Initially I thought the location was kind of scary for women who were travelling alone but that’s not the case. It’s in the back of the busy street there were no noise at all at night. I felt very safe in the area. The staff were amazing, for the price, they do so much more than the pricey places. Each floor had their own kitchen and laundry (no dryer, I hanged my laundry in my room 😂), I had a lovely view of Namsan Tower from our kitchen. Will come back again

The place was a bit hard to find but the location is really good as it is in the middle of the shops and restaurants in Myeongdong. The place was clean though small, it is good for 2 people only. The staffs were really accomodating and generous. They let us borrow their adaptors for free and let us stay in the pantry after check-out. This place is really good especially with its budget friendly price.

Wasn’t too happy about my stay here. Only good thing was the location. First I check in which is on the second floor. Received a code which is the same for floors 3-5. Once you get to your floor by elevator or stairs, there’s cupboards where they ask you to put your shoes in but they do not lock. There is a electronic lock system attached to the door where you enter the code provided. My floor wasn’t locked during my 2 days I was there for some strange reason. I went downstairs to ask if there’s a phone I can use as I didn’t want to get charged long distance. One receptionist was a little helpful but didn’t give me a phone to use. Instead she typed the number on my phone. Pretty sure I got charged long distance. I came back down to ask another question but she had left for home and so I had another employee at the desk. I asked if he spoke english and he replied “No, I’m Korean” and giggled and continued doing whatever he was doing on his computer. I didn’t feel like he wanted to even try to help. Overall, I would not recommend this place. You definitely get what you pay for.

The beds are too small and very hard and discomforting. The rooms are shoe boxes. You cannot move around. The bathrooms are so small that the shower wets the entire toilet. Breakfast is bare minimal. Only cereal. Biggest issue was quality of bed mattress. It gave us pain to sleep on those. Not enough electrical outlets. You cannot charge you phones etc. Towels were 1 feet by 1 feet. More like hand size towel.

Convenient Area
This hotel is in an amazing area, and I spent hours walking around Myeongdong eating street food and looking at all of the shops. It is also close to a Seoul Metro station, so you can easily get around the city. It can be a little hard to find, as it is down an alleyway, and while the room is small is it very nice!

The single room i stayed in was better than what it should have been for. With the great location, literally in the biggest shopping district and home to the greatest street food, it is what any tourist could ask for. Receptionist was also nice and can speak English. There's also room cleaning service on request which is really convenient. Although it took me a while to find the place, once you mark "Royal Hotel" which is right next door, it will be simple. There are also two convenient train lines in either directions. Although the room I stayed had no heating aircon (just cold) the floor was heated which was enough to stay warm.

Excellent Location for shopping and dining.
Hotel is easily located with clear direction by hotel staff. Some restaurants are still open when we arrived after 12 midnight. Nice and helpful staff and even the cleaning lady is enthusiastic to offer help. We lived in a 4~person room with 2 double ~deck beds. The ceiling is so low that sleeping on the upper deck is a pain when you want to sit straight. However, the room size is good enough for us with 2 big suitcases etc. The toilet is small with the shower together. The toilet is all wet after shower and no space to keep changing clothes. Water is leaked outside as the door is not tightly closed. In view of the price and location, I consider this a good choice.
Thank you for staying K-POP residence Myeong-dong1. I hope to see you again:) Thank you!

Very helpful hosts and conveniently located
We arrived at K-Pop Residence ahead of the check-in time, the ladies at the reception have been very helpful and kind by offering us a room immediately. They have explained the "guest rules" clearly hence we know exactly what we are expect in regards to housekeeping, changing of bedsheets and towels as well as check-out time. All is fair and square. The room is roomy as compare to the other Goodstay hotels we used to stay. Our stay just went without incident. On the day we check out, since our flight is in the late evening, our hosts have offered to keep our luggages at the counter so that we can still roam around the city for a few more hours before heading off to the airport without charge which is much appreciated. Will stay again during our next visit.

MAKE SURE NOT TO LEAVE ANYTHING BEHIND!!!
Hotel was ok. Just a place to stay for the night. OK location, near the Myeongdong station. Bathroom was only separated by a glass divider and not a proper door. You have to leave your shoes before you go to the area where the rooms are (which is kind of a hassle). We stayed for 6 days and asked for housekeeping in the middle of our stay but they only changed the soaps, gave a new roll of tissue. They also took out the trash but did not do a good job of doing so because there was still trash left on the floor. DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING BEHIND BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT RETURN IT TO YOU!!!! We did late checkout and as we were about to check out, the housekeeping ahjumma was also about to enter the room. After getting done with check out (took us about 5 minutes only), I realized I left something in the room. It was a box of a souvenir and a box of brownies. I asked the ahjumma cleaning the room but she said that I did not leave anything. I rummaged through her trash bag (outside the room) and saw the box of the souvenir (one side was torn apart already) but not the brownies. It turned out that she was eating it already inside the room while I was rummaging outside. Discussed this with front desk but they just said that it was a mistake because guests leave boxes like those all the time. They did apologize for it though.

The economic twin room that I booked is slightly larger than I expected. Haha. It is just enough for my sister and I. With that price which is comparable to dorm for two persons, we can get a room and small private bathroom, and furthermore it is located at the heart of myeongdong. I really felt lucky, especially it was during winter when I stayed there. The girl in the front desk is also very helpful, even though I requested for late check-in last minute, she purposely stayed back to wait for me. In one word, I am very satisfied! I would recommend it to my friends as well.
