Korea Local Information Center

Location is great if you want to walk around and access public transport Lots of food and stuff around The rooms are large and well set up although a bit worn The gym is completely useless but there are plenty of gyms with day pass around

It is a nice hotel to stay in the middle of the Seoul metropolis , but the sign boards provided are not big and eye catching. On the first day, when i arrived in the night , i found it difficult to locate the hotel, eventhough, i was on that lane. Brightly lit, big colourful sign board will make it easy to locate by the guests. Also the name hostel lowers the standard of this hotel. If the name was " 57 Meongdong Hotel" , it will attract more guests and guests would have a satisfaction, that they are going to a hotel rather than a hostel. Otherwise, everything was fine . I will stay there , if i visit Seoul again.

The room itself was pretty clean, only complaint is that there isn’t much space for luggage or anything. Bathrooms were QUITE messy most of the time, but this is more the fault of other guests. Great location, very easy to locate. Didn’t try the provided breakfast as the common area gets quite busy. The staff were helpful when needed. The laundry situation can be quite annoying… there’s like 6 tiny washers that fit nothing, 2 large ones which the staff also use i believe, and only 2 dryers entirely. Guests can be inconsiderate leaving their things in the laundry past the time it’s finished.
