Seoul Inns

First off, I need to vent and complain! When I booked, there were options like 'basement room' and 'superior room.' To ensure my child was comfortable, I specifically booked a 'superior room with a window'! To my shock, the 'superior room' was on the basement level, had no window, and was in the farthest corner. I desperately wanted to pay more to switch, but they only had one other room left, and it was even worse. I had no choice but to make do. But the nightmare continued: all night long, there was the constant sound of an elevator, which scared my child to sleep, and I didn't get a wink of sleep myself! The main issue is that the hotel's advertisement *didn't mention it was in the basement* and specifically highlighted 'with a window.' This false advertising completely misled us. When my child and I booked on Trip.com, we requested a room with a good view, quiet, and not in the farthest corner! This room was in the basement, windowless, had elevator noise, and was in the very last corner—I was terrified! If there wasn't a suitable room, the hotel could have informed me in advance, but I received no notification or communication. The hotel's ad looked great, but it was truly dreadful! I wanted to mention some other good points, but I spent a lot of money only to end up in a basement room! I'm so upset! Oh, and even though the bathroom was large, the shower drain was clogged. The water went above my ankles when I showered, and it still hadn't dried completely by the next morning. It really shows you can't just trust the ads!

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! 🫶🏻

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.

The location is very convenient, about a 5-minute walk from the subway and bus stations. The room isn't huge but is well-laid out, clean, and the bedding is comfortable. The front desk staff were very friendly and check-in was quick. Overall, it offers great value for money, and I would consider staying here again next time I visit [city].

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.
