The room was clean but very small. The staff were good and very helpful.
The property is located right in the hub of myeongdong shopping street. And if I understand correctly it's one of the closest accommodation myeongdong subway station and bus stand.
The rooms are decent with mentioned amenities. The staff at the reception are also really nice. Basically it's everything they have mentioned in best available value.
Location was fabulous - couldn't get better! The staff was so helpful and even helped find a clinic open on a holiday for my sick child. The room was a bit small but all we did was sleep there (so much to do in Seoul! ) so it was sufficient.
The staffs are so friendly and helpful. They will go out of their way to help you feel comfortable. The room is spacious for the price. The area is convenient after a long day of shopping. I would book this hostel again.
I stayed in a single room. Cleanliness was great. The space is tight but just the right size for a solo traveler who plans to be out and about for the most part of the day. I really appreciate how responsive they are and also appreciate that you can do laundry during your stay for a fee. Also, I appreciate the airport shuttles service they help coordinate. It certainly was helpful getting me to and from Incheon Airport with a tight schedule.
This hotel was perfect. The location is ideal if you would like to enjoy the night market or do some shopping. The location has so much within walking distance. We knew the rooms would be small, but it worked well for our family of four and our kids loved their spaces. The staff was really the best part. Both at check in and check out. The staff was phenomenal. They spoke wonderful english and were incredibly helpful. Our flight came in late, and they texted to make sure we knew how to check in if arriving late. They were great about letting us store our luggage as well the next day for our late flight home.
It was my second stay at this hostel and I purposely came back as I enjoyed my first stay. The location of the hostel is just great to discover Seoul. The rooms are quite modern though nothing has changed since I have been here 4 years ago. Rooms are though tiny and have no windows. The staff is kind. It doesnt really feel like a hostel though as you hardly see any other guests. So if you ate up for meeting new people this is not for you.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy and smooth check in. Was kindly shown where everything in the room was or how ithings worked eg. Under floor heating. Simple breakfast of toast and cereal which was enough for me. The double room was very big, clean and well kept. Would recommend and stay here again.
Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. One of the best locations in Seoul. Walking out the door into the heart of downtown. We never needed to take a cab. Enjoyable breakfast nook and easy access to wifi. Small and cozy rooms. Beds were a little hard. We would gladly book again.
