Hi Seoul Hostel Myeongdong Central
"Small room but clean and comfortable. Little space to open luggage but it is not big issues to me. Sad to say no lift and you need to carry your own luggage to upstairs for self check in."
Oriens Hotel & Residences Myeongdong
"Facilities: A bit old-fashioned, the hotel shows its age. Hygiene: Decent, the cleaning was thorough. Environment: Very convenient, not far from Myeongdong. Service: The front desk staff was welcoming."
D.A.L Premium Capsule Hotel(WOMAN/MAN ONLY)
"this place is practically unmanned, yet runs pretty well. It is clean, tidy and you get all the services that are advertised. The capsule itself is cosy and very comfortable. There is ventilation inside. Don't expect good sound insulation between you and the neighbouring capsules. Everyone was respectful during my stay, but snoring is unavoidable, so if you're a light sleeper easily affected by this, then take note. Breakfast is the same everyday, toast, ham, cheese, coffee. The washrooms were very clean. Check in and check out was also a breeze. Location is very conveniently located between two stations: Dongdaemun and Dongmyo. Both have 2 lines, so this place is very well connected wherever you need to go/come back from in Seoul. Would stay here again if travelling solo."
COMOCASA residence
"nice hotel , but need to contact staff take the password before you check-in , no any counter"
HOTEL BLISS Myeongdong
"Clean room with everything you need. Very friendly staff. The only downside is that breakfast isn't available, but that's a minor issue! Highly recommended!"
Hotel Newv Gangnam Seoul
"The room is quite spacious and very clean, and the bathroom facilities are excellent. It's just a few steps from the subway station, literally a three-minute walk. There are plenty of food options nearby. The only downside is that it's quite a long subway ride to get to different attractions."
Hotel Drip&Drop Myeongdong
"Excellent location. Just beside Euljiro 1 Station and make it so convenient to take train. Night market just below hotel."
WAYHOME
Hotel The Designers DDP
"Unfriendly staff, especially the guy working the night shift. He sighed every time I asked something while he was just playing on his phone. Complete waste of the owner's money."
