8Verified guest“I was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. The small hotel may not look like much, but it exceeded all expectations. The cleanliness was mind-blowing, and check-in was a breeze with friendly staff. The location was super convenient, making it easy to explore the city by bus, taxi, or subway. The staff's hospitality was jaw-dropping, as they were always eager to assist in multiple languages. They even restocked breakfast items upon request! The honesty and helpfulness of the staff were refreshing. The central location, along with nearby amenities, made my 11-day stay a breeze. The spacious room had everything I needed, from luggage storage to a work desk. The staff's friendliness and flexibility, even allowing an early check-in, made this a truly great experience. I will definitely book this place again for future trips!”

8Verified guest“We had a great stay at this hotel! Tripstay Myeongdong had a convenient location right next to a subway station, making it easy for us to explore the city. The price was reasonable, especially considering it was in Seoul. The beds were comfortable and spacious, with enough room for both of us. The comforter provided great warmth, and the pillows were just right. The staff was friendly and helpful, and they spoke English well. We also enjoyed the excellent breakfast, which included cereal, noodles, toast, butter and jelly, coffee. The bathroom shower was clean, and the towels were nice. Plus, the hotel had a super powerful hair dryer, which was a bonus. We had a good night's rest and felt safe during our stay. The hotel is also close to shopping malls, tourist sites, and the subway, only about 100 steps away. Cons: All good.”
