    This is not a complaint about the accommodation or necessarily a negative at all: Myeongdong as a district and the hostel's immediate surrounding area can feel very crowded and touristy.

    Excellent location: right by a major shopping street and attractions such as Gyeongbokgung, Bukchon Hanok Village and Insadong very easily reachable by public transportation or walking. Breakfast pretty good (eggs, toast, peanutbutter & jelly, coffee etc.) Very clean! Overall an excellent combination of value for money, comfort and location.

    • Bunk Bed in Male Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    For a 6-bed dormitory, the room is too small. There is not enough space to move around the room. With a very small space in the room luggeges bags and shoes are occupying them. The curtain of my bed is also sagging which made me lose my privacy. I've asked the reception to have it fixed but it was not actioned.

    The location is excellent. It is very convenient. It is close to transportation, night market, shopping area and church.

    The location is very central, only steps away from Myeongdong shopping district. Easy to access from the airport - the 6015 airport bus drops you off 5 minutes from the location. Handy that the hotel has its own kitchen and dining area so you can make light meals, which helps when you are a lone traveller and don't want to go to dine in a restaurant on your own of if you are on a budget. There are laundry facilities in the hotel, too.

    The room for a 6-Bed dormitory is uncomfortably small. There is not enough space for luggages and difficult to move around when aĺl the bags and luggages are on the floor. The bed curtain is sagging and people can see me losing my privacy. I've requested to have it fixed but was not actioned. You will also have to bring your own lock to secure your important belongings inside the cabinet provided.

    The location is very convenient. Breakfast is good.

    Although the location in the city is great, actually finding the hotel was a little difficult.

    I stayed in the private room and it was very nice and its location is perfect for seeing a lot of the city, only a 25-30 min walk from Seoul tower.

    Very small space. To share this small toilet with more than 4 people is really uncomfortable, but most of the people that I stayed with were very nice. So, in general okay.

    The exellent location, very middle of Myeongdong, that leads to anywhere you want to visit. At this price it includes even a breakfast.

    The hostel didn’t have the most colorful or engaging facade that I’ve seen in other hostels. It’s not the worst to be practical or drab, but I enjoy hostels that lean into being more personal and fun. For me, that’s a big reason to stay in a hostel.

    The breakfast was simple but good. Everything was clean and nothing felt gross. I saw people cleaning common spaces every day. The location was convenient and great for exploring the nearby night market.

    Comfortable Stay, But Bathroom Was Tiny and Did Not Match The Photo
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 4-Bed Male Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The bathroom/toilet was tiny and did not look like the photos. It was so small, I thought the shower was somewhere else. I literally had to look for the shower. The place looks like a converted hotel with rooms remodelled into dorms. The hotel doesn't really feel like a hostel, it just feels like a large hotel with dorms, so there's no hostel vibe at all. The price was high for what it was.

    Comfortable bed with thick medium/firm mattress. The bed also had two electrical points and 2 USB ports. The privacy curtains did its job, but also had gaps to let the air circulate. The bunks were custom made and sturdy, so that you wouldn't really notice your bunkmate. The free breakfast was okay with a few choices. It was fine for one day. The location is right on Myeongdong where there's endless choices for food. Very busy place, but

    Nothing significant but a little ramp on the lobby to bypass the little stairs or access to basement lift would really be helpful for us travelling with prams and luggages.

    Close to everything Myeongdong has to offer. Lovely, accommodating, and helpful staff. Free breakfast is definitely a plus. Great backpacker/hostel ambiance which my wife and I kinda miss.

    We got a great Genius deal, but full price for the size of the room is a bit high. The toilet is extremely close to the wall in the two-person rooms. Be aware that a tall person may have issues there.

    Very clean room, very quiet hostel, and courteous staff. Breakfast was simple but plentiful. Coffee machines are available as well. Shampoo and body wash in the bathrooms, and you can have as many towels as you request. The staff were kind enough to let us leave our luggage for a few hours after check-out. They also have maps available in the elevator lobby. The hostel is also very close to two Metro stations. Overall, we had a great experience there!
