Review: At first it was a bit difficult to find the hostel, because it located among printing factories when in work hours. This hostel's has kinda tight room, my room at 4th floor but thanks the elevator works well. My concern is only the toilet at the outside of the room. It's like in the side of emergency exit stairs and kinda spooky at night because of the automatic light and there is hanging blanket on stairs handle. If you looking for affordable accomodation near the Myeongdong central area, it would be the option.
Positive points: Privacy for the bunk bed was great. Wi-Fi was good. Bathroom was clean, also provide towel and toiletries.
Negative points: The room was quite small. There’s a toilet in the room but I need to go to basement for shower. They don’t offer breakfast. Just a suggestion, I think it would be better if you have lid dustbin, so the trash wouldn’t be seen by guests.
Positive points: For the price you pay, it's was very good value. I wouldn't recommend it for people who don't like small spaces or people who like to have amenities like a fridge but, if you are just looking for a place to sleep while travelling around and not want to break your bank, this is a very good place to stay at.
Negative points: No refrigeration or a shared space to snack or eat.
Review: Super clean, easy to check in, close to metro line, overall a great experience!
Positive points: improve customer service
Negative points: Service, they have to improve customer service
Review: Definitely a budget travel option but you get what you pay for. Linens are dirty and frayed. Bathrooms were filthy and water was leaking down on me while I was using the toilet. No staff and the locking mechanism on the front door doesn't always work so anyone can enter even if they don't know the code so very unsafe. Wouldn't recommend. I left after the first night.
Positive points: the capsule itself is nice, comfortable and well equipped. elevator to the floors. self check in available. location is « ok », nothing directly around it of interest and close enough walking distance.
Negative points: the photos are just good photos. it’s very small in reality. staff is hard to find and get a hold off, so if you have questions, good luck.
Review: Totally worth it with the price.
Positive points: Value for money
Negative points: Limited space
Review: I recommend here who wants to sleep only. It was quite comfortable for 1 night. The facilities were good, but in the vicinity of building was little scared at night.
Negative points: It was dirty the elevator the sheets were stained and it was cold the heater was broken
Review: Great value for money, felt safe and slept peacefully couldn’t hear people next to me! Fantastic! The location is not the most amazing but close enough to metro stations and better places to walk around and explore
Positive points: The only redeeming quality is the location
Negative points: It was dirty, the elevator had trash, the bed sheets were stained, the heating system was not working, the toilets were dirty,
Positive points: Self check in make it easy.
Negative points: Didn't have commont area for drinking and having meal in the building. Not much facilities and the price a bit higher. Toilet is not clean.
Review: The toilet is very clean, high privacy level, the locker is big enough to store your luggage .Btw,i highly recommend the staff to wear a staff uniform.
Positive points: The capsule was comfy, a bit small but I wasn’t expecting it to be that big :) The mattress was soft, not one of those hard Korean mattresses.rnThe lockers on my floor were next to the capsule so it was convenient to store and grab your luggage!rnOverall very chill place and it is clean! There is also an elevator.rnNote that the neighborhood is not really Myeongdong but a very quiet area around Myeongdong which is well connected to the rest of Seoul. I liked that Gwangjang market was only 15 minutes away walking distance! Of course there are several convenience stores, restaurants and subway stations nearby. Just do not expect to be in the bustling streets of Myeongdong.
Negative points: It didn’t bother me anymore after one night but the door to the capsule room was very screechy and the capsule is not the most soundproof, but I personally didn’t mind it much.
Positive points: The location was great and the capsules themselves were very comfortable
Negative points: Only thing is needs some paint, and a thorough cleaning of the facilities
