Soul Majatalot

Plussat: I checked in late at night, but even without the reception the check in process was quick and easy. For the price paid, the travel house was definitely a great choice considering I had my own bed and private bathroom. Even though the space was small, it had everything I needed. The staff were really friendly and helpful too. I like the fact that there's a laundry area on the rooftop so you don't need to go out and do laundry elsewhere.

Plussat: Everything about Boa is super convenient. Staff: extremely friendly and helpful. I will be forever grateful for their help with my luggage problem. location: From hongik station you can go to main attractions and to the airport. There's a grocery shop, convenient store, cafes and restaurants near by. Halal food restaurant available: yummy halal food prepared in front of you. There's a spacious well equipped kitchen you can buy groceries and cook for yourself. Its very calm and safe. I highly recommend it especially for solo female muslim travelers.

Plussat: I liked the location. The building was secure.

Miinukset: I did not like that staff is not there 24/7 like they used to be, so now I cannot hold my bags past 4PM. This room was a lot smaller than the one I had previously. The layout was a little different. The bathroom did not air out well at all even with the window open so my towel never fully dried and when I washed clothes and hung it, it did not dry and got stink. There's not much room for opening luggage.

Plussat: It is everything you need. Comfortable bed, private bathroom, AC and Heat, TV, and fridge. Great location between hongdae and shinchon! Will be stating here next time traveling to Seoul.

Plussat: There is everything you need, like scale for luggage, kitchen, ironing tool, etc., very convenient. nice staff. You have to walk up the hill a little. It was very clean.

Miinukset: Kitchen missing some things, like not enough chopsticks. Some sockets in the room didn’t work.

Plussat: The staff are very nice. The location is perfect close to the city center.

Miinukset: The thing that I wasn't happy with is I have stayed for two weeks but I haven't been offered to clean my room for only once. Instead the administration will ask you to pay extra money for the service.

Plussat: Very Helpful staff! Great value for Money. The Location is very near the station and hongdae.

Plussat: good prefered for muslim family .they had utensils cooking for muslims and surau at rooftop

Miinukset: surau at rooftop dont have heater.during cold weather its not comfortable to pray.other than that,everything its fine.

Plussat: The location is strategic!

Miinukset: It would be better if the Halal Restaurant is operating. I don't really like when they have specific time to use the iron and the walls is not soundproof. I can hear clearly the sound of water from the next room & it kinda disturb my sleep

Plussat: Curtains on the beds ftw

Plussat: Walk 8 mins from Hapjeong station. 15 mins walk to Hongdae area. That's all I like about it.

Miinukset: This place wasn't clean and quite disgusting. One of the staff was rude. The restroom are not clean and there aren't enough for everyone to use it conveniently. 16 people for just 1 restroom is ridiculous. The dryer was broken. The sheet and blanket smell like unwashed... so it makes me feel disgusting all the time. An air conditioner is hidden in one of beds in a dorm room. The air flow is not okay and it feels like I couldn't breath. It's cold from outside instead of air conditioner. It's not expensive but at least please have clean place. I have been to many hostel and this is the worst one. I don't know why this place got high score.

Plussat: beautiful place, comfortable for staying, easy to go anywhere because it was closed to train station and other public transportation. quite at night .. and all the staffs were friendly and nice people. loved this place.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Staff attitude Warm welcome Powerful shower Rooftop

Miinukset: Unpleasant smell in lavatory

Plussat: the breakfast are rich. the staff are really nice. the room is really good. the location close to hongdae but not that really close so we still not that close from crowd and it give a secure and comfortable fell.

Plussat: I like that the hostel has an elevator, a dining room, a kitchen, stoves and washing machines. The hostel is near to the airport bus shuttle. The hostel is near a subway. The hostel is in the middle of Myeongdong shopping area. The room comes with basic toiletries.

Miinukset: what can be improved: 1) To provide a dryer or more space to hang the clothes during peak hours. 2) not to control the AC room temperature, let the occupants decide on the AC temperature. Some rooms cannot open the windows because it is facing the BBQ restaurant and the smell of the BBQ can be very suffocating for the room occupants. 3) more information to get halal food. 4) make sure the receipt paper is always available when one is paying by card.

Plussat: It was easy to move from Incheon International Airport to Stay 7 Hostel by bus 6015 (cost 15 000WON and duration 1,5h). Bus stop (next to Tous Les Jours cafe) is just 5min walk to hostel. Property located in busy Myeongdong shopping street so we did drag our huge luggages among other people to reach accommodation :D Our twin room was small but got everything needed. As we had rented pocket wifi right away when landed so we didn't use hostel's wifi at all. Self service breakfast was basic with bread, ham, egg, cup noodle, cereal, juice, coffee and tea. For moving around Myeongdong station is just around the corner. All in all Stay 7 Hostel Myeongdong is a really good value for money hostel although room was small and breakfast basic but the location is just perfect! Also getting there from airport and moving around Seoul is so convenient. Highly recommend!

Miinukset: Room size was a little bit small.

Plussat: The breakfast has unlimited eggs, sandwiches, ramen, ham, coffee, cereals, milks and drinks. However there are kitchen hours limitation so plan your schedule well. Also, the hotel was just a minute away from the Myeongdong shopping area. Very convenient location. Laundry is free too.

