"This hotel is conveniently located near Myeongdong Street, just a short walk through some shops to the corner. It's really easy to get to the shopping district, and Lotte Department Store is also very close on foot. Since it's on a corner, it's nice and quiet. There's no elevator, so the staff helped carry our luggage upstairs, which was appreciated. The room had all the essential amenities: a TV, air conditioning, hot water, a fridge, and even a washing machine – everything you'd expect and it all worked great! The best part was the free instant noodles, complete with detailed instructions on how to prepare them. Their luggage storage service was also excellent. We were able to store our shopping and then repack before heading out again. I would definitely come back next time! #MyeongdongBudgetStay #GreatPlace"

The room was small but sufficient. Be aware that rooms on the 6th floor might be noisy due to the karaoke downstairs; we were moved to the 7th floor on our second day. The hotel provides shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toothpaste, soap, disposable toothbrushes, towels, and slippers. There's also a TV.

A stay at THE CAPSULE Myeongdong places you in the heart of Seoul, within a 15-minute walk of Dongdaemun History and Culture Park and Gwangjang Market. This capsule hotel is 0.7 mi (1.2 km) from Dongdaemun Design Plaza and 0.8 mi (1.4 km) from Myeongdong Street. Featured amenities include multilingual staff, luggage storage, and a safe deposit box at the front desk. Make yourself at home in one of the 34 guestrooms. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Bathrooms feature showers, hair dryers, and slippers.

"The Capsule Myeongdong is a practical, budget-friendly choice with an excellent location near the subway and main shopping areas. The premises are clean and provide adequate basic amenities for a brief stay. However, the capsule space is extremely limited and lacks soundproofing, meaning noise from other guests is easily heard. Shared bathrooms can also become crowded during peak hours. Overall, it serves as a functional, no-frills base for travelers prioritizing price and convenience over comfort and privacy."

"Love this cute and simple set up. Self Check in process was simple from the machine. Love that there are washer and dryer which was really helpful. Had my daily doses of Americano as well at the kitchen area. The amenities were very well thought of, from cleanser to combs and hair dryer. Small space just enough for one person as you can’t really walk around with bags opened. Otherwise really clean and quiet. Location is not too bad, less than 5 minutes walk to Seodaemun subway. However might not be ideal if one would prefer certain itinerary in Seoul as I find myself spending a lot of time travelling between Hongdae, Myeondong, Seongsu, and Gangnam. Would recommend otherwise"

Set in Seoul's Jung-gu, Haechi-stay Myeongdong is positioned to meet the needs of those traveling for fun or business.

"I didn't have my reservation number for check-in, so I contacted them via KakaoTalk and got a quick response, allowing me to check in smoothly. (There were also QR codes for other chat apps like LINE). The room itself was sufficiently clean, as it was new. Besides a refrigerator, there was also a washing machine. Amenities included shampoo, and slippers were provided. The bathroom, with the toilet and shower in the same space, meant the toilet got wet when showering, but this is common in Korea, so it didn't bother me. The quietness was also not an issue at all. There aren't any chairs, so you have to sit on the side of the bed, but the room isn't very spacious, so that's understandable. Due to the building's structure, the elevator only goes up to the 6th floor, so you have to take the stairs for one flight. (The 6th floor seemed to be another hostel). The location is also very convenient, being close to the Myeongdong bustling area. I was a bit worried when I booked because there were no reviews, but ultimately, it was a room I'd like to use again if I have the chance."

"Excellent location. Breakfast is included, along with amenities such as towels and slippers. Overall cleanliness is good, though the bathrooms are somewhat dated and in need of renovation. The female dormitory is essentially a single large room packed with beds; while there are spacious lockers for belongings, there is very little space in the aisles."

"The hotel is located between two subway stations, requiring a bit of a walk. It's not ideal if you have a large suitcase, especially since the brick path makes it hard to drag. However, the overall location is quite good. You can easily walk to Hongdae while exploring along the way. Two male owners take turns cleaning; both are very kind, and one speaks Chinese, which made communication easy. You can store your luggage, and self-check-in is very convenient. There are two toilets, two sinks, and three vanity stations in the bathroom area. There are also three or four showers – not super spacious but perfectly adequate. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided, along with a hairdryer and curling iron (though I personally found the shampoo not very good, haha!). When I stayed, there were quite a few Chinese guests. The bed was very comfortable and even had an electric blanket. It wasn't fully booked during my visit, so the experience was great. There are many good places to eat nearby. Overall, a good experience."

Hotel near Myeong-dong,Seoul
With a stay at ARA125 in Seoul (Myeong-dong), you'll be within a 5-minute walk of Myeongdong Street and Lotte Department Store. This hotel is 0.5 mi (0.8 km) from Namdaemun Market and 0.2 mi (0.4 km) from Myeongdong Cathedral. This hotel was built in 2016. Take advantage of the hotel's room service. Breakfast is available daily from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM for a fee. Featured amenities include express check-out and a safe deposit box at the front desk. Make yourself at home in one of the 23 air-conditioned rooms featuring flat-screen televisions. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and cable programming is available for your entertainment. Private bathrooms with showers feature bidets and hair dryers.

