If you’re into shopping, this is the best accommodation you can find and the price is very affordable! The owner of this hotel was attentive to our needs. Will be back in the near future! -Olivia Dy (Los Angeles, CA, USA) ##### Jose Louis Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great and affordable stay in Myeongdong! Great location in the middle of Myeongdong. The host was very accommodating and polite. Our unit itself was comfortable and clean, although the bed was a bit more firm than I prefer. And we had a private shower! I would highly recommend! ##### Melissa Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michelle 28 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Surrounded by great food and lots of shops very convenient and nice place! ##### michelle Stayed 9 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 19 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Room was very private and clean. Stayed here for 5 nights, check in and checkout process was very easy. Location is very good in central Myeongdong, metro station is a few minutes walk away. Would definitely recommend for solo travellers staying in Seoul. ##### James Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Johna 14 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unique.

Safe and things were clean. It's in the and building as a cat cafe. Good food chooses for morning time. Convenient location. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### HING CHIU 2 Oct 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Afterall, this is in a convenient location. You get what you pay for. ##### HING CHIU Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### MARIA RUSZALA 9 Jul 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The reviews and pictures are over rated. The carpet is dirty, the air conditioned didn’t work on our first night. The room is so small, it so uncomfortable for us. The location is great. ##### MARIA RUSZALA Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Angela 7 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Expectations, it is all about your expectations. If you are looking for a luxury hotel, this is not the place. If you are simply looking for a place to sleep, not expecting to spend any time in your room, this is perfect. The location is a bit off the beaten path, a little difficult to find, but extremely close to most tour pickup locations, and right in the middle of Myeongdong shopping. I admit, I booked thinking it was a hotel, but the sign specifically states Hostel. I was fine with the small space and lack of counterspace, but was surprised that the bathroom consisted of only a toilet and sink, no shower. (A wet bath I believe it is called.). This took some getting used to. The room was cleaned regularly by very pleasant staff, but the concierge was seldom seen. (Wanting to speak to someone for advice was one of the reasons I chose this place, but no one was available to speak to.) For the price I paid, I was disappointed, but I realized it was really all about expectations. If you don't need much assistance, just a place for your belongings and a place to sleep, Philstay will work. ##### Angela Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location right in the middle of Myeong-dong and right between two metro stations that are both short walking distances from the hotel. ##### Jason Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Helene 16 Dec 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I picked the hotel because we love the location but it didn't offer the basic things like bathing towels. The room is small, the beds are hard, and they only provided hand towels for use. Make sure to bring your own bathing towels if you plan on staying there. ##### Helene Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### DIEGO CARVANTES 1 Sept 2024 Very expensive hotel for what they offer. The cheapest room is very small, practically only fits the bed and a suitcase. They mention this to you when you arrive and offer you an upgrade that you end up paying for because there are no refunds. I stayed in the same area in a more "expensive" hotel and ended up paying the same. They don't clean until after 2 days, there is no window to the outside, the bed is like a rock, the bathroom is very small, the shower is over the toilet. ##### DIEGO CARVANTES Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sage 12 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved it here. Our flight was canceled and the hotel was super responsive when I messaged them and asked if we could shift our visit ahead 1 day. We came with our 11 year old. Clean, comfortable, and a lot of details that really made it great. Refrigerator in room, small common kitchen area, a scale so you can weigh your luggage before you leave to make sure you’re not over the airline limit. There is even a place to store your luggage after checkout if your flight doesn’t leave until the evening. Beds are firm, sheets and comforter are comfortable. Shower is easy to operate. We were out exploring the city all day and it was a great place to crash at night and eat breakfast in the morning before taking off. We’ll be back! ##### Sage ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul Michael 22 Sept 2023 I was surprised that there was only a showerhead next to the toilet, rather inconvenient. I was also unaware that you could not throw toilet paper into the toilet, but that was not unusual, it seems. ##### Paul Michael Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 3 Jun 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Do not book Please do not book this place if you want a safe, comfortable trip. The building is located at the end of a deserted alleyway in Myeongdong. The entrance is open to the public and this part of the street is poorly lit at night. My booking was for 4 nights and the front desk staff were seldom present for assistance. The heating system did not work during my stay so I was given a portable heater which helped only a little. There are many other alternatives in this area, so I would recommend staying away from Philstay Myeongdong Metro. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHING-HSUAN 7 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 價格很便宜 雖然有些美中不足也沒關係 地點方便 整體算是蠻有cp值的 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ac185b13-55d6-48f1-8df2-fc8ecdb815bd-1767788916387.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### CHING-HSUAN Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 6/10 Okay #### YUKO 16 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities トイレとシャワーが近すぎで、トイレが水浸しに。それ以外は良かったです。 ##### YUKO Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marie-Christine 30 Aug 2025 Hotel très bien placé et calme mais chambre sans fenêtre qui ne ressemble pas aux photos du site, très basique ##### Marie-Christine Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### SHINSAKU 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness ベットは良かったのですが、少し部屋の匂いがきになります。立地はとてもよく便利なのは間違いないです。 ##### SHINSAKU Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### AKEMI 13 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ホテルの近くにショッピング、飲食店が沢山あって便利だった。 安いホテルを選んだから仕方ないかもしれないが、窓がない部屋だったからか天井がカビなのか汚れていた。 壁も湿気でなのか剥がれてる部分があった。 暖房がエアコンではなくヒーターみたいなので使いにくかった。 タオルの交換が2日に一回で2日分まとめて置いてあった。 ルームキーが一つしか渡してもらえなかった。 スーツケースの重さをはかる物がなかったので空港ではかるしかなく不便だった。 ##### AKEMI Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Juntaro 7 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities トイレとシャワーと手洗いが一体化していて使いづらい。ベッドや清潔さ、場所は申し分ないです ##### Juntaro Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Koichi 3 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service キャリーケースを開けれないくらい狭く、シャワールームもトイレの隣にありトイレは濡れます。ただ、立地と清潔感、値段考慮すると良かったと思います。 ##### Koichi Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### emiko 8 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 立地も良く 移動しやすかったです。 ##### emiko Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ##
