The location was perfect, right near two major subway lines and surrounded by great shopping. It’s ideal for anyone wanting to stay central on a budget. My room faced a busy street, so there was some noise, but it didn’t bother me much. The staff were very kind and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, a pleasant experience!

We Stayed for 3 nights but only slept 1 night. The Walls are simply paper thin, so we could literally hear neighbors talking, laughing or watching TV till 2-3 am. Only knocking on the walls would help. Please pay extra and stay somewhere else, the location is not worth it. Staff was super Nice though.

convenience location but need more improves

Generally speaking, this is a nice hostel. good location, 5 mins walk to Namdaemum, and 1 min walk to Myeongdong. Room size a little bit tight but this is in Myeongdong so acceptable. Staff good help and generally good english. but a very important remedy should be improved ~ the small slope just next to reception/concierge in 13th floor. My friends and I miss the slope several times and easy to fall over and get hurt. Suggestion ~ 1. to add very highlighted color such yellow, red tape or change colorful mat on the scope. 2. to have some electric kittle, iron etc small appliances for customers to borrow (of course hold more deposits. )

スタッフの方も感じがよく柔軟な対応をしてくれて大変満足、古さは感じるものの部屋の掃除はよかった。 お風呂とトイレの狭さとトイレットペーパーが流せなかったことが総合評価を普通にした。 ただこれも寝るだけと思えばいいのかな、、、 実質滞在時間は７時間ほどだったので。

急な延泊になってしまい、急遽ホテルを探しました。明洞駅からすぐの立地で迷わずに行けました。 古い建物ですが、下にコンビニがあり、明洞の繁華街中心地からすぐにホテルに戻れるので立地は最高でした。 スタッフも日本語で説明してくれたり、朝食バイキングが付いていたり、セキュリティも安心でした。ただ、バストイレが一緒なので慣れていないとお風呂が大変でした。

Its a small space but that was expected. Its exactly as described. Typical all in one combined shower toilet. Very limited space for opening luggage. I had 2 twin beds but placed one luggage on one bed to be able to function and pack. Location is the best part. Ideally in Myeongdong and right near the station and bus stops. Shopping was easier when I could easily drop off bags then go back to shopping. I booked this place as my departure hotel when I did my shopping haul and it worked out well. Except for the maneuvering luggage to pack in the small room. I cant imagine sharing the space with anyone. It was just me and I barely fit comfortably with two check-in bags and a carry-on. Provided breakfast was decent, especially its free. Best seaweed soup I've ever had, I went back for seconds!

友人と宿泊しました。トイレのプライバシーがなさすぎるので家族とならまた利用したいです。全面スキガラスで鍵がありません。トイレシャワールーム洗面が百貨店のトイレ一室分に収まっているのでシャワーは濡れてはいけないものは全部出す必要があります。ビルの門限があり暗証番号で入るのですが私も含め何組か入れず外でできる人が来るまで待機していました。しっかり聞いておく必要があります。 朝食がついています。美味しいワカメスープ、ご飯シリアルサラダなど充実したものです。使った食器は自分で洗うシステムです。コーヒーも豆からいっぱいずつ挽く本格的なもので美味しかったです。歯ブラシは希望すればもらえます。お水はサーバーで提供しています。パジャマはありません。シャンプーコンディショナーボディーソープはあります。1人か家族とならリピします。
