cook. The hot water and air conditioning both work great. However, the bed rails felt a bit flimsy and wobbly. **Cleanliness:** Clean. **Environment:** It's comfortable when there aren't many people, but it gets very crowded when full... the space is just too small. **Service:** Average.

It's only two minutes' walk from the nearest station and has excellent access. There is a convenience store right next to the hotel, and there are 24-hour restaurants nearby, so it's convenient. A refrigerator, dryer, and smartphone charger are provided in the room.(i-phone&type-c only) If there is no staff at the front desk when you check in, you will need to obtain your room number using sns. As others have written, the cleaning situation leaves room for improvement. However, you will be able to stay at a very reasonable price, so I think it would be a good idea to bring slippers and other things to make up for the parts of the floor that are not well cleaned.
