There's no front desk and we have to communicate via ipad provided at the counter. The response was very2 slow. If wanted to do this way, please response it asap rather than keep us waiting. We were so tired 😩😩😩😩😩. Please improve 🙏🙏🙏🙏

The location was suitable and easy to get to the nearest public transport, food etc

Stayed in May 2024

Having no receptionist to assist when there’s concerns. Our room was opened and the door was left opened without advising us.

The location is near Myeongdong and Namsan Tower. It also offer a chance for a big group to stay in one room. Namsan offers good price compared to the other hotels on the area and very near public transport. It’s convenient for groups under budget.

The room plan was madness, never before did I have to use the toilet and shower located in the balcony! Mind you, there are also no other windows into the room apart from that balcony. So if anyone has just used the toilet, good like trying to get any fresh air in the room. On top of that, sound isolation from next room is absolutely nonexistent, with one thin wooden door between. Had a pretty bad sleep, unsurprisingly.

The location is easily accessible, within walking distance of Myeongdong and many transport links around it.

It was no staff there, we booked a deluxe room which supposed to have kitchen and washing machine, but we got a small room without any of these. I texted the owner but they did not help at all. They said that we can change room next day but they think our room is the best.

It was in Myeongdong so It was close to everything. Metro station was 5 mins walk away. Emart is next to the apartment.

Staff, there is none. They were not accomodating even basic questions that I communicated well before the stay including bed sheets/linen

Location

Bath towels were not provided when we checked in, only hair towels were provided. Had to request from the not so friendly lady at the front desk & she works till about 5pm everyday. So if we need anything, nobody to assist after 5pm. Extra trash bags for the dustbins were also not provided too. She only gave me one when I asked for it.

Stayed in February 2024

our room very dirty. The blanket and mattress felt itchy, as if they hadn't been cleaned for a long time. The wardrobe was also filled with dust.Additionally, the WiFi was not functioning during our entire 4-day stay.

The hotel staff was very helpful

It’s definitely a dated building. It’s an older facility and it shows. Outside and common areas look newer than the inside of the rooms.

Stayed for 10 days, great value. The property was responsive and helpful on Kakao. There was no issues throughout the stay. It was clean and we never saw a single bug. This is not a chain hotel - think of it like an apartment building converted into a guesthouse. Everything worked and again I will say it was clean. Nice views of Namsan out the window and like 6 convenience stores within a 5 minute walk. Myeongdong also a 5 minute walk. I would stay again.

The check-in was a surprise; I did not know that I would be communicating via Ipad. This made security a serious concern. If you give me the security code on the Ipad, what would stop someone from scrolling up, reading my security code, and then entering my room?

I enjoyed the clean room and the comfy bed. The location was good.

Not sound proof, could hear neighbors talking. Toilet too cold during winter even windows are closed. Should have big trash bins on each level. And hotel signage is too small.

Self check in anytime and location of hotel.

There was only one thin blanket but the weather was so cold! I was freezing! I also found the shower was small and uncomfortable. I think the pictures made it appear nicer than it was.

The room was big and the lady was very helpful.

No hot water in the morning, i've tried for an hour :(

Nice and comfy plance, near the bus station. Spacious

It's hard to communicate with the host. You can only message him/her through an Ipad at the office. (Which takes time to reply especially if you have plans for the day) I had to tell him to communicate through booking.com messages. Other option would ve KAKAO talk--which most tourists won't have..also,, there are alot of mosquitos, so ready your bug spray.

The bed was comfortable. I got a good night sleep after a long day of walking. 24-hrs convenient store is just downstairs with a nice chill vibe. The cleaning lady, Ahjuma-as we called her, is nice. But she seemed so tired because I think she is the only cleaning person for the hotel. We even saw her at 10pm sweeping by the entrance door.. she does not speak English good, but she tries her best to communicate with a smile. The location is just a street across Myeongdong shopping street.. it's a bit of uphill walk tho, from the main street. So think twice if you have big luggages. Bottom line, we slept well for a good price.

No people at front desk. Hard to communicate if u need something

Near to everything

Stayed in October 2023

There was old style power plugs, we bought power adaptor to fix this but no luck. Contacted owner and they brought over one special universal plug to charge all our things. Towels are small. In a usual three pack with a face towel and medium towel and large towel we had only the medium. Room from pictures made it look bigger than it was. And it was about two blocks uphill from the hot spot area. Steep hill to.

The beds were very comfortable, soft not like regular hard Asian beds. Internet was good.

We had the deluxe double room, according to the pictures our shower should have been separated but that was not the case and it was just a shower head on top of the sink. The bathroom had mold on the corners and the room had stains on the walls. We asked for an extra blanket via text (as their only way of communication) because the cover was too small and never got a reply.

The location was great. Right next to the shopping street and near a Michelin star restaurant.

Literally right down the street from Myeongdong.

Not Applicable hostel as advertised.

Namsan Forest in Myeongdong has a good location just off the main Myeongdong Road and close to Myeongdong Walking Street. The rooms are small/very small (think HK style), but we knew that before we checked in, so no complaint. The room has ensuite bathroom, TV and most importantly a very efficient aircon (most useful in balmy, humid August). Although the room was small there is an excellent common area and a laundry (wash 4000 won, dry 5000 won), plus a kitchen/pantry area with all usual amenities. In summary, if you are a tidy person the small size of the room is manageable and for the price - overall excellent.

There was a bit of back and forth in the first few days, as I had to move from one room to another.

Location is unbeatable, very close to Myeongdong street and between Myeongdong and Hoehyeon subway stations.
