We spend in total 8 days in this accommodation and it was really good. Ratio of price and service was quite realistic. Room is a bit small, we booked 2 separate beds but we were so close that it was basically one bed (which was not a big deal for us). Room had good AC, fridge, okay bathroom (with shampoo and towels). It is the complex of 2-3 buildings. In the vestibule of our building we had a small kitchen space (perfect for making instant ramen).Service wad excellent, staff was very helpful and answered all our questions. There was options to leave luggage for couple of days or to do laundry.Location was superb, everything was walkable and well connected to the metro.A house cat was welcomed addition to thw accommodation.Once I go back to Seoul, I would gladly be guest here again.

The accommodation is very convenient. It's just a moment away from Exit 3 of Myeongdong Station. There is an escalator at Exit 3. The room is small and clean. There is no smell in the room. It smells good. The pillows, quilts, towels, etc. are also clean and fragrant. The ☺️3F and rooftop are beautiful! Suitable for taking photos and checking in! The breakfast is simple but delicious. It’s really nice to be able to stay in such a convenient hotel with breakfast at this price!

Fantastic location, as it’s walking distance to the main centre for shopping and general nightlife! It’s very close to the train station too with an underground market which is a huge bonus. It’s very easy to find as they provide very detailed instructions.The downsides to staying here is:1. You can’t use the lift as there is no lift, it’s only used to bring your suitcase up to the floor you’re staying on.2. The only towels you get provided is a hand towel to use for your body and hair. If you want a body towel, you’ll need to put down a deposit of 10,000 won.3. The room we stayed in got very musty (stuffy) every time the A/C is off as you can’t open the windows to get fresh air. It would always smell whenever we come back at the end of the day.4. I believe we had bed bugs as I woke up on the last day with four bite marks around my legs close to the ankle. Don’t believe it would’ve been a mosquito as no windows were open for the duration of our stay, and my mum said she felt itchy in bed for the first two days.Would I stay here again? It’s debatable as the location is good, it’s safe, great value for money, and there’s a rooftop to enjoy the views. On the hand, stuffy rooms, small towels, and potentially bed bugs.

I have stayed in this hostel and the service from MyeongGi and HyeongGyun was excellent, they were very nice and always gave me good recommendations and answered all my questions, the guest service they have is excellent and deserves to be recognized, the rooms were Clean and the locker area was good, the kitchen was always clean as well.The only thing that could improve is the cleanliness of the bathrooms, from then on everything is fine

Small room like many places in Seoul. But above all the double bed was very small.Bathroom where there is no way not to send water everywhere since there is no separation between shower, sink and toilet, which is not very practical since there is a trash can with our toilet paper waste.Despite this, the place is charming in the heart of Seoul near one of the very lively districts.

Score 10 for the staff. They are very attentive to customer requests. In the room the cleanliness is perfect. Accommodation is not expensive. Breakfast is also included in the price. The area where you can eat breakfast is dreamy and very relaxing. I RECOMMEND FROM THE SOUL 🤗

first visitThe living environment is good. There are many tenants from different countries. It is not far from the subway station (slightly uphill). Breakfast is basic toast, coffee and juice.The interior of the room is a bit small and it is difficult to place suitcases, but it is generally acceptable.

This hostel has a great location (only a few minutes' walk from Myeongdong station exit) and the actual beds are comfortable. However, the air circulation is poor (so it was very hot in the rooms) and I was near an A/C vent, but it didn't help. The bathrooms felt unclean - trash bins were frequently overfilled and every time I showered, a gnat or two would start flying around. No conditioner provided, and the towels that are given to patrons are the size of hand towels (no full-body towels). Also, throughout my entire stay, some other tourists were awake and VERY noisy around 1-2am each night. It woke me up, and there's no way for hotel staff to enforce their "quiet hours".

we tested 3 different rooms during our stays, and the prices are not at all aligned with the quality of the rooms... friendly staff, decent breakfast

The employees were very kind and even spoke Japanese. Although it was right next to the room, there was a toilet, washroom, and shower, and although it was not a shared space, it was still inconvenient.

Excellent treatment from the staff, they speak English very well and were always attentive to answering your questions. The room is small, without a closet, but comfortable (it will also depend on how much luggage you bring). There were days when the street smelled a little bad and sometimes that smell entered the common area of the hostel, but nothing very strong
