Philstay Myeongdong Boutique Female Reviews

I love this hostel for its breakfast and convenient location near Seoul Station, where you can take the AREX from the airport. The WiFi is excellent, and it’s close to Namsan and Myeongdong shopping street. During winter, the lobby and dorm rooms can get very cold, so be sure to ask the staff for an electric heating pad. I really enjoyed my stay. Some guests mentioned noise, but I used earplugs and a sleep mask and had no trouble sleeping through the night. My bed was near the door, which beeped whenever someone opened or closed it, but it wasn’t a big issue for me.

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.

My stay was quite comfortable, it was close enough to all the sights I wanted to see and the clinic where I had my face treatment. We could just walk, shopping and food streets was very close. I will definitely stay there again.

This is my second gimestauing here because it is so convenient. There's an airplane bus stop nearby and a subway. Its also walking distance to the best part of myeongdong. The staff are really friendly as well. The con is there is no elevator but one of the staff helped me bring my stuff up the stairs. I genuinely really like thos hostel

The location was great but the rooms were messy when I got there. The top bunk bed is incredibly high so it’s easy to get hurt. The breakfast is a nice touch though.

It was my first time staying in hostel. I was very impressed.

I only stayed for 1 night as I was just passing through on my way to Busan. But the rooms were clean, the bed was very comfy and the bathroom area was clean and convenient. I didn’t really see a nice common area though so I’m wondering how the experience would be if I’d stay for a longer period of time.

Staffs are very kind and friendly. When i first arrived at the hostel, bumped into the owner and he helped me to carry my luggage as the hostel is on 2nd floor and there’s no lift. I had issue with my luggage and they were nice to help me to resolve it. Location wise is good as it’s very near to subway station and bus stop too. Other guests were respectful as well as everyone followed the hostel’s rules.

Convenient & comfortable place to stay! Staffs are friendly too~ Very near Myeongdong subway & shopping district!

Great location, have 24 hours restaurnat and convenient store near it. Staff are nice and rooms and bathroom are clean. Will stay here again!

SCAMMER!!!!. I HAVEN'T STAY THIS HOTEL. I HAD CALLED THE OPERATOR BUT GAVE SUCH WRONG INFORMATION AND LET ME WAITING SO LONG LET MY CALL UNANSWERED. THE BUILDING UNDER RENOVATION.

I'm skeptical at first because the location is a bit off outside, but this is one of the best hostel i've tried on my travels. Location is amazing , very very near the subway just go through under ground mall and you will reach myeongdong night market. Namdaemun is also just by walking. Privacy still there because of the useful blind rolls. Worth every Penny. I recommend it to all the women traveling to Korea 🫶🏽🇰🇷✨

Great location, on the side street just before McD’s, exit 4 Myeongdong station. Walkable distance to some of the main tourist attractions. There are no elevators so fyi if you have heavy luggage. I booked the four bed dorm but found the room too small for my big suitcase so I ended up staying at a different hotel. Place was clean and the staff were friendly. Towels and non-disposable slippers were provided. Bed was spacious and had its own curtain for privacy.

I love it there! I stayed there my first 4 nights in Seoul and came back to my last night in Korea before my flight , the place is clean , all girls who stay there are kind and everyone is very respectful about silent hours , breakfast is ok , for me it was a very good experience and felt very safe during my stay
