2-Star Hotels in Seoul

For breakfast, I saw some guests use their hands to take wet food like ham, and use their hands to take bread also, both actions touched the food inside the tray box. I think staff need to implement some control here for hygiene purposes. Room is clean, staff is helpful. I saw the staff separate the plastic bottles and general waste during housekeeping, which should be for recycling purposes. The shopping street is just downstairs, very convenient.

The hotel was very accessible and located near myeongdong station. You get to enjoy different type of foods right outside the hotel as it is at the center of the shopping street.

The worst and most disgusting experience I have ever had! The bathroom and the windows are full of mold. The walls are full of stains. And the bedspread was full of stains. The cleaning staff had changed this blanket at the beginning but the current one is also with stains or blood no one knows. For the record when we checked into the room we were accompanied by the host. Because of the house rules and so on. I immediately noticed the stained blanket on the bed and brought it to the host's attention. He then typed in on Google translator that it was just stains which would not come out of the blanket. I was quite shocked and had to ask him to change the blanket. Yes, and then we discovered in what condition the room really is. The host let us know that you can not expect more because of the price. Sorry but hygiene should be a standard. For the record: The marketing pictures are not up to date and in no way show the reality of the house.

Hotel is located some distance from trademark Namsan Seoul Tower. Though it does not offer car parking but it is a good value for money. It is clean and affordable. There are a couple of convinience stores nearby, so you do not have to walk much in case you need something to eat or drink. Overall nice place to spend a night here

It was a good stay. The surrounding environment is very quiet, just a short walk from the bus stop and metro. The facilities are well kept and clean. They offer converters which was great. Only complain is that we booked a room for three persons thinking there would be a private bathroom but there wasn’t.

I was there for five nights. Travelling with my teenage daughter.Just both of us.I find the location very convenient about 338meter to Metro station where it has all Line accepted Line 1 or Line 2 where you have to change to Dongdaemun station. I arrived at the hotel around 9am they don't allow us to have early check in even though I have requested 2 months upfront during the booking. During my stay at the hotel is under renovation but it doesn't really affect us. Since we aren't really in the room all the time. We were outside most of the time. My room hasn't been cleaned for almost 2 days. When i reached my room that night I called the receptionist..he said all our cleaners already go home.So he handed me the fresh linen for me to replace myself. The linen has a very strong chlorine smell that really affects my skin..my skin gets so itchy. So i covered my whole body when i want to sleep so the linen won't really touch my skin. Bare in mind that the cleaner won't clean your dishes ya!!! Even if you have a sink. If you left your dishes for 3 days it will be there for 3days😝🤣 Overall i have a good time staying here. My opposite view is a hospital. Walking distance to DDM station.

Overall, I had a great stay at 24 Guesthouse Myeongdong and would stay there again! PROS: -Location is prime! This was the biggest pro IMO, the metro was steps outside the building, I could easily walk to markets like Namdaemun and Myeongdong, and other attractions (like Namsan Tower, South Gate). The neighborhood has lots of restaurants and is very walkable and I felt safe whatever time I was out. -Staff is friendly and responsive. I booked through Booking.com and used their app and they promptly responded to messages. When I was on-site they were very friendly and helpful although there was varying levels of English fluency-nothing that the Papago app couldn't help with. -Staff also accommodated my long stay (7 days) since they didn't have one room open for the entire 7 days, I did have to change rooms. But I loved the hotel and location so I appreciated their flexibility and willingness to work with me. -Rooms are simple and clean -Their coffee machine made very good coffee-I really enjoyed it Neither PRO nor CON Breakfast is very simple, toast, cup of noodles, coffee and juice-I recommend heading over to Namdaemun around 9-9:30 and grabbing a fresh hotteok before heading out for the day. CONS: -Most rooms have no exterior windows and the walls were thin-bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper like me! -Hotel is on the 10th floor-that itself is not bad, but it did make me re-think whether it was worth doing a quick drop off or taking a mid-day break.

The location was great. I also want one in the bathroom where the location of the outlet is difficult to use. I would like the location of the shower and toilet paper to be improved. When I opened the window, it wouldn't close. Air conditioner doesn't work. It was worth the price.

The hotel is decent overall, but there are a few drawbacks that might impact your stay. First, there are too many stairs, which can be a bit inconvenient, especially if you have heavy luggage or mobility issues. The rooms and common areas feel quite cramped, leaving little room to move around comfortably. While the staff are polite, their hospitality doesn't quite match the warmth you'd expect. They’re helpful to a certain extent, but their friendliness seems a bit forced or limited. On the bright side, the breakfast is a highlight of the stay. The variety and quality of the food are excellent, offering a delicious and hearty start to the day. It's definitely more than enough to keep you energized for whatever plans you have.

The room i booked is tiny. For 1 pax, just sleep is fine. The price is low but still get the basic necessity in a room, such as hairdryer, hot shower, tv, aircon. Bed isn't best but reasonable. Toilet is small but decent and clean. There is a window. Room key is manual lock. So remember to turn the lock when inside and use key to lock the door when leaving. Location wise is fine. From exit 10 of seoul station, take the stairs out to street level, and go uphill , 10m away. u can see the hotel name. This place is on a upslope. Can be physically challenging after a long day touring outside. To avoid the stairs, use the lift inside the sct mall (at exit10 paris baguette)to get to street level. If during odd hours and with heavy luggage, need to avoid the stairs, can also take a long enroute to cross the main road in front of seoul station. Odd hours, some escalotor may not be running, and i saw escalator at exit 10 only operate in up-riding direction(morning peak hour.) Beside the hotel is a mall with several restaurants in the basement.
