Guest Reviews

• TAKAE (6/5): - フロントスタッフの方
• Yoko (8/5): - とてもコンパクトですが、機能は文句無し。水圧も上等。コンセントはCタイプでした。日本語話すスタッフがいました。明洞駅からも5分ほど便利な場所です。
• HARUKI (8/5): - コスパが良かった
• Gustavo Alonso (10/5): - Located right inside the busy shopping area of Myeongdong. The staff was extremely friendly and nice.
• Ellen (6/5): - The room was clean but very small. The staff were good and very helpful.
• Haruka (8/5): - スタッフさんは皆さん日本語話してくれましたし、案内の口調やチェックアウトの際も見送ってくださりとても親切でした。感謝……！ ホテル自体は清潔でしたが、ギリギリスーツケース置けて整理ができる…ぐらいの狭さでした 洗面所とトイレ
• Verified traveler (8/5): 좋아요 - 방은 작지만, 잠만 자는 숙소로는, 좋은 위치에 깨끗하고 편안했습니다. 명동에 머물게 되면 친구에게도 추천하듯요.
• Akriti (10/5): - The property is located right in the hub of myeongdong shopping street. And if I understand correctly it's one of the closest accommodation myeongdong subway station and bus stand. The rooms are decent with mentioned amenities. The staff at the reception are also really nice. Basically it's everything they have mentioned in best available value.
• Laura (10/5): - Location was fabulous - couldn't get better! The staff was so helpful and even helped find a clinic open on a holiday for my sick child. The room was a bit small but all we did was sleep there (so much to do in Seoul! ) so it was sufficient.
• Melina (10/5): - The staffs are so friendly and helpful. They will go out of their way to help you feel comfortable. The room is spacious for the price. The area is convenient after a long day of shopping. I would book this hostel again.
• Lauriane (10/5): - I stayed in a single room. Cleanliness was great. The space is tight but just the right size for a solo traveler who plans to be out and about for the most part of the day. I really appreciate how responsive they are and also appreciate that you can do laundry during your stay for a fee. Also, I appreciate the airport shuttles service they help coordinate. It certainly was helpful getting me to and from Incheon Airport with a tight schedule.
• Dan (8/5): Nice clean hidden little gem - Excellent hidden little gem in the middle of Myeong dong shopping walking street area. Easy to access with airport bus stopping just a 5 minute walk away. Friendly staff especially the young woman in the reception. Helping us getting settled not just in the room but also taking her time to recommend good coffee and food places. We had a bunk bed room with private toilet and shower. Everything tiny but acceptable. Hot water and pressure excellent. Aircon easy to adjust. We slept very well. No view from our room but it didn’t really matter as we left early and arrived after dark anyhow. Nice and clean. No complaints. Small rooftop bar/cafe in same building and a mainstream large coffee shop with some sandwiches on the ground floor. Plenty of food and shopping in the area. Would stay again.
• Hui (10/5): - Excellent location. Friendly staff. Affordable price.
• Regina (10/5): - Very good
• seungki (10/5): - 전반적으로 청결하고 함께 이용했던 친구들도 모두 만족함을 표해줘서 너무 좋았습니다.
• KAZUKO (10/5): - 最初は狭さにビックリしたが、それを上回る快適さがあった。
• MIURA (10/5): 立地最高 - 久しぶりのゲストハウスでしたが快適に過ごせました。フロントのスタッフも皆さん優しくて良かった。明洞駅から徒歩5分位で立地最高です。部屋は狭いですがベッドの下にスーツケースを入れるスペースがあり便利でした。
• Bree (4/5): - There were mosquitoes in my room and I was bitten all over my legs.
• RIO (10/5): - All staffs are very kind!! She gave us some Korean snacks when we left the hotel, because our last night was cancelled unfortunately. We were so happy your kindness :) We will be back sometime! Thank you!!
• HARUKA (10/5): - 日本語の対応もしてくれて、とても親切だった。立地もよく、ホテルも綺麗し、水圧も強いくらいだった
• Verified traveler (10/5): お一人様におすすめします - リムジンバスのバス停、明洞駅も徒歩1分以内、明洞のど真ん中のため日付変わる頃まで遊び続けられます。 お隣の壁が薄く声が聞こえてきた部分だけ残念ですが立地を考慮したらコスパが抜群に優れています。
• julia (10/5): - This hotel was perfect. The location is ideal if you would like to enjoy the night market or do some shopping. The location has so much within walking distance. We knew the rooms would be small, but it worked well for our family of four and our kids loved their spaces. The staff was really the best part. Both at check in and check out. The staff was phenomenal. They spoke wonderful english and were incredibly helpful. Our flight came in late, and they texted to make sure we knew how to check in if arriving late. They were great about letting us store our luggage as well the next day for our late flight home.
