57 Myeongdong Hostel

The room was absolutely disgusting; I've never stayed at a hotel where the pictures differed so drastically from reality. The windows weren't sealed properly, letting in cold drafts that gave me a headache. The bathroom was unusable for showering, and its glass window also had a poor seal, making it freezing cold – I even had to wear a winter coat to use the toilet. The air conditioning was erratic, constantly switching between hot and cold, and I was so cold all night I couldn't sleep. I had originally booked for several nights but ended up checking out after just one night because it was unbearable. To make matters worse, I was charged an extra 700 RMB for two nights due to early check-out, which made for a truly terrible experience. The room was incredibly small, I couldn't even open my suitcase. The cleanliness was appalling, and the service attitude was also poor. Everyone, please choose this hotel with caution.

My first impression was that it was very clean, but a bit small! The bathroom had everything you needed. The location couldn't be better! It's just 100 meters in a straight line to the Shinsegae Duty-Free Shop and 450 meters to Lotte Duty-Free Shop! This place is a godsend for international shoppers, saving a lot of travel hassle. We booked late and didn't get a room with a window, which was a bit of a shame! If you care about your living environment, try to get a windowed room, though they are a bit more expensive. The downside is that the soundproofing isn't great, which isn't ideal for light sleepers. The upside: the breakfast is also very rich! Different kinds of porridge every day! Staple foods include bread, eggs, and cabbage and corn salad! You wash your own dishes. Disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste are provided! Just bring your own toothbrush cup and slippers!
