123 Hostel Reviews

perfect place to stay. near myeongdong station and night market. would definitely book again

the comfiest budget hostel i ever booked. there is a lift in second floor in other side. the room is convinient for my solo experience. the hostel is located 500m near the namsan cable car, so the road is bit uphill. also if you take subway to commute, and bring the huge luggage you can take a lift by exit in number 1 myeongdong subway station for the muslim traveler, the space is enough for you to do prayer, near the subway station you cand find halal restaurant 'mari meokja' another poin plus i noted: ✅a lot electric plugs ✅mini refrigerator ✅shelf under the matress ✅kitchen/ pantry for public

Really good location, amazing view from the window and from the rooftop. The room has everything that I needed: equipped bathroom, TV, hairdryer. I definitely will be back here another time I travel.

good location, quiet but convenient. The room is quite small and not clean enough, and we can easily disturbed by the noise from neighbors. It is quite good in total for a hostel.

Location: Near Myeongdong Station, Exit 3. A 5-minute walk uphill is required. Room: Quite clean but a bit too small.

Nice place to stay! Special thanks for the late check-in service. We arrived at 2 AM and were worried we would have to wait until morning, but the staff at 123 Hostel left us a personalized envelope with check-in instructions and all the house rules! Thank you so much! Hope to stay here one more time:)

the location is very good and so convinence to take bus/metro. i can go to myeongdong enjoy the night life every night easily. the room is clean and easy to check in. the room is simple and provide basic equipments. rooftop can see seoul tower view and dont miss it!

The stay was great overall. However, sometimes when I shower at midnight there was no hot water, so I need to shower with cold water🥲. And my bathroom light was broken as well. The general service was okay, the person at the front desk was nice as well. But when I try to contact them before my travel I can’t get to them even in their service hours… Overall, it was a good stay beside the things mentioned above.

The noise at night were really loud. We stayed for 3 nights in total and after the first night we requested to change room, the staff said since the rooms were fully booked so that we could not change our room on the second night. We accepted and they change the room for us on the third night, however the shower noise of the room next to us was too loud too. Beside that, the location is good but not great. It located on a slope so that we had to climb up with our luggage, very tired. Their is no bathtub in the bathroom, the shower place is very small. At other hotels I got a plug adapter for free but this hotel required us to buy the adapter for 5k won. The only good poin of this hotel is that the staff were really friendly and can speak English and Japanese. Overall I DO NOT recommend this hostel to anyone.

We were pleasantly surprised with how clean this hostel was. It was in a fantastic location and the amenities were great. The staff were helpful too. There was a printer (we were charged 500 won per sheet). They have a washing machine but after washing, there was a damp smell to the clothes. The tumble dryer was not very effective either (even after 3 hours, the clothes were still damp and had a smell and we didn’t overload the machine). I’d recommend this hostel to anyone who wants to be near Myeongdong which is a fantastic place for shopping.

good location, close to metro

The bed is not the most comfortable and the sink is quite small but considering it’s a hostel for a lower price, it’s pretty decent

Clean, great central location and excellent service

Staff is friendly, spoke English. Rooms clean. Walls are thin. Curtains let in a lot of light.