• Norihiko (10/5): 駅バリ近 - 過去に明洞界隈で他のフィルステイと名のつく宿にも色々滞在しましたが、立地はナンバーワンの便利さです。明洞駅から坂を下る最初の角を右折して直ぐ。斜向かいにコーヒービーンズもあり屋台に行くにも周辺で買い物するにも行き帰りしやすい。2件隣に前回明洞に来た時は無かったコンバースが出来ており、近所の従来からの店舗ほど日本人がウロチョロしておらず買い物しやすいです。部屋は案内してくれたレセプションの女性が言った通りかなり狭いのですが何故かバスルームが部屋と同じくらい広いという謎の作り。エアコンはよく効きますし床暖房あり、冷蔵庫もありで、使わなかったがランドリーも使えるようなので夏場や長期の滞在には良いと思う。ただ夜9時以降はフロント係が不在なのにカードキー等無しでも各フロアに入って来れるのでセキュリティが心配なのと、外出時にキーを抜くと電源が全て落ちる事、テレビの音が小さ過ぎてほとんど音が聞こえないのはマイナスですね。
• ADRIANA MITICO (8/5): - I LIKE EVERYTHING, GOOD LOCATION, THE STAFF IS VERY KIND AND HELPFUL.
• Anna (8/5): - It was my second stay at this hostel and I purposely came back as I enjoyed my first stay. The location of the hostel is just great to discover Seoul. The rooms are quite modern though nothing has changed since I have been here 4 years ago. Rooms are though tiny and have no windows. The staff is kind. It doesnt really feel like a hostel though as you hardly see any other guests. So if you ate up for meeting new people this is not for you.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Amazing location - The location of this hostel was amazing. It was right in the middle of Myeongdong close to the subway station and all the stores. I was staying in the four bed dorm which was nice and clean with very fast wifi.
• HONOKA (10/5): - 立地がとても良かったです。そして、ホストの方も感じが良く、２泊でしたが、お世話になりました^_^4人部屋は狭かったですが、ギリギリに決まったホテルだったので仕方ないです。ウォーターサーバーのホットはお湯が出ます。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 立地、スタッフのコスパ最高です。 スタッフさんにマッサージの予約変更をお願いしたら日本語あまり分からないのに一所懸命対応してくれてすごーく助かりました。 リピの予定ですが部屋が狭い‥ そこがクリアできるならありです。
• Verified traveler (8/5): 會想再次入住 - 適合行李不多的旅客，房間不大，但是乾淨舒適，這次住了5天4夜，一直到要退房的那天才有遇到會說中文的員工，但每個員工都很熱心，英文溝通都不是問題，還可以幫忙叫外賣跟協助訂機場接送
• Verified traveler (6/5): 패밀리룸 넘넘 싫어요...비추천 - 성인가족은 창문있는 패밀리룸 맨끝방. 넘넘좁고 진짜 비추천입니다.방도 넘좁고 침대는 거의 붙어있다시피,상체누이는 쪽에 튀어나온 기둥에 남편 새벽에 일어나다 모서리에 머리부딪혀 지금도 혹났다고 아프다고.침대옆에 커다란기둥이있어 화장실갈때 몸을 가로로 벽에 밀착해서들어가야하고 창문이있는게 좋다고 선심베푸는거처럼 말씀하시더니 창문에서 황소바람에 위풍은 얼마나 센지ㅜㅜ..머리를 반대로 놓고 잘정도였어요.바닥만 난방되고 위는 하나도 난방안되서 이불을 목까지 덮고도 춥다고...참 호텔스닷컴서 호텔이랑 게스트 수없이 해봤는데 이렇게 불평남기기는 난생첨이에요..우리나라 날씨 요즘 얼마나 따뜻한데 추워서 잠못잘정도 였으니..진짜 한겨울에오면 추워서 못잡니다..다신 오고싶지않아요 머리부딪친 남편 머리에 혹나서 지금도 아프다고 엄청뭐라합니다
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 全ての面において完璧だった。また泊まります
• MIYUKI (10/5): 駅、街への近さに大満足でした。 - 今回は娘との2人の２泊３日の弾丸旅行だったので、泊まれればいいと思い駅への近さと街への近さ重視で選びました。 スタッフの方の対応もよく、日本人のチェックインには日本語のできるお兄さんがとても親切に対応してくれました。 お風呂はトイレと一緒のシャワー式でしたが、熱さ水圧共に問題なく、換気もバッチリでした。ただ！タオルが１人１枚なので多少不便でした。 後は満足でした。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - ที่พักใกล้รถไฟใต้ดินมาก เดินไม่ไกลหาง่าย อยู่สถานีเมียงดง EX 7 เดินผ่านยูนิโคล่เลี้ยวขวาตรงร้านขายถั่ว TOM’S เดินตรงอีกนิดเดียว โรงแรมอยู่ซ้ายมือ มองป้ายชื่อสูงๆ โรงแรมอยู่ชั้น 4-5 สะดวกสบาย ลงมาก็ช๊อปปิ้งได้เลย พนง.ให้บริการยิ้มแย้มแจ่มใส
• arara (8/5): - 立地は、明洞駅からすぐで超便利です。 部屋は狭いですが、全体的に清潔感があり、セキュリティもしっかりしており、夜中に騒がしいといったこともありませんでした。ベッドは硬かったです。。 スタッフの方は感じが良く、価格もリーズナブルなので、また機会があれば利用したいです！
