This place is bang in the middle of Myeongdong shopping district. Tons of places to shop and eat. Easy access to the metro network as well. We had an excellent stay at the place. They receptionist was very kind and was always ready to answer our questions.
Room was a bit smaller than shown in the pics. If you are okay with that, this is an excellent choice for single and couple travellers
I enjoyed my stay at OYO hostel Myeongdong 1. I will most definitely return and get a private room. Having a private room made a big difference and I was able to get a good night’s sleep. It was a bit dated but still you get good value for your money in Seoul. It was also a quiet and safe place. I will recommend this property and several other OYOs in Seoul.
The hostel is very welcoming and has offered snacks as small gifts upon check in and check out. There is complimentary breakfast everyday (toast and tea or coffee) which is heartening. They also offer laundry service at affordable fee per basket which is great, no need being too much luggage.
Would like to commend a staff named 美成,very helpful and friendly to tourists.
Room is a little small for 2 people but manageable. Overall is great and would consider staying again. (:
Location is the best. Right in the middle of myeongdong and 6 mins walk to bus and train.
Food and shopping right downstairs.
Rooms are small. Bathroom is toilet and shower in one. So if you need more space, may not be the best option for you.
Travelled as a couple and we could navigate two large pieces with a carry on in the room i.e. take what you need and keep them closed to make space.
Also, the rooms have heated floors and was very nice and comfortable in winter.
Also, they have laundry services too.

Front desk attendant Es is superb! She is veru helpfull and friendly to all guests making the property likable.
The cleaning attendant is also friendly with good rapport with guests
It’s actually really near myeongdong station that has escalator excess. Plus just a turn in from the main shopping street in myeongdong. Do not trust google map to find it, use kakao or Naver map instead! It’s right above a bbq restaurant but no smell (in winter). Have to climb a small flight of stairs to excess the lift to the main floor though.
When we arrived the receptions ware was in a big mess. They were cleaning the AC and it was not really pleasant. The lady at the reception was kind and helpful. But we had to wait till check in time which was at 3:00pm

It was really bad to answer the call and no make up the room.
I had a great time at the hostel. The staff was very attentive.it is super close to the train and bus stations,
It also has a convenience store downstairs which is very convenient.
Very convenient centrally located stay in Myeongdong, right next to a convenience store.
The room is a bit cramped for two people but manageable. The walls are also quite thin but other guests are usually quiet. Free basic breakfast is provided as well. I would certainly consider staying again.
No recomiendo reservar en este hotel
Tuve un problema con mi vuelo y no quisieron ayudarme absolutamente en nada para re acomodarme o darme alguna opción simplemente se quedaron con el
Dinero y ya !

Muito bom, a localização é de fácil acesso ao metro e outras atrações da cidade. O atendimento de Simon foi muito cordial e eu agradeço. O quarto era pequeno, mas esperado, e estava limpo e confortável. A acomodação deixou um pequeno lanche na entrada e na saída. Café da manhã simples e funcional. Recomendo!
