This was great value for the money! It’s situated north of the crazy touristy part of Myeong-dong and only a 4 min walk to the subway. It was very quiet and convenient. The staff were delightful. David is so great and I very much enjoyed our nightly chats whenever I came back to the hostel. I’d stay here again!

The staff were very friendly and all spoke very good english. There were family rooms with a private bathroom. There is a bit of a hike to get to the hotel and to bring the luggage to the hostel but they make up for it woth excellent pricing and good information such as guides and transportation aids. Overall it was excellent and would stay with them again.

Property is very convenient & near to popular Myeong-dong shopping street. Given the price that we paid & in fact it's a hostel, it is consider a good accommodation option. The hostel staffs are friendly & the simple breakfast provided is much appreciated. Love the outdoor terrace & rooftop space. The street does get noisy & a tiny annoying as tourists especially youngsters cramming the streets with photos taking (for all their social medias). Perhaps because we were given a room facing the main street on 2nd floor.

Good Value Hotel in Myeongdong

Good value hotel that is centrally located. The rooftop is a nice extra and has lots of shops and restaurants nearby if you don't want to eat out. Staff were kind and spoke good English, breakfast was basic but was enough to keep us full for the day. Would happily stay here again.

second time staying at OYO Rooftop and we always enjoy our experience. It is very close to the metro, Myeongdong, bus stops, Seoul Tower, restaurants, and many more.

We loved staying here! It was close to everything, so easy to walk everywhere or catch the train/bus. The best part of a hostel is meeting other lovely travellers. We had lots of great chats with other guests during the free breakfast. David behind the desk was the best, we miss him already! Great place to stay, very comfy and everything you need at a great price.
