“Fantastic stay. The location in Myeongdong's shopping area was unbeatable, with loads of food options outside. The hostel was small and friendly, the room clean, and the kitchen well equipped. Breakfast was nice, though the area could be a bit tight. Slight noise and limited storage, but I'd still recommend it.”