"The hotel is located right in the heart of Myeongdong, very close to Euljiro subway station. With many restaurants nearby, the location is incredibly convenient. I arrived at the hotel around 11 PM on my check-in day, so I went up to the 3rd floor via the elevator and found a card key with my name on it at the counter. I believe if I had gone to the counter the next day, they would have told me my room number, but I was short on time and just continued using the card key, which wasn't inconvenient at all. The room didn't have enough space to fully open a large suitcase without blocking the aisle, but since I was traveling alone, it wasn't a major issue. The mirror and light were very handy for doing makeup. The sink, shower, and toilet were all in one area, but it was clean and easy to use. The water pressure in the shower was also good. I could catch a glimpse of the Myeongdong cityscape from the window. There were plenty of outlets, so as long as you have a plug adapter and a voltage converter, you should be fine. Towels were provided in the room, and extra ones were available in the hallway, which I found to be a thoughtful touch. Although it was a non-smoking room, there was a smoking area very close to the hotel, which made it tolerable. I would definitely consider staying here again for a solo trip! Thank you."

"Excellent location! It's just a short walk from Jongno 3-ga subway station. There are tons of convenience stores nearby (GS25, CU, 7-Eleven, you name it!) and plenty of restaurants, including some great options for solo diners. You'll also find a lot of bars and cafes. The location is a little tucked away, which makes it surprisingly quiet. I arrived quite late, so I emailed them beforehand and received a very detailed and patient reply. If it weren't for all the K-pop fans lately making it hard to book consecutive nights, I would definitely have stayed longer. The transportation is super convenient, and there's Tapgol Park nearby for a stroll. It's also close to many other attractions. Cleanliness: Very clean and tidy. Facilities: The common areas are well-equipped. The room has a mini-fridge, and the bathroom has a wet/dry separation, with slippers thoughtfully placed right at the entrance, and a floor mat. Service: They have local travel guides available for reference (I've included a picture of the guide). When I checked out, I met a very warm and polite Korean lady. I just love the vibe here! There's a restaurant on the street outside that serves amazing beef bone soup noodles, and a set meal with grilled meat. I forgot to take a picture of the name, but the auntie there speaks good English and provides fantastic service!"

So happy! Had a very comfortable stay. The deposit was 50,000 KRW. The front desk staff was really helpful; I asked him to wash and dry my clothes, which cost 10,000 KRW. I didn't manage to wake up for breakfast, so I didn't have any. The room was big enough for one person to sleep comfortably, and the location is excellent! There's a 24-hour soup and rice place downstairs! The only downside is that the subway station is a bit of a walk, about 10+ minutes, but you can get to popular spots in just a few minutes.

Oh my goodness! I was so lucky to choose this hostel. I originally booked a room with two single beds and a private bathroom, but the front desk upgraded me directly to a triple room with one queen bed and one single bed – it was fantastic! It was also very close to the elevator, and there's a luggage scale available in the hallway. Downstairs, there's a huge Olive Young (pharmacy/beauty store), right in the heart of Myeongdong. Across the street, there's a convenience store and the delicious Sinseon Seolleongtang, so everything you need is super convenient. The hostel offers a simple breakfast; personally, I didn't find it particularly delicious, but it was acceptable. You have to wash your own dishes after eating, and the hygiene conditions are excellent. The front desk service was also very enthusiastic and spoke English. I recommend booking two months in advance for more choices and better prices.

We stayed at this hotel from August 10th to 17th. Location-wise, it's a 50-minute commute to the city center. Check-in is done via a machine, so don't expect a smiling face or a warm welcome wishing you a pleasant stay. Not a huge deal, though. The room isn't cleaned during your stay, as the owner (an elderly gentleman) informed us. However, towels were changed twice, and toiletries were replenished. The bed was quite firm, which wasn't ideal after long walks until midnight, but it only bothered us for the first 15 minutes before we'd drift into a deep sleep. The air conditioning works well, and so does the extractor fan. The panoramic windows really add to the hotel's appeal. Overall, I'd give it 2 stars, which is what it's rated.

I had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the dedicated female area requires a secure code to enter, which made me feel very safe as a solo woman.However, the room comfort was quite poor. I was assigned a top bunk bed, and the room was incredibly hot because the air conditioning had been turned off.The bathroom facilities are located outside of the room and consist of a universal toilet. While the shower itself was okay, the towel provided was tiny and looked like it had already been used.While the security for women is great, the hot room and poor linen quality mean I would likely look elsewhere next time.

Stayed here again. It's close to Gangnam, and this time, this place was the cheapest. **Facilities:** They provide a free water dispenser with both hot and cold water, and a kitchen where you can cook. The hot water and air conditioning both work great. However, the bed rails felt a bit flimsy and wobbly. **Cleanliness:** Clean. **Environment:** It's comfortable when there aren't many people, but it gets very crowded when full... the space is just too small. **Service:** Average.

The room was extremely small — like, no space to even open a suitcase. As soon as you walk in, it’s basically just the bed, and then the bathroom. Overall, it didn’t feel very clean. The bathroom had a musty smell, and it honestly felt like they tried to cover it up by spraying a lot of bleach. Amenities were very minimal — just water and a hair dryer. The hair dryer kept turning on and off, so it was pretty frustrating to use. The location, though, was the best part. I booked it because I had an early KTX train, and it’s right in front of Seoul Station Exit 10, which was super convenient. But for the price, the value is really poor. I definitely wouldn’t book it again. Especially if you have luggage — I strongly don’t recommend it because there’s literally no space to put a suitcase. I was lucky I only had a backpack for a short trip.
