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.

Perhaps because it was self-check-in, I didn't receive the amenity bag mentioned in other reviews. Maybe you get one if you check in at the counter? Near the entrance, there's coffee and a microwave, which is a great amenity for coffee drinkers or those who get takeout. Pros: * Self-check-in is available. You can select Japanese, so it's easy to use. * Water is in the fridge, but also near the entrance, and you can grab more yourself if you run out. * Body towels are provided in the room. * Multiple charging outlets are located by the bed. * Lots of restaurants nearby. * There's a bathtub. * Instructions for using the air conditioning are posted in the elevator. Things that bothered me or were disappointing: * When I got off the elevator, the door to my room was open. Since anyone can ride the elevator (it works without a key card, meaning anyone can enter and ride it), for security reasons, I'd really like the doors to be kept closed. Just in case, I checked under the bed and behind the curtains. That's when I found a bag under the bed, possibly left by the previous guest. * I was hoping to watch Netflix, but the remote didn't respond after dozens of presses, so I gave up on Netflix and YouTube and watched on my own phone instead.

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.

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 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.

The location is the best selling point, located right in front of Seoul Station Exit 10 (there's a short flight of stairs to exit the station). Hotel is equipped with an elevator. Room size is perfect for solo travellers that will be out all day and only need a place to sleep and shower. However, room space might be an issue if you have big luggages (I only had carry on luggage with me). The walls are a bit thin so I can hear the guests from the next room talking and switching off their lights, however I can't really fault it at the price that it is. Will definitely consider rebooking if im solo travelling in Seoul again.

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.

Great location, with several good restaurants nearby. The room was good value for the price. Myeongdong isn't much cleaner, and this place was a really good deal. They even provided disposable toiletries. Overall, I think it's a good place, especially considering how cheap it was.
