Super central to food and shopping as well as near public transport for sightseeing. The room was very comfortable with luxury amenities like Dyson hair dryer, bidet, big shower and tub. Free drinks in the minibar, Nespresso machine with not just 1 but 4 capsules for 1 night stay. Layout is great also with a cozy mini 1 seater chair nook area that was extremely cozy. Amazing service by a staff named Carol at front desk who catered to our very need. Also cool movie theme!

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!

I had a perfect stay! Cozy hostel with extremely friendly and helpful staff just 1 - 2 min walk from Dongdaemun metro station. The soundproofing and bathroom drainage are the only minor problems I found. I didn’t take any photos of the hostel—just a photo of the air conditioner remote. lol.

Amazing place! It's clean, calm and functional. The guys managing are very cool people, and sociable. Some over guests and myself got even treated with a bunch of local alcohol. The kitchen/common place makes socialisation very easy, so very good for solo travelers. That's exactly how a hostel should look like. I'm super happy about my stay there. Also the location is super good, with a metro entrance downstairs. If like me you take 2h to look at every option, you can stop here, that's the place.

    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.
