Cari Hotel 2-Star di Seoul

On one of the nights during our stay, the fire alarm went off at 3 AM. We sat on the curb across the street, shivering in the cold for half an hour before the fire truck arrived. During that entire half hour, no staff member came out to explain the situation. Staff from Hotel Skypark II across the street did come out to check, and after the fire trucks arrived, we also saw Skypark staff communicating with the firefighters. About an hour later, other guests started returning to their rooms, and we followed suit. Even at that point, no staff from this hotel had appeared. On our way back to the room, we noticed a large amount of clutter in the stairwell (see photo) — a hazard in itself.  A few minutes after we got back to our room, the fire alarm suddenly went off again, but just for a few seconds, which startled us so much that we immediately went down to the front desk on the 3/F. At that time, there were two foreign female sitting in the common area. We thought they were just guests and chatted with them for a bit, only to find out during the conversation that they were actually staff members here. According to them, they were something like international students or exchange students working here— not trained professionals you would expect to handle an emergency. We also figured out during the conversation that they had actually been standing outside with the guests the whole time while we were all waiting for the fire trucks to arrive — yet even then, neither of them had come forward to say anything or offer any reassurance. We guessed that they were probably working here in exchange for a place to stay, which would explain why no one seemed to be properly in charge when things went wrong. Putting this incident aside, this hostel is actually quite good.  The three of us stayed in a family twin room. We were able to open two large suitcases in the entrance hallway, and there was plenty of space at the foot of the beds and underneath them to temporarily store things we had just bought. The double bed was more than spacious enough for two people, and there was also lots of room on the shelf behind our bed to place personal items. The only minor complaint is that a smell occasionally came from the ventilation system on the bathroom ceiling. Also, there is no shower stall/ bathtub (see photo), so when you shower, the entire floor and toilet bowl gets wet, and there is no place to hang clothes to change into after showering. The room was pretty clean. The common area has a vacuum cleaner, a washer-dryer, and a luggage scale. There is also a microwave, an oven, and a stovetop available for use. For breakfast, bread, eggs, cereal, milk, and Indomie instant noodles are provided for you to cook yourself.   The hotel's location is very convenient — it's right across from Hotel Skypark II. It's a short walk to Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station and Myeongdong, and there are plenty of great restaurants nearby, as well as a convenience store right across the street. If it weren't for this incident, I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

The location is very nice. You can easily walk to Myeongdong, Namsan Tower, and many restaurants, and transportation is convenient. The staff were very kind and helpful. However, it’s difficult for me to say this was a good stay overall. Here are the reasons why: • Elevator – The elevator is only for luggage, not for guests. This should be clearly stated before booking. As in here it’s show as the property has an elevator without explaining that it is a cargo elevator, it is misleading. • Security – The room password was simply the room number with an additional “1” added to it. I didn’t leave valuables in the room, so I wasn’t too worried, but it still felt like a weak security system. • Room Door – There is no additional lock on the inside of the room. While the digital lock can be activated, I never felt completely confident that the door was fully secured. • Soft Opening Without Notice – When I booked, there was no mention that the property was still in a soft-opening stage. I expected the hotel to be fully operational. Instead, there were unfinished areas, items left around the property, and staff frequently entering rooms after check-in to inspect or photograph things without being asked. Had I known the hotel was not fully ready, I would have considered other options before booking. • Poor Room Layout – My room was 405, located at the end of the hallway. The neighboring room (404) had a door positioned in a way that it would hit my door whenever opened carelessly. During my four-night stay, the guests next door banged their door into mine repeatedly. Eventually, at around 1 a.m. one night, I had to contact the staff and ask them to address the issue. • Cleanliness Concerns – The property appears to use the same type of towel for everything. When I asked about a bathroom mat, I was told to use a towel instead. This gave me the impression that the towels were being used for multiple purposes, including drying floors. On top of that, the towels shed lint and left fibers on my skin after use. • Very Small Bathroom – Please be aware that the bathroom is extremely small. The shower is positioned directly over the toilet, and there is barely enough room to stand while showering. In practice, you almost need to sit on the toilet to shower comfortably. After two nights, I seriously considered moving to another hotel. The only reason I stayed was because my mother didn’t want to move all of our belongings again. To be fair, one of the staff members (possibly the owner) sincerely apologized and explained that they were trying their best. I do believe they genuinely care and are making an effort. However, there is still a long way to go before this property is ready to provide a comfortable hotel experience.

