3/5
The location was good because it was about 15 minutes walk from Namdaemun and Myeongdong, and it was a bit calm. The room was small and the shower would come into the room if you were careless, so I got used to it on my third night. Also, I had to provide my own towels and toilet paper, and I didn't have to communicate with anyone at the hotel, so I personally felt refreshed and comfortable. I guess they tried hard to renovate it, but it's old in places and worth the price. It was convenient to have a convenience store right next to it.

great location, minutes away from 明洞. room is clean and basic, its a hostel after all, so don't expect a hotel standard service. owner is very friendly and helpful, not always there tho, so it's better to add their line or wechat account to keep communication afloat. a bit expensive for a hostel, but you are paying for the location and convenience.

The location is very convenient, just a 3-minute walk to Myeongdong Station. The room is clean and the bed is comfortable. The boss upgraded me from a twin-bed room to a one-bed and one-bed room. Thanks to the boss, I will consider this place directly next time I go to Seoul.

The boss is an Oppa who can speak Chinese😍The employees and boss are very kind.We can help you call a taxi, and most importantly, help you compare prices!This is a B&B with a very high CP value~There is also a photo spot of Seoul Tower outside the B&B. It is only a 5-minute walk from the Myeongdong shopping district and only 3 minutes from the Myeongdong Line 3 exit! The location is very convenient👍The only drawback is that the bathroom cannot be separated from dry and wet areas, but it is definitely a high-CP-value accommodation👍👍

Checked in on 1/24, the service is very friendly, they will provide video guidance in advance, and can also communicate in Chinese. The location is very close to the exit of Myeongdong Subway Station. There are Daiso flagship stores, beauty stores, famous restaurants, and convenience stores next to them. very convenient. After shopping, take your things back to the room and put them away before continuing to play. The room is not big but it is enough. If you get up early and go out, you can see the Nanshan Tower when you return to the hotel.

I used it on my second visit to Korea. The rooms are clean, and both the cafeteria and laundry facilities are neat. Because of the location, you can walk to Myeongdong, Namdaemun, and Jongno, and it was nice that there were places to eat and convenience stores nearby. I plan to use it again when I visit Korea next time.

Perfect hostel. Clean rooms, good communication with the staf.
Only walls are thin so the alarms of others you can hear in the morning.

Absolutely had the best time in Starria. The owner's so nice. The amenities were complete. Everything was so near and accessible from us. The neighborhood was nice as well.Even if we had a trouble with the booking, the owner made it possible for us to stay over. No regrets booking this place.The rooms were cozy! We're going back this winter!We used the pantry and used the laundry area. We borrowed the ironing board and the iron for our clothes.