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy and smooth check in. Was kindly shown where everything in the room was or how ithings worked eg. Under floor heating. Simple breakfast of toast and cereal which was enough for me. The double room was very big, clean and well kept. Would recommend and stay here again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 位置一流，在地鐵站旁，而且在明洞購物街。簡單早餐也不錯。房間整潔。物超所值。
• ida l (8/5): - This is a good location and the workers are very helpful and nice!
• Sirada (10/5): - Staff service is exellent. The place is exactlly right on the shopping areal. Everything is so perfect and reasonable for the rate we pay ;)
• jeffrey (10/5): Enjoyable 3 day stay - Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. One of the best locations in Seoul. Walking out the door into the heart of downtown. We never needed to take a cab. Enjoyable breakfast nook and easy access to wifi. Small and cozy rooms. Beds were a little hard. We would gladly book again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - たのしかった！お兄さんが面白くて入った時からよかった！日本語話せませんってゆったのにちょっとはしゃべれてるし、英語で話すことや韓国語で多少会話ができて自分達も旅行の楽しさや言語の勉強ができてうれしい
• LittleToronto (10/5): - Friendly staffs, good experience. Good location. Will stay with them again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - フロントのお兄さんはとてもとても優しい方でした、とても親切に案内していただきました！　比較的新しい施設で静かでした、アクセスもよくまた是非利用させて頂きたいとおもいました。
• Jakie (8/5): - ありがとうございました。
• TETE (10/5): - 2回目の利用です。 殆ど寝るだけですので、明洞駅から近いし、フロントスタッフの方も日本語上手だしとても良いホテルです。多国籍の方々が宿泊しているので朝食の時間帯は少しザワザワしていますが私は全く気になりません。次回も1人渡韓の時は利用したいです。
• HUNG (10/5): - 房間真的很小，家庭房有兩種上下舖的格局，有一種很像膠囊房間的格局冷氣吹不進去，後來住了兩天就幫我們換了照片上的那種上下舖格局，但是房間格局真的小到行李真的無法打開整理～但是地理位置真的很好～整體還不錯！
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 場所が便利でスタッフもすごく親切です
• Verified traveler (10/5): - stayed on the second floor of the hostel, thanks for paying attention to my request - very sensitive to noises, a quiet room.... i must not be able to sleep on the first floor because of the noise outside... they gave me Rm 512, it was very quiet, although it's small....what can i say for the price? staff were friendly with smiles, would recommend the hostel to my friends. thank you so much!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Philstay Myeongdong Station is located very near the subway. It is also very easy to locate! I will rate convenience 5/5! The bed is comfortable, bedsheets are clean. They provide shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Theres free wifi in the room and in the common eating area. There’s also filtered water (hot and cold) for all to drink at the common area. The staff are generally friendly and helpful. A big shoutout to Jeong who cooked delicious food and enjoys sharing it with the guests staying at Philstay! He also helped us with SAFEX service when we registered our luggages pretty late. Thank you Jeong for the excellent service!! My friend and I will definitely come back to Philstay Myeongdong Station if we are gg back to Myeongdong!!
