Great hostel nearby subway line, limousine bus to airport and Myeong-Dong. Liked having a private room/bathroom, with a shared cooking/dining area. Staff were helpful and the complimentary breakfast items were a nice touch.

A perfect spot for travellers to stay in Seoul. Pretty much in the heart of Myeong-dong. The room and the common area are very cozy and clean. The staff are very nice and kind.

Great place in Myeongdong, felt very central and close to everything, including a couple of metro stops about 5-10 min walk away. Great service, very helpful staff. The room was okay, bit noisy and small but the pay off is the location. Loved having 2 washing machines to use for free and the free food in the kitchen (eggs, toast, etc.)

Quaint small hostel situated in the heart of Myeongdong. Rooms are small (to be expected) but have everything you need. Incheon airport bus stop (Ibis Hotel) and Euljiro 1-ga Station are just around the corner. Can get noisy due to the location but should quieten by 11pm once the shop’s shut. Entrance into building is a little hard to find but it’s next to a cafe called Metcha.

In the room, no even have cup but available of refil water as I need water to take pil at night as we are staying at 5th floor, all the cups are located at 6th floor. It is not good during emergency and how can the hotel provide refill water without cup?

スタッフの方が親切ですし、立地もよく一人旅の際はまた利用したいです。 トイレとシャワールームが透けてる感じなので他の部屋もそうでしたら友達とは来れないかなと思いました。

明洞の繁華街に近いので楽しいです。 バス乗り場も近く交通の便がとてもいいので効率よく楽しめます。 部屋は広くなく、シャワーをするとお手洗いは韓国あるあるのびちょびょになりますが、そこは気にならない人であれば◎ ウォーターサーバーがあるのもよかったです。 部屋には寝に帰るだけの人にオススメです。

Gem of a place! In the heart of bustling Myeongdong yet on a quiet side street. The staff were very welcoming, spoke great English and showed me and explained all the amenities clearly. My room had a double bed, a desk with a lamp and clock and two stools. There was a wide windowsill so I could easily store my necessities there behind the bed. The bathroom was big and clean and I just loved the shower! I had a very comfortable stay and could adjust the AC temp to my liking. For breakfast there was all the essentials - bread and a range of things to spread on top, cereal, eggs, tea and coffee. There was instant noodles too. Best part for me was the washer-dryer as I had already spent a week in Seoul for work staying at hotels and now I could wash all my clothes. Roaming around and returning to the hostel was so easy because of its central location and the streets are lively till past midnight. The room is great for single person although a couple could stay (might be tight for storing luggage for 2) but the other rooms like twin room could be more suitable for 2 people. I would highly recommend and will stay here again when I come.
