In a short 7 min walk you arrive at the myeondong shopping street or at a subway station. Good variety of konbinis and Korean food around too. I loved the Korean style doors and overall vibes, it was really nice to feel like you're in Korea, not just outside but inside as well! Small personal touch was highly appreciated as well: entering my room for the first time there was a cute note with my name on the bed to welcome me!

None at all.

We enjoyed our stay here. It is somehow close to public transportation, lots of restaurants to try nearby. Glad we found New Stay Inn. Also, the staffs are friendly. :)

The beds have a plastic liner which can sometimes feel hard but it wasn't too bad.

Staff were very helpful and Hara kept in touch in case we needed anything. Location is good near 3 metro lines and above a store with others around. Less than 10 minute walk to Myeong-dong main street. Shower was a wet room so careful putting things in there and keeping them dry. WIFI was very fast. We were given a little parting souvenir which was a lovely touch.

Our room had poor airflow. Pretty much anytime we walked in there was a bad smell and it felt stuffy. But once we turned the Aircon on it went away. Like most places in Korea the bathroom is a wet room as there's not a shower curtain or anything the water would go everywhere. If there was a mop or something it would have helped with clean up but there wasn't. Also in the room instructions it said that a room cleaning service only happens for guests staying more than 4 days (we were only staying 3) but when we returned to our room after day 2 we found it had been cleaned and some empty bottles and a bag we had been saving were thrown away.

The support given by the hotel staff was really top notch. Every message to us was in very well spoken English, there was great instructions with pictures inside the room itself. The TV was already set up in English. It was extremely helpful for us. The property is in a good and well-placed location. There's Chungmuro and Myeongdong subway Station both within a 5-8 minute walk. There's a convenience store on the bottom floor of the building. There's lots of restaurants and coffee shops galore nearby. Included shampoo and body, pretty good value for money.

Great Location

In a really good location, staff were friendly and there’s a convenience store on level 1 which was a plus! However the walls are very thin and we had some noisy neighbours for part of the stay, and there was mould in the bathrooms. Overall a good stay tho :) thank you

Since the room is small, it was a bit stuffy at times, but nothing that couldn't be solved by opening the small window. The window overlooks another building that is very close (you can touch it with your hand). The rooms are not cleaned every day, so you are responsible for the cleanliness of your room.

Excellent location, very friendly staff from the first contact, to information on how to get to the accommodation, and to the very end. The rooms are a bit smaller, we didn't have any view, but that didn't diminish our satisfaction with the accommodation. The location is really great and we could visit a lot on foot (Insadong, Cheonggyecheon Stream, Namsangol Hanok Village, Namsan Tower). Guests can have free coffee, and for a certain fee you can use the washing machine and dryer (which was very convenient).

First day was a shambles. Mess everywhere in the hallways, constant very loud drilling noise, until 640pm (had to ask them to stop, but am grateful that they did when I explained how awful it was going all day and then into the night). I do wonder when they would have stopped without being asked. Bathroom was clean but lots of black mould in corners, and up the walls behind the silicon is pretty gross to see)

Location. Lovely manager. Convenience store in same building. After first day, very peaceful and hallways were clear and tidy.

We booked a room for four (we basically got two double bunk beds) which is fine but the rooms themselves are smaller than we had hoped. With our luggage and shopping it was pretty cramped at times but it's an hostel so I guess it's not really to blame. We were told towels are provided which is true but they're quite small so probably pack a big one for your showers. The bathroom was probably the thing I didn't like most though unfortunately. It seemed like there was black mold in there and there's no hand wash provided but there is shampoo and shower gel which is always welcome!

The reception area was lovely, there's a microwave and a coffee machine which also dispenses hot water so you can enjoy your convenience store meals with ease (there's a GS25 on the ground floor). There is also cold water dispensers, cups for the coffee and water, towels, toilet paper, plastic bin bags which you can use for your room. The staff are really friendly and pretty chill people which is always a plus. Customer service was solid. The wifi is also super fast which is standard with Seoul!. The location is very good, you're close to all the markets, restaurants and subway stations to get to all the other areas you'd want to go to. just make sure to get a t money card from the gs25 or any other convenience store and a climate card from one of the nearby subway stations for the unlimited travel - It's about 20k KRW for 7 days. (myeong dong, euljiro sam ga or chungmuro should have the climate card).

The bed was incredibly hard so that took some getting used to, and the air con unit made a lot of noise. I could only seem to switch it off by taking the room key out of the thing that let you switch on lights etc but even then it was still quite noisy. General smell in the building of damp but it was no issue for a few days’ stay.

A clean room with private bathroom. I was a little concerned on arrival with how small it was and it was a bit more basic than I had expected based on previous reviews and photos, but it was a fantastic location and in the end I liked the little room. Even the wet room style bathroom which worried me was fine and dried quickly. Great tv options including easy to use own streaming accounts. Good hairdryer, soaps provided, fridge, space to hang clothes and international universal chargers too - very handy. Only met some cleaning staff in passing - they were lovely.

The room was smaller than what we are used to but it was very comfortable and clean

The location of this place was great. Very easy to access public transport. Huge plus point bc this place has an elevator!

The walls aren't very thick. Some other guests who were staying on my floor were being really loud at night (clearly having a party), I messaged the reception who dealt with the matter and made the group quieten down. But I would recommend cracking down on ensuring people are being respectful at night, but still grateful the staff dealt with the issue when I messaged.

The location is very easy to get to from the airport and main train station. Many interesting areas nearby that are in walking distance, the subway is nearby for when you want to go elsewhere in the city. Staff are very welcoming and respond to messages quickly. The room is clean and for a solo traveler, the size cannot be complained about.

They provided a hand towel only though you can take extra from reception.

It is about 15min walk to myeongdong street. About 10min walk to chungmuro station. There is a convenience store at the bottom floor of the building. There is a microwave in the reception.

For 4 days there was no cleaning of the rooms or change of towels. Very small room and uncomfortable shower, which is located next to the toilet.

Great location, easy access to all attractions. Clean rooms and bed linen. Possibility to use a washing machine. Friendly staff.

It's really easy to hear outside the rooms (the do give free earplugs to help). The rooms are very small.

The location is great! So close to Chungmuro and Myeongdong station. Staff was helpful. They kept in touch easily with booking messager. They sent a helpful video of how to find the place. It's a good budget hotel to stay in, if you plan on spending most time exploring the city.

The room was not very soundproof.

Self-check-in and convenient location. Any questions are answered promptly and kindly.
