My heart and Seoul
I loved it here!!!!!! It markets itself as a hostel but having stayed at hostels and hotels...it offers far more than any hotel I have stayed at for that price point There are FREE washing machines on each floor with detergent and clothes racks provided. Free breakfast is offered. I have seen some people complain about having to wash your plate but you are getting a free meal ; it is the least you can do. You are going to be washing a plate, cup and cutlery (that's like 3 mins work get over yourselves!) The bathroom has an unusual set up by western standards in that the wet room has your toilet and shower in the same space but its not that deep. Anyone can figure out how to turn the showerhead so that you keep the water getting on the toilet to a minimum. It is also not unique to 57 Myeongdong as have seen this design in Malaysia and Singapore in actual hotels. I cannot wait to return here as the location is crazy central. What more do you want from being right on Myeongdong. The station is 3 - 5 mins walk away and in terms of shops for beauty, food and clothing they are on the doorstep. You go downstairs and turn right and there you are. Shout out to Joon I think who put up with my food questions and to the old man who manned the door when I arrived on Fri 19. When I was going out late he made sure I had the code and checked I could get back in as he wouldnt be there on my return. I miss Seoul

This is a great place to stay. Close to subway station Exit 5. Convent to take the Airport Limousine Bus back to Incheon airport, located close to Exit 9 of the subway. The reception area needs new carpet. Either it’s stained really bad or needs cleaning. My room was two twin beds with street and roof top views. The bed is the hardest bed I’ve ever sleep in. I asked for a mattress topper(duvet). It didn’t help so I went across the street and bought two yoga mats. Still was to hard for my hip joint. Staff is friendly. Has a breakfast buffet every day. They will store luggage if you get there too early.

The location was walkable to Seoul Station, subway and bus stops, and located right by street markets. Rooms are small with wet baths but had everything we needed. Not fancy but they did have free breakfasts. Our room was clean with free washing machines just out the door from our room. We would recommend and would use again.
