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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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?

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。

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。
