Find Top Inns in Seoul

I stayed here for two nights and honestly, if I hadn’t already had festival tickets, I probably would have stayed longer. The location is great, right in the middle of Gangnam’s business district, but it’s still really quiet at night. I had a single room and the size was perfect for me. There was enough space under the desk and the bed for both of my suitcases, so it never felt too small. Everything is very new and super clean, and they really provide almost everything you could need. There’s a washing machine and dryer, and in the room you have a fridge, hairdryer, slippers, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. They also provide a toothbrush, toothpaste and even a razor if you need one. The kitchen has cooking utensils, cereal, water, juice, tea and a coffee machine. The Wi-Fi was also incredibly fast, probably the fastest I’ve ever had in a hostel. I also really liked the different lighting options in the room. There’s a good light by the mirror for make-up, softer lighting behind the bed and normal ceiling lights. It sounds like a small thing, but it’s one of those details that makes the room feel well thought out. That’s probably what I liked most about the place in general: you can tell that someone actually thought about the details. There are power outlets everywhere you need them, everything is explained clearly in Korean and English, and the automatic check-in and check-out were really easy. They’ve also put a lot of care into the design and the little details. Although it’s a small place, that might somehow be exactly what you need in such a huge city – it gives you a little sense of home. Everyone was also really nice and helpful, from the owners to the staff cleaning the rooms. I’d definitely stay here again.

Great value for money! The room was spacious and clean, and the location was very convenient. The only downsides were that the room wasn't cleaned daily and the complimentary toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste) weren't replenished enough. Other than that, everything was excellent.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Stay in the Heart of Myeongdong! Our stay at U-STAY Myeongdong was fantastic from start to finish. The biggest highlight is the unbeatable location. Situated right in the heart of Myeongdong, you’re just steps away from endless shopping, incredible restaurants, street food vendors, convenience stores, and the subway station, making it easy to explore all of Seoul. Whether you’re visiting for sightseeing, food, or shopping, you couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay after long days of exploring the city. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and always willing to help with recommendations or any questions we had. One of my favorite touches was the complimentary noodle bar. After spending the day walking around Seoul, being able to enjoy a free late-night bowl of ramen along with coffee and other refreshments was such a thoughtful amenity that made the hotel feel even more welcoming. It’s a small feature that really sets U-STAY apart from many other hotels. If you’re looking for an affordable, clean, and conveniently located hotel with excellent hospitality and thoughtful extras, I highly recommend U-STAY Myeongdong. I would absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Seoul! ✨

Check-in was super easy and straightforward. The room was really clean and had everything I needed, including a washing machine. There's even a convenience store downstairs that sells single-use laundry pods. They also provide clear instructions on how to sort trash, which was helpful. I'd definitely recommend staying here for first-timers in Seoul! It's incredibly convenient to get around by bus, and the subway station is just a five-minute walk away. Plus, there's a convenience store right nearby! Highly recommend, I'd stay here again! 🫶🏻

We got a room where we couldn’t sleep properly because of the condensation drops falling onto pipes right outside our window, which was located in like 30cm from our heads laying on thin pillows. Also we didn’t have cold water inside the room, somehow. Only hot and really really warm ones, it was impossible to get a cold water in there. There was only one bath towel for 2 people. We asked the stuff to change our room and they kindly did that. Pillows there were a little bit better, and happily there were no noises at all, although we got only one bath towel for two once again. After the rain, it started to smell horrible because of the sewer drain, which was located near the bathtub developed inside the room (with no doors or anything else). We had left our room after noon for like 2-3 hours, after coming back we found out that no one came for housekeeping services (we supposed that stuff might do that and hence left room clean and tidy without any mess with our luggage). There hadn’t been any tags for DND to use and make it clear that room doesn’t need to be cleaned, so we thought no one’s gonna come today. We left once again approximately at 6pm and got back at 11:30pm. Surprisingly, for some reason someone came and brought 2 clean towels, and they did nothing but that. So I’m not sure whether they wanted to clean the room or not, because we left all our stuff and suitcases opened thinking no one’s gonna come in. Maybe they just wanted to bring the towels, but I simply don’t get it why I don’t have an option to mark my room with DND tag. Location is splendid though 👍🏻

The hotel's location is excellent, making it easy to catch the subway and bus as it's quite close to both stations. There are restaurants and various shops right outside the hotel, which is super convenient. Within walking distance, you'll find stores like Daiso, Olive Young, Shinsegae, Starbucks, Ediya, and many, many restaurants and snack stalls. Myeongdong Night Market and the underground shopping mall are also nearby. The hotel staff are all great, and the breakfast is good too. Freshly brewed coffee, instant coffee, and tea bags are always available. Sipping tea in the dining area feels just like home. What I loved most is the daily laundry service; the small washing machine is incredibly handy, and they even provide drying racks, which is just too convenient. If I come back to Seoul, this will be my first choice.

1. The environment is excellent! Other than the room being a bit small and the bed being a bit small, there are no flaws; it's very clean. 2. You can search for ANEUK Hotel on Naver Maps (searching for 'annk' won't work). 3. The lobby on the first floor offers self-service ice, a hot water dispenser, a coffee bar, and disposable tableware, all free of charge! This is fantastic. However, you'll need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. 4. Although it's not super close to the city center, the subway is quite convenient. There's a bus stop about 50 meters away that goes to many places. It's relatively close to Hongdae; just a bus ride across the river. 5. Downstairs, there are tons of shops, the kind locals frequent. Eating grilled beef intestines with beer is incredibly satisfying. Plus, ordering takeout is very convenient.

Pretty good. The location is convenient, whether you're walking or taking public transport. The hygiene was excellent, and the self-check-in was quick. If you're worried about arriving after 11 PM, you can email them beforehand, and you'll be able to check in directly when you arrive.

Read all the way. When we first arrived, we were not prepared for the location. We came on the night trash goes out the next day. There was trash everywhere on the street and we stayed in a back alley hotel that (at night) looked sketchy as heck. When we got into the lobby, Lee greeted us with the biggest smile and warmth and brought my concern level down. When we asked for universal adapters, he gladly gave us a few. When we asked for more blankets, they hand delivered to the room. Every day they gave us free bottled water, and the hotel has 2 different floors with public bathrooms, so families traveling together can always have a place to 💩. The hotel has an attached bar that serves food, we enjoyed this as well. Drinks were cheap and good. The location was less than a 1 minute walk to the bus and train station. The best pizza place in the city is around the corner ”Records Pizza”. A must go too, we stuck to plain and pepperoni pizza, their specials are an acquired taste. The hotel is full of unique touches everywhere and exploring it was fun. You can people watch from the balcony on the 2nd floor and soak in the night life on nights you don't feel like going back out. After that first night arriving, we felt safe and at home. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The location is the best selling point, located right in front of Seoul Station Exit 10 (there's a short flight of stairs to exit the station). Hotel is equipped with an elevator. Room size is perfect for solo travellers that will be out all day and only need a place to sleep and shower. However, room space might be an issue if you have big luggages (I only had carry on luggage with me). The walls are a bit thin so I can hear the guests from the next room talking and switching off their lights, however I can't really fault it at the price that it is. Will definitely consider rebooking if im solo travelling in Seoul again.
