Absolutely love the location of 57 Myeongdong Hostel. It was so easy to go to different spots from the hostel and there were loads of good food around. Highly recommend Jangsu Galbi which is just across the hostel and Myeongdong Kyo Ja which is around 7mins walk from the hostel. We also enjoyed their breakfast options and is definitelt worth adding to your booking. They were simple but hearty 😊 The staff were very helpful and accommodating too. One thing to note is that the standards rooms only have frosted glass as walls for the bathroom, so it's not really ideal if you're sharing with friends. I'd probably go for the deluxe room on our next stay since I was told that those have proper walls for the bathroom. Aside from the frosted glass bathroom walls, the rooms were quite comfortable. There are luggage spaces below the beds which really helped make the room more comfortable. Slippers, toiletries, and towels are provided too. Overall, great experience and will definitely stay here again. P.S. don't miss out on the rooftop! Pretty amazing view of Namsan tower and the busy streets of Myeongdong. 💜

The hostel is very fast in responding to my request when I booked the hotel. The staff topped up the juices during breakfast. Food during breakfast is irrelevant as I brought my own (I'm a Muslim). The receptionists are always ready to answer my queries. Location is perfect. Room is what I paid for albeit small, it's just nice. I guess this hostel has tried to solve all the negative comments before. I anticipated issues mentioned in the reviews but didn't encounter any of those during my stay.. yeayyy!!!!

This is my first time staying in this hostel. Location is excellent; near to the Myeongdong station exit 5 and also close to the main road so it is easy to get a taxi too. I got the deluxe twin room. It is big enough for a solo traveller. What sold me was the beautiful city view from my room. Heating is good during this winter season. It has the basic necessities including a small fridge, a nice tv and hair dryer. Staff at the counter is nice and accomodating as I arrived late at night during check in. I would stay here again when I come to Seoul in the future.

The people working there, the receptionist to be specific was so nice, he was there when I had questions about exchanging money, sending a post card (they offer to send it for you) also gave me a bookmark gift. Never experienced a personnel as nice a him.
