OYO Hostel Myeongdong 3

Wonderful staff - super-friendly and kind; all fluent in English. Great location, amidst hubbub of Myeondong, but also not right on main street. Do not stay here if you do not like crowds or a Times Square atmosphere. Easy walkable access to numerous shops, sights (eg. DDP, Prison Museum, City Hall; food markets, etc., and even cathedral). Safe area, can go out late at night with minimal concerns (in general, safe country!). Close to public transpo lines. Compact room; small, wet washrm (wetrooms are convention in Korea) marginally larger than a plane lavatory; would be much better if door swung out and not inwards into an already tiny washrm, which would likely make it challenging for larger people to negotiate that space. Appreciated presence of recycling bins, and absence of single-use toiletries and disposable slippers. Would be extra nice to address super-drafty windows and avoid repetitive distribution of rules (emailed/texted pre-arrival, then reviewed with staff and also unnecessarily printed out on arrival, AND also a copy in room. It is a lot; one time/copy is enough for the majority of us who will abide by them.) Thank you for a nice stay!

For a guesthouse, it's quite spacious

Yes, it was good 👍

Room is ok, location is excellent. The only bad thing is washroom is together with shower, will get wet after used.

Wow! From personal hand written messages from when we entered to left I loved this little hotel/hostel! I’ve stayed at hundreds of hostels and hotels but this was up there. The location was more than central and although the room was small it was perfect. Merci/Thank You
