I was a little bit late to check in, delay by long Que in foreigner passport at airport. Luckily they wait for me. Thanks to that otherwise i will not know where to stay. Very strategic location, close to all the major tourist attractions. I plan to extend my stay but is fully booked.

Pros:
ใปThe staff were very kind and helpful.โบ๏ธ
ใปInformation about how to use the hotel was available in multiple languages.
ใปDespite the small room size, a large suitcase (around 20kg) can be opened on the floor.๐งณ
ใปThe location is excellent. The hotel is just steps away from the main street in Myeongdong, and within a 5-minute walk, youโll find two large malls.
ใปThe hotel is also within walking distance of Myeongdong Station.๐
ใปThe lobby offers a free water dispenser and dishes that guests can use (youโll need to wash them yourself afterward).
ใปHousekeeping staff come daily to exchange towels.
Cons:
ใปThe room was very small, and the upper bunk bed was only suitable for sitting upright for someone of elementary school age.
ใปThe bedding had some dust, and there were hairs visible on the bed even before I used it.๐จ
ใปThe bathroom sink had leftover soap residue from the previous guest.๐๏ธ
ใปThe shelves werenโt entirely clean either.
ใปThe bathroom features frosted glass, but parts of it are fully transparent at the top, which might be uncomfortable for some.
ใปEating and drinking in the room are prohibited.

Note:
In South Korea, hotels generally do not provide toothbrushes or razors, so plan accordingly.
Overall, this hotel is in a fantastic location and has helpful staff, but cleanliness could be improved. Itโs a good choice if convenience is your top priority, but be aware of its limitations.

This hotel is very accessible to everything-restaurants, subway, shopping centers, convenience stores and right in the center of Myeongdong. Just a few steps away from the famous street foods of Myeongdong! The hotel is great and comfortable to stay. There's also a kitchen where you can heat your food. Also, big plus for the free hot and cold water! The hotel staffs can speak a bit fluently in english that's why its easy to communicate. Also, there's an elevator that can fit many people. Also, the wifi is fast and reliable. The bed is also big and comfy. They also replace the towels everyday.
One thing I dont like is the smell in the cr but overall it was a very comfortable stay with Calistar.

Some stains on sheets, no other complaint. Value for the money, 1 subway change (airport bus is a lot more costly and actual stops didnโt seem to be in line with the schedule), however long walk and wait to and from the airport so spare enough time (the airport gates in particular were really busy like an hour long wait). Convenient to the Myeongdong streets shops. Underground walks to various places like malls and markets, which not shown on google.

Booked 2 rooms for our group. Great location but the rooms were poorly kept up and the sheets and towels had horrible stains. Except for a few hours per day, staff was locked up behind closed doors to avoid helping guests. But it was a wonderful location.

The location and security was nice. Each corridor is locked with a pin key, and individual rooms also require pins which are nice.
The shower situation was a little dirty with very little hot water (like a trickle) coming out.
The kitchen has a microwave and counter where you can charge your electronic devices from.
All in all, security and access is what you pay for and I think it is a good choice as a place to stay especially since itโs like just one street away from Myeong-dong

This was my 2nd time patronizing the hotel mainly because of its location. The location is good for enjoying various Korean cuisine, street food, night life etc. however the receptionist was quite rude when we asked him to increase the temperature of the room heater because it was cold, also the hotel doesnโt have daily clean up services :which is quite weird from what we experience in Europe and China.

The location is great. Just that when I wanted to check out there was no service at concierge so I had to put my luggage outside the lobby. There were many luggages outside. Mine luckily was not stolen. Not sure about everyone elseโs tho.
