3rd stay at The Road. Really appreciate the washing machine & dryer. When taking the bus it is better set to/from at Namsan Tunnel 3 instead of Myeongdong Station exit 4.
Response from Property: Thank you so much for choosing The Road for the third time! We truly appreciate your continued support and trust in us. We're happy to hear that the washing machine and dryer have been helpful during your stay — we know how important those little conveniences can be when traveling.Also, thank you for the helpful tip regarding the bus stop! Your advice about using Namsan Tunnel 3 instead of Myeongdong Station Exit 4 is valuable, and we’re sure future guests will find it very useful.We look forward to welcoming you back again on your next visit!

The location is really fantastic. U need not to carry yr shopping bags for long because the hotel is just nearby. It is just located in Myeongdong. Get off at Myeongdong station at gate 4 and walk for 5 minutes then is the hotel. Everything in the hotel is self-served but it doesn't matter. U need not get any help since everything is provided as u see. Especially the pantry is so eye catching. U can wash yr clothes and hv tea or coffee anytime u do.
Response from Property: Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the location and found it convenient. Being just a short walk from Myeongdong Station makes it easy to explore the area without having to carry heavy shopping bags. We're also glad you liked the self-service amenities, especially the shared space where you can relax with a drink or do some laundry anytime. We always strive to make our guests' stays as comfortable and convenient as possible, and your kind words motivate us to keep improving. We’d love to welcome you back again soon

The self-check in was simple enough. Location is walking distance to Myeongdong shopping. However, sorry to say that the room did not feel clean. There were odd smells coming into the room, and it was very noisy at night.
Response from Property: Hello. Thank you so much for visiting our hostel. I'm so sorry to hear that you had any inconvenience during your stay at our hostel. I try to keep the cleaning as clean as possible every day. I will try to pay more attention to cleanliness. And I think it was a little noisy because there were group guests. I'm so sorry. I will try to be more satisfied if you visit again next time. Thank you.

The hotel was in a good location near Myeongdong market. The services were non existent and you had to change your own trash and pick up your own towels. Not too bad, but not what was expected.
Response from Property: Hello. Thank you so much for visiting The Road Hostel. I hope you had a comfortable time at our hostel. We will become a hostel that develops further based on your feedback. If you visit next time, we will try to make you more comfortable without any other inconvenience. Thank you.

The hotel was really reasonable price and close to the station and a convenience store .However tourists staying there were really noisy and talked outside the rooms until 3 am and I could not sleep.
There were free ear plugs at the entrance of the hotel , so I guess such noise is common there…
Response from Property: Hello. Thank you so much for visiting our The Road Hostel. First of all, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. We are trying to keep quiet after 12 o'clock. And the ear plugs at the front desk are provided for sensitive people. Usually, it's not too loud. I think it was a little noisy because there were group guests. If you visit again next time, I will try my best to stay comfortable without any inconvenience. Thank you.

Good for solo travellers. The netflix in the room was a huge plus. Water dispenser in the common area was convenient. Do not have to constantly buy bottles of water. However, i stayed for two weeks. Would be nice if there was an option to clean the room and change the sheets once a week.
Response from Property: Hi, thank you so much for visiting our hostel.If you asked me, I would have cleaned your roomI'm so sorry I couldn't care for you first.If you visit again next time, I will try to make it more comfortable.Thank you again. Have a nice day :-)

It's within walking distance from Myeongdong.
The location is near Namdaemun Market, so it's also close to the currency exchange in front of the embassy, which is rumored to have good exchange rates.
There's also a convenience store very close by, which was very convenient! I was able to buy a weather trend card there, which I used throughout my trip.
The walls were thin, as the reviews said, but there was a kitchen on the third floor, so I was glad I could cook my own meals!
Check-in and check-out were done by machine! There was also Japanese writing, which was convenient.
You could replace the towels with the ones at the entrance and use as many as you wanted.
It was a little small, but sufficient for an overnight stay.
For two people for three nights, the cost was 13,585 yen per person! ☺︎

I liked the hotel. Convenient location. Nearby shopping area, metro, TV tower.
The room is very small, but has everything you need. Upstairs there is a shared kitchen with washing and drying machines, iron, kitchen utensils. There was a coffee maker, rice cooker, stove, waffle iron, shared refrigerator... etc.
Good water pressure. Self-check-in.

I stayed here for 5 nights on a trip with friends. It was a 10-minute walk from Myeongdong Station, so it was quite accessible. The room was okay, and there were no amenities such as pajamas or toothpaste. You have to pick up towels and toilet paper at the front desk yourself. The walls were quite thin, so we were unlucky because the room next door was very noisy from late at night to the early morning when we stayed there. (Earplugs are available at the front desk.) The location is good, so it's fine for those who just want to sleep.

It was very good because it was close to Myeongdong Station and the room was clean! I have visited Korea many times, but even if it was my first time in Korea, I think it was good because the hotel was in a good location and the price was cheap! Check-in was easy, and the room was small! I recommend using it for traveling with friends. It seemed unmanned, but I saw some hotel staff, so there was someone to ask if I needed anything! I actually wanted to ask for the pedals, so I asked for the address, and they were kind!

Excellent hotel!! Clean everywhere, has everything you need for your stay. There was always feedback. Convenient contactless check-in. Many interesting places are close to the hotel, so transport was not always needed.
