Great location for Myeongdong, handy for subway and the city. Room was clean but small for two people and suitcases. Staff were nice, toilet was fixed quickly when it broke.

10/10 Exceptional

Cave was clean, responsive, affordable, and extremely central. We had a private room with a private restroom. Check in was very easy - we didn't have wifi upon check in, and it was smooth.The location is ideal as a hub to go to different Gu's in Seoul. We had consistent hot water, a fridge in the room, and air conditioning. They even have a rooftop lounge area that allowed us to bask in the moonlight and city lights--all for an extremely affordable price. We will be checking with Cave for availability the next time we go to Seoul for sure.

Overall room was clean and quiet. Washroom is a wet bathroom so no shower stall and a bit of mold residue. Which I knew when I booked it. If you don't like that than I wouldn't stay here. Perfect place to just sleep and shoert term stay, close to myeongdong (about 5 minute walk)

To check in, you need to ask the staff at the coffee shop downstairs. You can see the Namsan Tower, but you have to climb uphill and there is no elevator in the building, but the staff will help carry your luggage.

Thin walls, you can hear the neigbouring rooms tv and conversation and the people in the hallway. Stains on the blanket. No bath towels. No elevator. No onsite staff. I would not recommend it for people who cannot walk uphill.

I stayed for about 5 days and 6 nights. I noticed that the staff were very accommodating and helpful with all the questions and concerns I had. The room was also clean and comfortable. Close to Myeongdong and a great place to stay for a solo trip.

It’s a mediocre stay at best. An impersonal reception and room are a little damp. If you like self check in and out it’s hot that.

The whole building is quite smelly. The bed is old, table is small and uncomfortable to sit, and the bathroom is stinky. This place is only for sleeping if that’s your plan.

Do not recommended. Never saw anyone at the reception, actually there is no reception, no human being. The room smell humidity the whole day, zven with the window and air conditioning on. Hotel name is cave and it does smell like a cave. First time I am writing a review, needed to do so to prevent other guest. I book that hotel for my parents who are elderly, I wish I didn’t. If I could I would've change hotel but there were all full in this season. Pass, there is much better hotel around.

Good budget central Seoul solo stopover

Reasonably-sized but quite dark room that felt a touch claustrophobic, but that’s the only negative. Bathroom is a wet room which works really well. Bed was super comfy. Location was 5 mins’ walk from Myeongdong Subway Stn on the Subway but uphill - fine for me but some folk may struggle with lots of luggage. First time in Seoul, so I wanted to stay central. This was a good choice as it was near to Myeongdong Street, but away from the crowds and quiet at night. Pleasant rooftop terrace with N Seoul Tower in view. Shared kitchen was small but had kettle and free drinking water available. Self check-in via an email and letter. I liked the fact that rooms are PIN entry so you don’t have a keycard to lose! Cave is a BUDGET accommodation and I was prepared for that and happy with it. Some people may think otherwise and expect more for their money.