• Jakob Endrestad (10/5): Calm and quiet place right in the heart of Seoul! - Very nice play to stay. The location is absolutely perfect, and despite the street below being very lively, there is no noise in the rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast exceeded expectations. The only minus was that there was a smell (from the drains?) in the bathroom, but this wasn't really a problem. Having the AC on took care of it, and because of the temperature we kept the AC on whenever we were in the room. Would recommend people stay here!
• CHO Y (10/5): Another amazing stay - Another amazing stay with them, will definitely go back again and share my stay with friends! Highly recommended.
• CHO Y (10/5): Almost like a hotel service - The hostel is amazing, with their location, room size. The staffs are very helpful, they can speck English, and Chinese as well. They are very polite and kind, always very keen to help us out during our whole trip had gave us a great experience and memory for our first trip in Korea.
• M (10/5): - The staff are very accommodating.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 離明洞站6號出口非常近，且員工也都很熱情好聊，房間也維持的很乾淨整潔，最後離開時還有小禮物真的非常感動！
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 직원들이 아주 친절했고 숙소도 깨끗했어요. 그리고 명동역 6번 출구에서 걸으면 진짜 2분 도착할 수가 있어요! 다음에 또 여기서 살 고 싶어요!! 아주 추천해요! 離明洞站6號出口走路真的兩分鐘可以到，晚上也很安靜，房間也乾淨，非常推薦！會想再去住！
• Verified traveler (6/5): 보통입니다 - 전반적으로 괜찮았습니다.위치자체가 명동이라 지하철역에서 가깝고 주변에 상점들 많고...침구나 객실청소상태는 좋았습니다. 다만 가격이 다소 높은듯하고 복도와 옆방소음이 심했습니다
• SUNGJUN (10/5): - 숙박후 아들이 mp3을 두곤 온것을 전화로 확인해 주시고 택배로 배송까지 해 주셔서 정말로 감사했습니다. 다시한번 감사드리고 다음번에도 다시 이용하도록 하겠습니다.
• RIEKO (10/5): - スタッフさんも親切 立地も良い これからも利用予定です
• Vivian (10/5): Location!! Location!! Friendly Staff - Everything was just perfect, the staff, their service, the locations, cleanliness of the room etc. The team was so helpful and friendly, it was such a comfortable and friendly environment. My next Seoul trip, I would definitely stay there again! See you guys next time!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The location is excellent! Close to Limousine bus and train stations. You will never get hungry in this neighborhood. Lots of restaurants and food vendors. There are even 2 restaurants in the same building. Also, all the staff were friendly. The receptionist even gave each of us a face mask when we checked out.
• Asha (10/5): - The location was very difficult to find however the service and condition was excellent. Amazing night and day manager
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 명동 / 남산에 가깝습니다. 하룻밤 보내기에 적당합니다.
• pii (8/5): - 明洞駅から徒歩で3分ほどととても近く、立地は最高でした！！ホテルはビルの4階 ワンフロアだけで1階入り口にはホテルの看板は無いのでちょっと分かりづらいですが、エチュードハウスの隣が入り口でした。チェックイン時にルームキーの保証金で10000ウォンを渡し、チェックアウト時に返金されます！担当してくださった方は日本語が出来る方で説明もわかりやすかったです☺︎お部屋の広さは大きめのキャリーを開くのは厳しい広さで、ベット端の天井にほこり？のような物がありました（ ; ; ）それ以外は特にお部屋は綺麗でした！またユニットバスはシャワーのみでトイレとの間にシャワーカーテンはないです！夜にシャワーを浴びて次の日の朝にはすっかり乾いていたので特には気にならなかったです！！朝ごはんにはシリアル、食パン、カップラーメンがありました！ウォーターサーバーがあり常に利用可能でした。とにかくスタッフさんの対応が良く、明洞の中でも立地が良いと思います☺︎
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 滞在しやすかったです
• Verified traveler (4/5): - バスタオルがフロントに行って借りないと貸してくれない。タオルも少し汚れていた。隣の部屋との壁が薄く、物音がすごい。鏡からコンセントを差すところが遠く使いにくい。立地や寝るだけなら良いがゆっくりするにはオススメしない。
• hiromi (10/5): 明洞駅近で安くてきれいなホテル!!! - 明洞駅6番出口から5分です！UNIQLOの前の出口になります。出口から左に進み1個目の道を右に曲がりすぐです。 スタッフがいない時にホテルに着くのを先に伝えておいたら鍵を置いといてもらえて翌日も早いチェックインで帰りも対応良くすごく良かったです。部屋もきれいで、シャワートイレも広くて中々この値段で、駅から近くて、きれいで、スタッフの対応もよく、朝ご飯もある所はないと思います。 ホテルは安く済ませたいという方おすすめですよ^ ^
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall is good hostel, but my family room (4 pax) a bit small, difficult to open baggage in my room.
