Review: The room has basic needs and it’s in good location- not too close to the busy street of Myeongdong. There’s a steep walk from the subway station/Main Street but it’s manageable. There’s convenient stores, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes nearby. It’s also close to Namsan tower so you can easily take a hike if you like. The room is not that sound proof because you can hear the noise/toilet wash/water flow from the other room. The shower and toilet are together and we had issue on the bathroom floor because it’s not drying out. The breakfast is basic (toast, butter, jam, cereal, coffee, juice. It didn’t change within the 9 days that we stayed there. Aside from the dining area, there are common areas that you can stay on. There’s a wifi for every room but the password is the same for all but there’s no issue with the speed. There’s no elevator for guests but you can ask toe staff to use the service elevator for your luggages. The staff are accommodating and helpful.
Positive points: It’s cozy and is very well located. So close to the subway and in a calm spot but only few minutes away from the touristy streets of Myeongdong. The staff are very friendly and nice. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable.
Negative points: There is no elevator.
Review: This is my 2nd time here, first one was I am with my family and this time as a solo traveler. nnThe location is very convenient for me, near the bus station and subway, there are alot of convenient stores and near the Myeongdong Shopping District. nnThe facilities were superb, I like that it has locker rooms that is separated from the dorm itself giving us quiet space away from travelers that were fixing their luggages. nnFree breakfast and free espresso is a thumbs up for me! nnI forgot to mention the shower and toilet areas two thumbs up!!! Toilet comes with bidet!!!! nnDefinitely booking this property again for future Seoul Travels!!!
Positive points: Location is nearby the subway and bus station of myeongdong. Also it is nearby the shopping street and night market of myeongdong. There are a lot of restaurants, convenience store and marts nearby. There is also a global ATM almost beside of the hostel. The breakfast is simple but decent. If I will be going back to seoul, I might booked again here. Staffs are also accommodating.
Review: The room is a bit small for 2 people but it has basic needs. See my other review for other days/booking.
Positive points: It was close to a busy area and walking distance to interesting places to visit, close to subway and easier to get the bus to/from airport.
Negative points: There was a construction going on in the female washroom during the day. Its unserviceable. The area where the female washroom/toilet is close to the main entrance and you have to walk across the receiving area holding your stuff in order to use the service.
Review: Nice stay during holiday, big room, big toilet, just no elevator....4fl for me is a big thing
Positive points: The bed is okay, there’s a balcony which you can use
Negative points: There’s no elevator, we got stuck in the fourth floor, in the must stinky room in the world. There’s a burst of sewage small coming from the street when you open the windows. The AC didn’t work. The bathroom is separated from the room.
Review: The rooms are all right, facilities ok. However, toilet is very smelly...
Positive points: A great location, nearby all the shops and cafes. I stayed in all female dorms and it was spacious.
Negative points: I wish the dorm has a mirror inside and a shelf to put my things, though they did have foldable shelf but it was too low to be left unfold when sleeping. nOthers are correct about the smell in the property esp in bathroom but if you can bypass the smell then you’ll be okay.
Review: Friendly staff, convenient location, value for money
Positive points: Close to everything, easy access to shopping and subway station.
Negative points: I requested a lower bunk bed since I booked 2.5 months before my trip, I was told that it might be possible but depending on the availability on the day of my arrival.nOn the day of check-in, I again reminded them of my request and I was told that it would not be possible, It had already been booked for someone else a few days ago, I had to remind them that I booked for 2.5 months and was specific with my request and yet they cannot accommodate my request. The supposed booked guest did not show up until after 2 days, below bunk bed has been vacant, so disappointed for not being so accommodating. It's hard for me to be up and down due to my lower back injury and the steps were slippery as well, I almost fell down.
Review: Our priority is accessibility and cleanliness. Oyo5 was able to provide our needs. Thank you.
Positive points: love everything about The dorm and their huge locker
Negative points: the toilet. Would prefer separate toilet and shower area
Review: The location of this place is truly excellent, easy to move to famous attractions. The room is very clean, and the staff are friendly, always ready to assist. Although the amenities could improve a bit, the room size is not large, but the space is still comfortable enough to rest if you don't prioritize space too much when choosing a room. If you are looking for a convenient and clean accommodation, this is a worthy option to consider for your trip.
Positive points: the location and the breakfast. also the bed was nice.
Negative points: the toilets ARE THE WORST experience I ever had. I honestly almost cried every night to take shower there because smells like the worst and it is quite dirty bathroom. There is not enough for all of the girls and it is super super disgusting. You can smell how bad the toilet is from the lounge, imagine taking shower there. Honestly the worst toilet experience of my life
Review: If you are looking for a decent place to stay near Myeongdong, this is the best place to choose. Dont expect too much on the frew breakfast,they serve just basic one- coffee, sadwich with spread and cereals.nnBut overall, we love this hostel.
Positive points: Near in Myeondong Station just a 5-7 minutes walk and near in tourist attraction.
Negative points: It’s clean and the staff are nice
Review: Best service from the staff, cleanliness and good place to stay. Would love to be there again. Saranghaeyo
Positive points: I really recommend here, in the center!! Wake only 2 minutes from subway, but if you have so many luggage with you. You should use bus to hotel more than subway. Everything is good.
