Great location as it's close to the public transport and a walking distance to many landmarks and the restaurants. The room had an amazing view and overall was on the modern side (as the whole hotel) with enough space in both bathroom and the room itself. Oe of the best accommodations I've stayed in South Korea, so definitely a place to become a regular one.

A 3* hotel that is better than some 5* ones, it does feel like a luxury hotel! Great location, nice room with a bathtub and shower, super comfortable bed, wonderful helpful staff, lots of places to eat and shop nearby. Bus stop and metro just a couple minutes walk. We also really enjoyed the movie theme. And the minibar is free of charge and refilled every day.

Sleep Box is a hidden gem in the middle of Myeong-dong! You’re steps away from all the shopping, food, and nightlife, but the excellent soundproofing makes it wonderfully quiet and restful inside. Everything is spotless, and the staff go above and beyond with their warmth and helpfulness. I loved it so much, I couldn’t help but extend my stay—already looking forward to coming back!

The location is fantastic, especially for the food markets and the Korean cosmetic shops. Walking distance to buses and train. The room was a family one and it was plenty big enough with everything you need.

I’ve stayed at many hostels during my travels, but this one in Seoul stands out as truly exceptional. It’s a brand-new space, and you can tell the owners have put so much care into making it perfect for guests. The layout of the building is incredibly cool and functional, with separate shower and bathroom facilities that are not only spotless but thoughtfully designed something you rarely find in hostels. The location is ideal, close to all the action but in a quiet area that allows for a good night’s sleep. What truly makes this place special, though, are the owners. They are some of the kindest and most welcoming people I’ve met, always ready to help and make your stay feel like home. Their passion for hospitality shines through in every detail, from the cleanliness to the warm atmosphere they create. If you’re visiting Seoul, I can’t recommend this hostel enough. It’s hands down the best place I’ve stayed—comfortable, clean, and run by people who genuinely care about your experience. This place deserves all the success in the world, and I’ll definitely be back on my next visit to Seoul!

    It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

    Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.

    This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
