Sleep Box is truly the best place to stay in Seoul. Located right in the heart of Myeong-dong, it’s affordable, immaculately clean, quiet, and central to everything you need. I’ve visited Seoul five times and stayed in many hotels and hostels—none compare to this one. What makes it even more special is that it’s a family-run business, and the family is incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating. If you’re coming to Seoul, you’ll definitely enjoy your stay here.

    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.
