스타리아 호스텔

It’s very enough to stay for sightseeing and shopping around this perfect area. However, we needed to wait staff to check in for 10min and the shower room is quite small with toilet, we needed to wipe after using shower.

First and last visit. The triple room is very small for a family of 3 (its like a room for 1 adult only), different from the images uploaded. Limited space in room to put luggage, bathroom, hang clothes. Broken bed (not firm) and plug extension. Duvet cover is bad (easily messed up). Cheap mirror.

The hostel was well located - very near Namsan Tower and Myeongdong. However, it is located uphill so you may have trouble if you are carrying many luggage with you. The bathroom is rather small but the room is decently sized. They have heated floors which was great but it was not evenly distributed so some areas of the room were cold. Please be advised that Myeongdong station does not have a lift/elevator access from platform to street level as there is a certain section which requires you to take the stairs so I suggest that taking a taxi to the hostel may be more convenient.

Very helpful staff at hotel reception. Free Hanbok experience was fun. Breakfast was basic but satisfactory.

What I like: - accommodates super late arrival, got in about 130am and our room keys are waiting at the desk - they have hanbok available for guests to try- for free - affordable, with free breakfast, which we didn’t try - very good location, across from Myeongdong, walking distance from Namsan Tower, and with lots of restaurants and convenience stores around What I don’t like: - you have to clean out your own trash - no housekeeping unless requested, and I think they just changed the towels - the towels are so small, they’re actually hand towels - no cable signal so we couldn’t use the tv