Staying at Step Inn Myeongdong 1 as a solo female traveler was one of the best decisions I made in Seoul 🇰🇷✨ The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Myeongdong, surrounded by shops, street food, and just a short walk to the subway. I always felt safe coming back, even at night, because the area is lively and well-lit. The hostel itself is clean, well-maintained, and very organized. The female dorms felt secure and comfortable, with lockers provided for peace of mind. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful—they made everything easy, from check-in to giving directions and tips around the city. I also appreciated the little details: free breakfast, a cozy common area, and a welcoming atmosphere where it’s easy to meet other travelers but still have your own space. If you’re a solo female traveler looking for something affordable, safe, and super convenient in Seoul, I’d definitely recommend this place 💯

The location is very good and it is near lots of food place. The room is very clean and the staffs are very friendly helping us get taxi and showing us the directions. 10/10 honestly!! Don’t have an actual pic of the room but the picture is the food literally opposite on the other side of the road 🤤

I can say that Gaga Hotel Dongdaemun is quite an underrated hotel that is not really popular among tourists from my own country. However, I trusted my instincts to book it anyway and turned out it was a great choice! First, the location is really strategic. You took an airport bus from the terminal and straightly rode it until Dongmyo station. Just 2 minutes walk from the station and you will arrive at the hotel. Bonus point is that the hotel located at landed area, no need for hiking steep trails or stairs! Then, you wanted to go to the main attraction places, simply ride on the city bus or took the subway train that was located just 5 mins walks from the hotel. Really convenient! As for the room, it was really minimalist but still have all the basics necessities that every tourists needed. Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, hair dryer, towel, toothbrush and even hanger provided in the room. But bear in mind that korea’s hotel only provided small towel, just enough to dry your body 😂 As for check in and check out process, it was convenient as well. You do it all by yourself. Really suitable for introvert person or those who may have language barriers. And lastly, for a hotel, it offered one of the best price that you can get in Seoul. Overall, I had a great stay at Gaga Hotel and definitely will recommend this hotel to others. And I will definitely consider again to stay there for my next trip.

Stayed here for the remaining 8 Days. For the price (last minute booking) it was really worth and had an amazing stay. It's near a bus stop and train station. It's also fairly close to the Olympic Park for concerts i was attending to at Kspo. So the location was perfect for me as well! The staff were always friendly and helpful to me. Altough they couldnt communicate well in english, they tried their best to communicate via app translation and instructions were also given in english, so there were no problems. i appreciate the effort! You have to keep in mind that they do late check in tho (expect checkin to be 20:00-22:00) but it did fit my schedule bc i could only check in around that time. The room itself impressed me most for the price! Its very modern. The bed was big, comfortable and soft (which many dont have in korea for some reason...). Aircon was working rlly good and fast. The lighting was great. And what really impressed me myself is the TV. That's be biggest Tv i've ever had seen in any hotel ever haha (and i've been to luxury hotels too) its bigger in person than the picture shows and the quality was impressive. I just love watching TV, they had Tv, netflix and youtube too. They had a screen where you could order delivery food too, its very practical. The pc was also good, not high gaming level ofc but you can do alot in there. Overall the design was good, windows a little small but i didnt need window views. My only downside was the bathroom, it was big clean and spacious, however there was a sewer smell (not stinky or foul but like a weird bad smell) often when you dont turn on the air suction, especially when you come back to the room after a long day outside. The smell would fade ofc but sometimes it would take longer and its unbearable to be inside there. I dont know where the smell would come from. But still, it felt icky to brush your teeth or wash you face when you smell that. However, The shower, toilet and sink itself is clean. The soap dispenser however were dirty and old, They NEED replacement, so i didnt like using them. But the soap inside smelt good ofc. Towels were clean. Amenities were basic but good. You got your free water bottles every few days, robe, fridge, hair dryer, new soap packs. If you wanted to wash clothes it was in the lobby, and you can rent more items like iron etc. At the lobbys you could have free snacks and drinks/ coffee too it was nice addition. My overal stay was amazing! For the cheap price and location it was so much better than i expected. It was the perfect hotel to stay in (and its not motel too btw). I would recommend it, if you have the same needs as me. I will be staying in there next time!

