Rooms: the bed is bigger than usual bunk beds in budget hostels. beddings are also clean. Its good that all are women inside. But dining/eating area is small so need to eat breakfast early.
Service: Staff are friendly
Location: great location in Myeongdong! just a few meters away from the bus stop and the subway exit. also very near CVS, Myeongdong street, Jaemiro, OY, and the 12 floor Daiso!

I stayed bed in 2 bed. Just for one night. It was clean and organised. But there were not enough space to open my suitcase. I was be able to use common space so it was fine for me . The staff were kind and friendly.
I recommend people who need the bed for just sleeping:)

Traveling solo, my main concerns for accommodation are safety and location. This place is women-only, which made me feel very safe.
The location is excellent, right by Myeongdong subway station. You just walk a short distance from the exit and you're there. You can easily walk to Myeongdong Cathedral and Namsan Tower, and it's super convenient to take the subway to other attractions.
Since it's not directly on a main road, the accommodation is very quiet. The beds and bathrooms are clean. For breakfast, they offer milk, coffee, and toast, which is simple and convenient. If you get back late after a day of exploring, you can grab some snacks at the Myeongdong Night Market.
Overall, it's perfect for solo female travelers and highly recommended.

The location is really great, it's a walking distance to metro line. Convenience stores are also nearby. Room is clean, and I could make new friends!

I had a generally good experience until I encountered an issue with the facility. The hostel is promoted as a women-only space, yet I was surprised to see a man sitting at the front desk and walking around the dorm, near the shower room. While I understand a man can be stationed at the front desk, I don’t think it’s appropriate for him to be walking around the floors where the rooms are, especially near the shower area and even sleeping inside the same floor as the female guests. He was actually sleeping directly in front of Room A, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
To ensure a safe and private environment for female guests, I believe the shower room should either be relocated to a more isolated area or kept separate from the main lobby. If men are present on the same floor, the layout should be reconsidered for privacy, perhaps by having a common area or a separate designated space for shared amenities. This would enhance the experience and comfort of those staying here. 전반적으로 좋은 경험이었지만 시설에서 문제가 있었습니다. 이 호스텔은 여성 전용 공간으로 홍보되었지만, 저는 프론트 데스크에 앉아 있는 남자와 샤워실 근처를 돌아다니는 남자를 봤습니다. 프론트 데스크에 남자가 있는 건 이해할 수 있지만, 그가 여성 객실이 있는 층을 돌아다니고, 샤워실 근처에서 활동하는 것은 적절하지 않다고 생각합니다. 특히 그는 A호 앞에서 자고 있었기 때문에 매우 불편했습니다.
여성 투숙객들을 위한 안전하고 개인적인 환경을 보장하려면, 샤워실을 더 격리된 곳으로 옮기거나 로비와 분리해야 한다고 생각합니다. 만약 남자가 같은 층에 있을 경우, 프라이버시를 위해 레이아웃을 재고해야 하며, 공용 공간이나 다른 공간을 마련하는 것이 좋습니다. 이는 투숙객들의 경험과 편안함을 향상시킬 것입니다

Convenient location, but the shower is small and inconvenient. There’s no place to hang the clothes in the shower, and towels are very small but people are quite and not making noise

This place is perfect for solo travelers. It's centrally located and very close to the subway station, with plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. You can keep your luggage right next to your bed.

Big space and the location is very close to the subway,the bed is comfort too

The location is superb; the airport shuttle drops you off right at the hotel, and the subway station is just outside, making it convenient to get anywhere. Since it's budget-friendly, try not to have overly high expectations.

Got the lunch special and was blown away by the portion and side dishes. Three people could have easily shared the meal. I don't even think it was particularly good.
The two tourists that sat next to us saw what we got and tried to order just one to share. The waiter basically embarrassed them and scoffed that they each had to order something. I was pleased because those two people were super obnoxious and it was nice to see a public shaming.
Lots of young Korean people here which was a good sign because it probably means the prices are good and so is the food considering this area is tourist central.
If you prefer quantity over quality then this place is excellent.

We stayed in Seoul for a week and came here the second night. And let me say one thing first. If you want great meat with nice hosts, choose a place called "Myeongdong Jungil Hoegwan" which is not far away.
This place here is more or less in the middle of the action of Myeongdong. It's on a 2nd floor with no english sign downstairs. Once upstairs you'll see the english sign.
It is not a bad place, but there are a bunch of issues. The biggest one was the unfriendly welcome. There was a big line....but we managed to get in after about 25mins. While waiting we studied the menu. Looked good and the prices similar to other grills. Since we weren't sure about the meat quality we ordered two items first. And the lady in charge quite rudely repeated how little we wanted to order and that we should really get more. We said we'll order more after the first plates. Only to find out that this will be the last order and it's not possible to order more (place closed about in 1 hour, around 9.30pm).
She had quite an attitude....so we didn't order more. Almost walked away, but it got late so we sat down at our table. 2 servings of meat, two beer and Soju. All the usual sides dishes like Kimchi came with. All for about 70$ (premium cut of beef around 40$ a piece) Meat was pretty good I have to say and the friendly waiter at our table made us forget a little about the rude welcome. We even thought about coming back, since we enjoyed the meat (on real coal) here.
But only to find the restaurant "Myeongdong Jungil Hoegwan" two nights later, where we dined two times. Meat quality was superior....and really friendly staff. No rush ... no push. We enjoyed that place a lot and happily spent more than double the money we spent here (we ordered quite a lot of meat).
Ok, this here is not a bad place. But it's not the best in town for sure and closes quite early. If you got time on your hands you should try my other recommendation.
