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.)

Best place to stay!

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.

It was very helpful that hot and cold water were provided on each floor so that anyone could drink There were also free-to-use washing machines and dryers, and bath towels and hand towels were kept on display in the hallway as well—I thought it was truly wonderful The location was excellent, with the subway station and limousine bus stop nearby, and a convenience store and currency exchange right in front of us, except that it was a little hard to find

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.

Ottima esperienza. Parliamo di un ostello e, come tale, va naturalmente valutato all'interno di questa categoria: sotto questo punto di vista, la struttura è assolutamente all'altezza. L'ostello occupa alcuni piani di un palazzo ed è organizzato in modo funzionale. Noi avevamo una camera privata con bagno in camera, una soluzione che abbiamo trovato particolarmente comoda. Siamo stati accolti in reception da una ragazza davvero bravissima, simpatica e disponibile, che ci ha spiegato con grande chiarezza il funzionamento e gli spazi della struttura. La posizione è uno dei punti di forza: si trova perfettamente nel cuore della città, a pochi passi dalla metropolitana e in una zona molto ben collegata anche con l'aeroporto. Nel complesso, un'ottima soluzione per chi cerca un ostello centrale, comodo e ben organizzato. Lo sceglierei sicuramente di nuovo.

ひとり渡韓で利用しました。 立地がとても良くて明洞で買い物してもすぐ荷物置きに行けて最高です！ 部屋の設備は少しもの足りなく感じたけど共有キッチンがあり、ウォーターサーバー、冷蔵庫、食器、ドラム式洗濯機などがありました。どれも無料で使用できます。 夜間は無人ですが、レイトチェックインにも対応しておりとてもありがたかったです。明洞エリアに泊まる時はまた利用したいと思いました。

３日以上滞在しました。 スタップの対応は良いです。 人によって、英語のみできたり、韓国語のみできたりしますが、 基本的にスタップ皆、笑顔で対応もとても良いです。 朝食は、正直期待外れ。 特に牛乳が長期保存できる物？のイメージがあって、日本・韓国では飲んだことない味でした。 私の口には合わず、飲めなかった。 客室はキレイとは言えないです。 ３日以上の滞在で１回掃除してくださるとのことですが、 内容的には掃除とは言えない/お片付け程度です。 部屋に変な臭いがしたので、慣れるまで時間はかかりました。 「コップ含め食器は各自で洗わってください」の案内があっちこっち貼っていますが、当たり前に客質によっては守られていないです。 また、西東の皿洗いの習慣は違うので、そこは覚悟してください。 滞在２日目に西洋の方の皿洗い見てから、食器は極力使わないようにしました。 (ただ水で流すだけ、汚れは手で落とすのみ) スポンジも汚かったし。せめてスポンジ交換は頻繁にしてほしかったです。 ロケーションは最高！ 明洞のど真ん中なので、ショッピングの荷物の心配はゼロ。 但し、繁華街なので、夜中まで店の音楽は覚悟。(部屋によるかも) 23時半までホテル目の前で路上音楽された方いました。
