Philstay Myeongdong Station

Hotel location is right smack at the heart of Myeongdong. Moreover, Myeongdong station is literally a stone's throw away. Bus stations to all lines are also easily walkable. You can leave your luggage if you arrive before check-in. We left ours at 9am and explored Namsan Tower, which is a 15 min walk. Came back at 230pm and our room was ready. Checked out at 11am, but left our luggage at the common area since our flight was at 1am the next day. This is the most highly recommended budget hotel for first time Seoul tourists. Bonus, they have heated floors if you're visiting during the cold season.

Just a short walk or two stops on Subway Line 4 from Seoul City railway station, the location is exceptional. Myeongdong station is 2 minutes walk; the airport bus is 2 minutes walk. The night market is even closer with amazing views of N Tower illuminated at night. The staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and well appointed with air conditioning, bathroom facilities, TV., and under-bed storage. Hanging space is limited, but this isn't supposed to be the Ritz. It's the perfect base to rest your head after a long day in Seoul. Stay here for high-end to everyday shopping, Myeongdong night market with delicious street food, Namdaemun market, the sights of old Seoul, access to N Tower, and easy transportation to the rest of the city.

This is my second time staying here, and the accommodation is excellent as always. The location is right in the heart of all the conveniences, including easy access to public transportation. You can take Airport bus direct from the airport to Myeongdong and walk just 2 minutes to the accommodation. Alternatively, you can take the high-speed train from the airport to Seoul Station and transfer to another line for two more stops until you reach Myeongdong Station. The accommodation has an elevator, the rooms are clean, and the beds are comfortable. There is no musty smell at all. You can use the common area for dining or working, and there is an affordable laundry service where you don’t have to wait for the machine to finish, staff will take care of everything for you. In the same building, you’ll find restaurants and a hair salon. As soon as you step outside, you can easily find street food and various shops, offering endless exploration. I walked to the end of the street and visited a beautiful Myeongdong Church. Across the road, you can see Namsan Tower, which you can either walk to or take a bus up for a panoramic view of the city.

This is my third time back at the accomodation and we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when travelling to Myeondong. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. We have two separate stays booked here as part of our 21 days travelling in South Korea. The reception staff who met us on both checked in dates took care of us and our luggages in between our stays. The location is prime - in the mecca of the shopping and restaurants, close to the train station and airport bus limousine stop. Our last stay here was in 2018 and surprisingly the owner/manager remembered us and spoilt us with baked goods. It may not be a 5 star luxury hotel but it’s a great accommodation with lovely staff to take care of you.

The location is amazing, not even 3 minutes to the mtr station and its basically less than 1 minute to myeondong street. The rooms are comfortable but not really big. However they are more than enough if you look at it as a place to rest and sleep only. The staff are nice and helpful. Its a good place with this price.