I honestly don’t know what to say about this hostel. At first, I was relieved to find a place that was this affordable, but I never expected it to be this disappointing. Let me break everything down. 📍 Location There were two of us traveling, and I booked a room for two people. I was already a little pessimistic about the location because the hostel is located quite deep inside a narrow alley. The area is not exactly clean or well-maintained, although it was still tolerable. There are two pharmacies nearby, and the biggest advantage is that it only takes about a 1-minute walk to reach the Line 5 and Line 6 subway stations. I still couldn’t find many food options nearby. The closest convenient option I found was a 7-Eleven, which takes around 5 minutes to walk to. 🏠 First Impression & Common Area When I first entered, there were a lot of suitcases piled up around the luggage storage area, which made the space feel very cramped, especially with the shoe rack right next to it. In front of the shoe rack, there is a large touchscreen with a camera that you can use for self-check-in. It supports several languages, which is quite convenient. The machine provides your room number, tips and information about the hostel, as well as the password/access information needed to enter your room. The room doors use smart locks. In the middle of the common area, there are two large refrigerators. One is for the staff and the other is for guests. If you want to store food, you simply need to label it with your check-out date. So don’t worry—your food is not supposed to be taken by anyone. Next to the refrigerators, there are four tables and some sofas where guests can sit, eat, or simply wait. The Wi-Fi in this common area worked well. All guest rooms are located upstairs, and unfortunately, there is no elevator. One thing that really bothered me was the lack of a public bathroom. If you need to use the toilet before checking in, don’t expect to be able to use one. I actually asked one of the staff members, “Do you know where the toilet I can use is?” The staff member, who was not very fluent in English, replied, “Yes, there is, but in the room.” I then asked, “Can I use the bathroom, just the bathroom, and then I’ll leave?” The answer was basically that I had to wait until my room was ready at 3 PM. So if you arrive early and really need to use the bathroom, keep this in mind. 🧳 Facilities & Amenities Some basic amenities are provided on top of the shoe rack, including towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and earplugs. There is also a small service area next to the shoe rack where you can leave your clothes for laundry. The laundry service costs around 5,000 KRW. The common area also has a small kitchen. There is an electric stove, an oven, a sink for washing dishes, and even an automatic washing machine. The oven was not plugged in when I saw it, so you either need to ask the staff to plug it in or do it yourself. Pots are provided on the counter. There is also a free water dispenser, along with several sachets of coffee and tea. Paper cups and regular cups are available, as well as chopsticks, forks, and spoons. 🍞 Breakfast Breakfast is available from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM. However, don’t expect a hotel-style breakfast. The selection is very basic: bread, instant noodles with the seasoning provided separately, several spreads for the bread, and boiled eggs. There were different spreads available, including strawberry jam, although I can’t remember all of the others. Each person is allowed to take only one boiled egg. For a hostel at this price, the breakfast is understandable, but it is definitely very simple. 🛏️ Room Condition Now, this is where things became disappointing. You can see the condition of the room in the photos I provided. The room was quite worn out, and some of the wallpaper was already damaged. The bathroom is extremely small. You can even see the water heater right next to the toilet. There w

It's only two minutes' walk from the nearest station and has excellent access. There is a convenience store right next to the hotel, and there are 24-hour restaurants nearby, so it's convenient. A refrigerator, dryer, and smartphone charger are provided in the room.(i-phone&type-c only) If there is no staff at the front desk when you check in, you will need to obtain your room number using sns. As others have written, the cleaning situation leaves room for improvement. However, you will be able to stay at a very reasonable price, so I think it would be a good idea to bring slippers and other things to make up for the parts of the floor that are not well cleaned.
