Definitely a good location and decent stay overall
Room was small but very clean, linens were good quality for a cheaper hotel. Desk staff is helpful, breakfast is basic but good if you need it. The best thing about this hotel is that it is quiet and clean while being reasonably priced in an unbeatable location. We spent 4 days/5 nights in Seoul and felt like this was the best and most central location we could have asked for in a room. Would recommend to anyone who is fine with basic amenities and is prioritizing location!
The location was GREAT, there were so many street vendors right as you walk out of the building, it was also right next to the cathedral. There were many metro options and a nearby bus stop that takes you right to the airport. The breakfast was simple but free! It had toast, cereal and eggs, it was great if you wanted something quick and easy before going out. The bathroom was nice I liked that there were many showers and they had lots of privacy, and were pretty clean. They give you towels which was very nice because not all hostels provide them. I would stay here again!
Very good value for money. I had a private double room, with amazing corner views of the cathedral and down Myeongdong street. It felt safe with security downstairs and 24 hour front desk, and though the room and bathroom were basic, it was all I needed. The free breakfast, though just toast and soups, was quite useful.
Rooms was decent for a hostel. Right in the middle of so many shops, night market, etc. they provide umbrellas if it rains.
Breakfast was simple - must wash your own dishes after use.
I would not stay here again. I stayed in a private room and it was not clean upon my arrival. There were stains on the wall in the room and in the bathroom and overall cleanliness was not the best. It was also not cheap. The location was good.