• RIEKO (10/5): とても良いです - スタッフのみなさんが親切です。 ロケーションも良くて快適な旅になります
• CHIMIN (8/5): 麻雀雖小 五臟俱全 - 位於熱鬧的明洞商圈內，附近都是美妝店，離最近的7-11走路不用五分鐘，民宿樓下就是炸雞店不怕沒宵夜吃，便利性及機能性都相當的好。這次住的是雙人房，跟以往住過的guesthouse 比，覺得空間很小，還好我們只有一個行李箱，不然應該會更擠。28寸行李箱只能在靠近玄關的地方才能完全打開，除了冰箱架上跟床頭架，沒有其他地方可擺放物品，如果是兩個「家私」很多的女生一定不夠放。整體乾淨舒服，櫃檯人員也很親切，英文、中文溝通無障礙，房價在同區的民宿飯店中也算可愛，會推薦給背包客朋友。
• Weng (8/5): Seoulmate - Ett perfekt ställe att bo i om man åker till Seoul. Det ligger bara några meter från Myeongdong station om man väljer samma exit där shopping street ligger. Personaler var trevliga, hjälpsamma och kan tala tydlig engelska. Rummet var enkelt och litet men mysigt, ren och mycket tyst trots mitt i city. Stannar gärna där igen nästa gång vi åker till Seoul.
• Verified traveler (10/5): It's cozy place to stay while i'm solo in Seoul ! - Althought the room quit small, but it's comfort and cozy place to stay alone. The bathroom size also ok, not that narrow. The staff also friendly. Will stay again if i visit to Seoul next time.
• Eri (10/5): - チェックインも早めだったにも関わらず、丁寧に対応していただき、とても丁寧に部屋の使い方も教えてくださいました！
• トーコ (10/5): - 明洞のど真ん中で立地は抜群です！スタッフの方はいい人ばかりで軽い朝食もセルフでたべれます。次もこちらにお世話になりたいです。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - お値段に見合ったサービスと立地抜群！ 受付のお兄さんが少しの日本語と英語で親切に対応してくれて好印象でした。お世話になりましたー
• Verified traveler (10/5): - スタッフも優しくとても素晴らしい環境でした！
• Verified traveler (8/5): - ห้องนอนใหม่ สะอาด พนักงานภาษาอังกฤษดีมาก ให้ความช่วยเหลือดีมากๆ แต่ห้องพักเล็กกว่าที่เห็นในรูป และห้องที่ได้ไม่มีหน้าต่าง
• Roy (8/5): - シングルは香港のゲストハウス並の狭さですが、明洞のど真ん中なので仕方ないかなぁ。清潔感のある部屋です。シャンプー、トリートメント、ボディーソープ、ヘアドライヤーはあります。ただ、石鹸、歯磨きはありません。タオルはミニタオルが2枚でした。バスタオルはありません。ミニ冷蔵庫はありましたが、効きが何故かかなり悪かったです。対応してくれたスタッフは親切でカッコよかったです(^^) という事で総合的にはオススメです♪
• Don (10/5): - Had a very pleasant stay here! Very clean and the staffs are nice
• AYANO (10/5): チェックアウト当日まで買い物できました！ - 明洞駅から近く、観光地の中心の割にはリーズナブルで綺麗で良かったです。 長期滞在する時は少し窮屈だと思うので、一泊や二泊の旅行で効率よく遊びたい方にオススメです。 また利用したいと思います。
• o.m (10/5): - 綺麗だし、アクセスも抜群だし、バストイレ別だし とにかくスタッフの人がいい人でした！！！
• YUKI (8/5): 2人部屋で2泊3日宿泊 - 娘と2人で宿泊しました。 明洞の駅から近くとても便利でした。 またチェックイン前、チェックアウト後も、無料で荷物を預かってもらえて助かりました。 立地が良く、休憩したり買い物した荷物を置きに帰れたりととても便利でした。 部屋は狭いのは覚悟していたのですが、スーツケース1個は広げることができ、 特に不便なく快適に過ごせました。 ホテルの方たちも親切な対応で、次もまた利用したいと思ってます。
• Axel (10/5): Great clean and modern hostel - We had a twin room that was small but enough to stay and sleep which is the only thing we wanted. The rooms have floor heating as a nice bonus. The staff was nice and helpful of finding a place for typically local Korean food for breakfast. There is a lot of shopping just outside the hostel with the typical brand stores you find everywhere. The subway is seconds away which makes it location perfect
• Verified traveler (10/5): - スタッフの方も設備も最高
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a great 6 night stay here. Aiden, Host Moon, Lee, and the rest of the staff were all very welcoming, friendly and hospitable. We arrived at the hotel early, and were allowed to leave our luggage in the foyer until time for check in. When we went back for check in, Aiden showed us to our room where he had already moved our luggage and continued to show us how to use the under floor heating in case we got cold. Our stay was very pleasant aside from the fact that room walls are thin and we were woken by singing one morning from the neighbouring room at 5am. We had a family room with a window, which let in a draught making it a bit cold despite the floor heating. We requested an extra double duvet and were provided one promptly by housekeeping with no trouble - we were fine after that. Breakfast was simple but enough, with offerings of bread, cereal, and pot noodles along with tea, coffee and juice. It happened to be a member of our party's birthday and we wished to keep a birthday cake in the fridge until the next morning. Lee was very kind and he happily obliged. When we offered both host Moon and Aiden a slice of birthday cake the next morning, host Moon unexpectedly and very generously gifted the birthday girl with a K-Pop album, making her very very happy!! We recommend staying on the 5th floor if possible as it seems the 4th floor may be a bit noisier due to the common area. Overall we would not hesitate to recommend Philstay Myeongdong station.