Mama Guesthouse Myeongdong

Good location but that’s it.

I’ve traveled a lot and stayed in many hostels around the world, so I know what to expect — but this place was so filthy and poorly maintained that I couldn’t stay even one night. I ended up leaving and booking another hotel, even though it cost me extra and I lost money. That’s how bad it was. There were no bed sheets, a strong moldy smell in both the room and bathroom, and visible stains everywhere. The bathroom was clearly not cleaned — absolutely disgusting. The towel had someone else’s hair on it, and we even found empty water bottles under the bed, proving the room hadn’t been cleaned at all. It felt like a place that could easily have bed bugs. The walls are extremely thin — we could hear a woman talking loudly until 1:00 AM, and starting at 7:00 AM there were loud banging noises, like construction or repairs, that didn’t stop. Breakfast was laughable: a few pieces of toast, some cereal, and instant coffee. The staff was mostly absent and spoke very limited English. Good location, but that’s about it. Absolutely not worth the price. Avoid this place at all costs — I’ve never experienced anything this bad.

I had an amazing experience staying at Mama Guesthouse in Myeongdong with Amm, Yabam n Sirih. The location is absolutely perfect—just a few minutes' walk from the Myeongdong shopping district and close to the subway, making it easy to explore all the major attractions in Seoul. The guesthouse itself is charming and cozy. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The beds were soft, and the amenities provided were more than adequate. The common areas are also a nice touch, offering a great place to relax and socialize with fellow travelers. The free breakfast was a nice bonus and a perfect start to the day. I highly recommend Mama Guesthouse Myeongdong to solo travelers or couples. Not recommended for those who travel with elderly and childrens

we have to walk a little bit, but that's South Korea mostly people walk

breakfast was too good, but plce very small and full of people stay outside.

No aircond inside my room, and its very hot. I know outside very cool, but inside the room very hot.

Location Value for money

Cleanliness