Miinukset: We informed the staff in advance that we will checkin late. There are two key cards in the storage and did not know which room to pick, luckily we entered the correct room upon checkin the next day. Also, bathroom has a bad smell maybe because of the curtain dividing the toilet from the shower head.

Plussat: Location was perfect just at the heart of Myeongdong shopping district. Staff was friendly and helpful and easy to talk to. Facilities were ok - shared kitchen where you cook your own eggs for breakfast. Toast, cereals and noodles available too! Nothing fancy but it was more than enough for us. Hot/cold drinking water available outside of room. The room was clean and cleaned every 3days. Just a note also that the bed mattress is quite firm which I think is the norm in Korea. We didn't mind it at all because we were out most the day and just tired when we get back to the hostel at night and just slept. Overall it was a great value for money. We booked the 4 person room for the 3 of us so we could have a bit more space. Hostels tend to be smaller in Seoul in general.

Miinukset: Breakfast available from 7-10 am but around 9 - 9:30am food starts running out. Not too bothered by it but just a note.

Plussat: location very good, clean, staff

Miinukset: towel too small, couldnt put our luggage

Plussat: Its hard to find if u don’t know how to use the map :D ... but the best location best facilities .. small rooms but comfy..

Miinukset: Security.. coz the door is just open.. anyone can enter the hostel..

Plussat: Location is great. Good shampoo and conditioner.

Miinukset: Small towels. No curtains in the room. Some covers of plugs teared out from the wall. A lot smokers around building areas and Bulgogi restaurant has some food smell up to our room.

Plussat: Location was good. In the heart of Myeongdong, surrounded by shoppings and food.

Miinukset: The place was exceptionally small.

Plussat: It’s easy to locate and is close to all the good shops in the area. The facilities were all clean and good as well.

Plussat: Room was very well lit and the bathroom was renovated

Miinukset: Room literally smelled like a sewer Room was right beside the elevator and refused to move us even though there was other rooms available

Plussat: Great location, full of restaurants around and convenient to get the stations. Nice staff.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: My room was near to the kitchen, all sounds comes to my room

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Eoom extremely small. Smaller than what it shows in pictures

Plussat: I like that it’s clean and easy access to the subway. Most all the staff is awesome.

Plussat: good location friendly staff

Miinukset: room really VERY Small, no window to outside, only to the corridor, gehts hot and stifling - probably not very suitable for Europeans!!

Plussat: Lovely Place. Homely Common Area and Nice Breaky. Convenient store is located on 1min distance. Cleanness , Location , Staff all was good enough for me. -Cheers

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The location between two well linked subway lines was fantastic and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The communal areas were really nice and the option to make breakfast helped keep the costs down. If the weather had been better then the terrace would have been great. Little touches like free to borrow umbrellas and tourist information really made this a wonderful place to stay in Seoul.

Miinukset: The wet room didn't drain particularly well with the drain being a little smelly at times-everywhere in Seoul seemed to suffer after heavy rain. For the reasonable price you don't expect a large room but it was frustrating that there was no storage at all.

Plussat: staff were nice and helpful. the room was clean and tidy. nice palce in Seoul.

Miinukset: took about 10 minutes or so to get to the metro.

Plussat: I’ve stayed here for 13 nights and it was a really great guest house. It’s located in a perfect location and in a very quite street. The girl who checked me in was very kind. I also liked the room, which was a twin room and it was quite bigger than I expected! and the guesthouse is really clean !!

Miinukset: - Well what I didn’t like was that randomly one of the staff members woke us up by knocking on the door and came in the room unattended to check the air conditioning ( Which was not allowed to be used even when I asked , But I was told to just open the window ) And of course that didn’t happen just once but twice l.,Which was quite annoying. - The Wifi was very slow in the room

Plussat: Good location, big room and clean

Miinukset: Noisy at late midnight until early morning

Miinukset: We had some issues trying to pack initially so we apologized to the front desk and told them to give us a little more time to organise our stuff. The lady at the front desk started screaming at me despite me trying to explain the situation to her nicely. While I understand that there might be other bookings they might have needed to fulfill, which I would've been happy to work around, screaming at your guest is simply unacceptable. Furthermore, on the way out, one of the male staff came out of the guesthouse while holding an umbrella and pulled my boyfriend, to the point red marks were visible on his arms. We didn't know why said staff at as doing so as he refused to speak to us in English and only mumbled in Korean. He even threatened to call the police, which we only knew of after our taxi driver translated it to us. He also pulled on the taxi and tried to open the car door repeatedly to prevent us from moving off. Am all in all extremely disappointed, and have got nothing good to say about this establishment. Additionally, they only accept payment in cash which is extremely inconvenient as nobody carries that much cash around to make payment for an 8 day stay.

Plussat: This place was clean comfortable and in a good location! I would definitely go there again!

Plussat: The location is very central and also quiet.

Miinukset: They only have thick, heavy blankets, so you're either hot or cold.

Plussat: I liked the location more than anything. The staff was very helpful.

Miinukset: The electric plugs didn’t work well and the shower had a drop going on all night.