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great service, room cleanliness and convenient location! However the only downside is that the room was pretty tight for 2 people with 2 medium sized luggages. There was a hollow pillar in the middle of the room taking up a lot of space, such that when the luggages opened there wasnt much room to walk. Other than the space everything else was good.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Conveniently located hotel in Myeongdong - Very near Myeongdong subway station. In the street of Myeongdong shopping district. New hotel, nice interior, friendly staff, simple breakfast. Great overall experience.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Superb place and staff, very accessible to shops, bus and train stations.
• Ben (8/5): - Good location,near subway.Just 5 mins walk to the hotel.Staff was friendly and helpful.Room is kind of small but is Ok.Overall worth the money for the stay.
• El (8/5): Nice staff and facilities, but room is too small - Staffs are very nice and fluent in English, so there’s no problem to communicate. There’re laundry and wash dryer facilities, so it’s very convenient. Location is very convenient, near bus stop and subway station, easy to find foods as it’s located in myeongdong food street. I stayed in family room, there’s pillar in between bed and toilet makes the room narrow, hardly to walk around or open luggage. Room lightning is not bright enough.
• Hanh (10/5): Great place to stay in central location - Location: great location in the middle of Myeongdong. It is a 2 minute walk to the nearest subway station. Step outside and you’re in the middle of it all. There is a yummy fried chicken and beer place in the same building. Service: We arrived really early but since they had a room ready they let us check in which was much appreciated. They also speak English and were helpful. Room: The room was clean and modern. It looks new. The rooms are small by American standards. It is the size of the 2 beds with enough room for 1 person to walk. So if one person is getting ready the other person would sit on the bed. The shower is over the sink and handheld only so when I need to shampoo my hair I would have to put the shower head back on the holder and turn off the water, otherwise I get shower spraying on my face and not over my head. The towels are not the size of bath towels but the size of gym towels. No daily housekeeping, you just clean up after yourself. Free breakfast is toast, yogurt cereal and instant ramen. This is perfect for us because we don’t normally eat breakfast anyways. We came here knowing it’s a hostel B&B, not a hotel. The standards are a little different from western accommodations and I don’t hold them to western standards. If you need eggs bacon and toast for breakfast don’t come here cuz all you get is toast. With this in mind and with our expectations in check I would recommend. P.S. Cute guys work there
• Chee Peng (8/5): Strategic location but small room - The location is strategic. Near to the public transport like subway & bus station. However the room is very small, not really suitable for the family with kids.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a wonderful time staying here, will definitely book this hotel the next time we visit Seoul again.
