Great place to stay!

I love the location, the cleanliness, the food available for us as much as the profesional staff always doing everything to help us out and to answer our multiples questions, even the cleaning lady help and told us what to look for on our excursion. The staff makes a great atmosphere where everyone feels welcome! I’ll certainly go back!

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 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.

The room was private and great for a week in the area. I little cramped - I wish there was more room at the full length mirror, but really well priced and safe in a busy area.

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.

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.

4/10 Fair

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。

Chambre propre, matelas très ferme (un peu inconfortable pour moi), personnel sympathique et accueillant. Très bien situé et facile d’accès (proche métro et bus). Beaucoup de restaurants à proximité. Quartier très animé, on est tout de suite dans l’ambiance touristique de Séoul. Un très bon choix pour un premier séjour.

シャワーの水圧が備え付けのウォシュレットの水圧より低いというお茶目な一面を持つホテルです。 素泊まりには清潔なので安くて良いと思います。 トイレがシャワールームという、韓国あるあるのお部屋でした。
