Find 2-Star Hotels in Seoul

The hotel is located right in the heart of Myeongdong, very close to Euljiro subway station. With many restaurants nearby, the location is incredibly convenient. I arrived at the hotel around 11 PM on my check-in day, so I went up to the 3rd floor via the elevator and found a card key with my name on it at the counter. I believe if I had gone to the counter the next day, they would have told me my room number, but I was short on time and just continued using the card key, which wasn't inconvenient at all. The room didn't have enough space to fully open a large suitcase without blocking the aisle, but since I was traveling alone, it wasn't a major issue. The mirror and light were very handy for doing makeup. The sink, shower, and toilet were all in one area, but it was clean and easy to use. The water pressure in the shower was also good. I could catch a glimpse of the Myeongdong cityscape from the window. There were plenty of outlets, so as long as you have a plug adapter and a voltage converter, you should be fine. Towels were provided in the room, and extra ones were available in the hallway, which I found to be a thoughtful touch. Although it was a non-smoking room, there was a smoking area very close to the hotel, which made it tolerable. I would definitely consider staying here again for a solo trip! Thank you.

Oh my goodness! I was so lucky to choose this hostel. I originally booked a room with two single beds and a private bathroom, but the front desk upgraded me directly to a triple room with one queen bed and one single bed – it was fantastic! It was also very close to the elevator, and there's a luggage scale available in the hallway. Downstairs, there's a huge Olive Young (pharmacy/beauty store), right in the heart of Myeongdong. Across the street, there's a convenience store and the delicious Sinseon Seolleongtang, so everything you need is super convenient. The hostel offers a simple breakfast; personally, I didn't find it particularly delicious, but it was acceptable. You have to wash your own dishes after eating, and the hygiene conditions are excellent. The front desk service was also very enthusiastic and spoke English. I recommend booking two months in advance for more choices and better prices.

Excellent! I'll definitely stay here again next time! The bedding was very comfortable and it was quiet. There was a small hiccup though: there was a black trash bag outside our room door when we checked in, probably left by the previous guest, and it was still there when we checked out. 🥲 You can take bus 6016 to Seocho 3-dong station, which is very convenient and close to the Southern Bus Terminal.

The location is very nice. You can easily walk to Myeongdong, Namsan Tower, and many restaurants, and transportation is convenient. The staff were very kind and helpful. However, it’s difficult for me to say this was a good stay overall. Here are the reasons why: • Elevator – The elevator is only for luggage, not for guests. This should be clearly stated before booking. As in here it’s show as the property has an elevator without explaining that it is a cargo elevator, it is misleading. • Security – The room password was simply the room number with an additional “1” added to it. I didn’t leave valuables in the room, so I wasn’t too worried, but it still felt like a weak security system. • Room Door – There is no additional lock on the inside of the room. While the digital lock can be activated, I never felt completely confident that the door was fully secured. • Soft Opening Without Notice – When I booked, there was no mention that the property was still in a soft-opening stage. I expected the hotel to be fully operational. Instead, there were unfinished areas, items left around the property, and staff frequently entering rooms after check-in to inspect or photograph things without being asked. Had I known the hotel was not fully ready, I would have considered other options before booking. • Poor Room Layout – My room was 405, located at the end of the hallway. The neighboring room (404) had a door positioned in a way that it would hit my door whenever opened carelessly. During my four-night stay, the guests next door banged their door into mine repeatedly. Eventually, at around 1 a.m. one night, I had to contact the staff and ask them to address the issue. • Cleanliness Concerns – The property appears to use the same type of towel for everything. When I asked about a bathroom mat, I was told to use a towel instead. This gave me the impression that the towels were being used for multiple purposes, including drying floors. On top of that, the towels shed lint and left fibers on my skin after use. • Very Small Bathroom – Please be aware that the bathroom is extremely small. The shower is positioned directly over the toilet, and there is barely enough room to stand while showering. In practice, you almost need to sit on the toilet to shower comfortably. After two nights, I seriously considered moving to another hotel. The only reason I stayed was because my mother didn’t want to move all of our belongings again. To be fair, one of the staff members (possibly the owner) sincerely apologized and explained that they were trying their best. I do believe they genuinely care and are making an effort. However, there is still a long way to go before this property is ready to provide a comfortable hotel experience.

We stayed at this hotel from August 10th to 17th. Location-wise, it's a 50-minute commute to the city center. Check-in is done via a machine, so don't expect a smiling face or a warm welcome wishing you a pleasant stay. Not a huge deal, though. The room isn't cleaned during your stay, as the owner (an elderly gentleman) informed us. However, towels were changed twice, and toiletries were replenished. The bed was quite firm, which wasn't ideal after long walks until midnight, but it only bothered us for the first 15 minutes before we'd drift into a deep sleep. The air conditioning works well, and so does the extractor fan. The panoramic windows really add to the hotel's appeal. Overall, I'd give it 2 stars, which is what it's rated.

I had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the dedicated female area requires a secure code to enter, which made me feel very safe as a solo woman.However, the room comfort was quite poor. I was assigned a top bunk bed, and the room was incredibly hot because the air conditioning had been turned off.The bathroom facilities are located outside of the room and consist of a universal toilet. While the shower itself was okay, the towel provided was tiny and looked like it had already been used.While the security for women is great, the hot room and poor linen quality mean I would likely look elsewhere next time.

It was nice that they let us take one drink per person, and the room was spacious and clean, which was nice😍 The staff were all very friendly! It was such a great experience that my Japanese friend said he wanted to stay here again when he comes to Korea❤️ I'm glad you made good memories.

I had a good stay overall. We booked a room for two people, and it was a good size for us. The room was about 3.5/5 for cleanliness—generally clean, but there was still some room for improvement. The hotel offers free breakfast, which was a nice bonus. Everything is self-service, including check-in and breakfast. We never met any staff because we spent most of the day exploring Seoul, but the self-check-in process was smooth and convenient. Overall, I think it was worth the money and a good choice for budget travelers. If you’re coming from Seoul Station, I recommend taking the subway rather than the bus—it’s the easiest and most convenient way to get to the hotel.

Stayed here again. It's close to Gangnam, and this time, this place was the cheapest. **Facilities:** They provide a free water dispenser with both hot and cold water, and a kitchen where you can cook. The hot water and air conditioning both work great. However, the bed rails felt a bit flimsy and wobbly. **Cleanliness:** Clean. **Environment:** It's comfortable when there aren't many people, but it gets very crowded when full... the space is just too small. **Service:** Average.

Great location, with several good restaurants nearby. The room was good value for the price. Myeongdong isn't much cleaner, and this place was a really good deal. They even provided disposable toiletries. Overall, I think it's a good place, especially considering how cheap it was.