• Nancy (10/5): - great staff who can speak english and readily provide information and suggestions on what to do. the breakfast is well done and the room secure although small for western standards, but very clean and bed is comfy. has fridge, a/c, tv basic toiletries and extra towels are readily available. excellent location just right outside the hustle and bustle of Myeong-Dong and within all stores, eats and services and just around the corner is the subway station. Biggest plus again is to the excellent staff - Jang, Aiden, Moon, Hyunsoo and they have both a washer and dryer on site ! would definitely stay there again.
• KW (10/5): In the heart of myeong dong - Great location, close to airport limousine bus stop and very close to subway. The hotel is located at myeongdong, you can enjoy shopping till 11 pm. I stayed in double room, it might a bit tiny but it’s fine for me. The staff are very helpful and friendly.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Perfect location in Myeong-dong - Easy to find this hotel.. very convenient as it is just walking distance to shopping area.. Hotel staffs are good & can speak English as well.. Very clean hotel, however the room is quite small but it's okay for us.
• Ava (10/5): Amazing Hostel in city center - The hotel was in the heart of Myeongdong’s beauty shops. Once you step out of the building, it is bustling from 8am to midnight. T Super convenient to all shopping, the subway, airport bus, Lotte department store and walkable to sights. Given the location, it was well worth the moey paid per night. The facilities are clean, modern and more than satisfactory. The rooms are small but it is expected in Asia. They offer complimentary breakfast of toast, coffee, cereal and instant noodles, which was fine. The staff were very accommodating as there was a minor issue with the booking and we had to switch rooms each night. But I’m glad that they were able to accommodate us since the hotel and location was amazing. I will recommend this hostel to all my friends and definitely stay here again the next time I am in Seoul!! Thank you Philstay Myeongdong!
• Seewhat (10/5): Nice hotel - A very convenience place to stay for tourists. Stuff is friendly and helpful.
• Anna (8/5): Nice Hostel in the Heart of Myeongdong! - I had a few days stay at this Hostel, and I really liked it. The hostel is modern just like a Hotel, and its location is unbeatable, it is only 1-2 mins walk from the Myeongdong Train Station, located in the middle of the shopping district, banks, currency exchange, and at night the place is buzzling with night markets and gorgeous food! It is probably the easiest hostel to find! The hostel has concierge, water tanks,common dining area, common laundry machine. The room is very modern and clean, you have your own lovely spacious bathroom with shampoo/body wash supplies, very comfy bed, hairdryer, fridge, TV with tons of channels. You can also key in your ideal room temperature in the room, and there is floor heating for the harsh winter! Every morning I believe there is breakfast at the shared eating area, but I always miss it! You will also see sometimes the staff will be cooking food at the kitchen for their own lunch, nice experience! One advice though, if you're travelling as a couple/have 2 or more big suitcases, go for the twin beds as there will be more floor space. There is a common laundry machine but no dryer so bring some hangers to hang clothes for drying (especially in winter where clothes dry slower). They do provide a clothes hanging rack you could borrow (the bathroom is really spacious to put the clothes rack) and a few hangers on the door in the room. Otherwise in this busy district I'm sure there are laundrettes around. I really enjoyed staying here!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good choice for convenience and budget - This place is located right at busy tourist district. Even with artic chill, saw many tourists in the area. For the price, this place can't be beat. The owner was exceptially nice. If you wanna stay in downtown Seoul, this is the place. This place is within walking distance of many Seoul attractions. Very easy to get to from Incheon airport. Airport limousine bus stop is only two minutes walk. But if you can't stay in a tight space, pay more and go someplace else.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The hotel was nice and clean. The room is good for backpackers.
• Loh (8/5): - We stayed in a family room with bunk bed. Space is quite tight and it may be a problem if you have 3 or more pieces of luggage. There is no separate shower and dry area, so you need to dry yourself and wear your clothes in the same space. Otherwise is a good stay, in a super good location with shopping, cinema and train right at your doorstep. Wifi is good and room design is modern.
