Good, clean and rather large rooms in the center of Seoul close to the metro. There was even a washing machine in our room.

A small 5-storey hostel in the very center of Seoul on Myeongdong Street. On the 0th floor there is a relaxation area where you can have a simple meal, brew coffee or tea and eat your food or drink drinks there. On the top floor there is a small observation deck with chairs and tables. You can take clean towels and return them dirty. You can take disposable toothbrushes, shower gels, shampoos and soaps. Comfortable rooms with heated floors and bunk or double beds and a small kitchen.

Ideal value for money, super well located in Myeong Dong but also central for visiting Seoul. 2 stations from Seoul Station for trips to Korea. Finally, Min the owner takes great care to make life easier for residents. I would go back without hesitation.

The location is great, in Myeongdong, with the subway, cafes, bars, shops etc all within walking distance, including Myeongdong market. |The rooms are clean, and facilities are basic. The beds are fine. …

Very well located, very lively and central area! The welcome is very good and the owner is available for any requests. There is a common room with kitchen, sofas... comfortable and useful for those who want to eat in peace and not in a restaurant.Regarding the rooms, a little small, but the air conditioning works well, comfortable bedding and a very practical washing machine for those who stay more than a few days with laundry available. The downside is the bathroom... not comfortable! For people with reduced mobility and strollers, please note, no access to the hotel and no elevator either!!

Absolutely fantastic location: in a cartoonishly cute neighborhood, off one of Myeong-dong's main axes at the foot of Namsan. Lots of appetizing places to eat (even vegan!) …

Not the first time I'm staying here and definitely not my last. Convenient location with good amenities in the room. Comes with its own fridge, microwave, shower and TV in the room itself. And they have a lounge in the basement which you can have your meals and make coffee or tea.
