Its a small space but that was expected. Its exactly as described. Typical all in one combined shower toilet. Very limited space for opening luggage. I had 2 twin beds but placed one luggage on one bed to be able to function and pack. Location is the best part. Ideally in Myeongdong and right near the station and bus stops. Shopping was easier when I could easily drop off bags then go back to shopping. I booked this place as my departure hotel when I did my shopping haul and it worked out well. Except for the maneuvering luggage to pack in the small room. I cant imagine sharing the space with anyone. It was just me and I barely fit comfortably with two check-in bags and a carry-on.

Provided breakfast was decent, especially its free. Best seaweed soup I've ever had, I went back for seconds!

The accommodations and staffing were beyond exceptional. We had booked this place after the recommendation of a friend who had stayed here last year and would easily recommend it to new any returning travelers. They are really good a accommodating your needs, and in our case we had a red eye flight and would check in around 0300 which was past their normal check in time but we had reached out and they had someone there to help us, which we were extremely grateful for. The location is unbelievable as you are next to the train station and bus stop which made it easily accessible. Not to mention that the food stalls that come out at night are only a few feet away from the front door, but not close enough that the sound would reach you. Easily would recommend and will definitely be returning in the future.

My heart and Seoul

I loved it here!!!!!!

It markets itself as a hostel but having stayed at hostels and hotels...it offers far more than any hotel I have stayed at for that price point

There are FREE washing machines on each floor with detergent and clothes racks provided.

Free breakfast is offered. I have seen some people complain about having to wash your plate but you are getting a free meal ; it is the least you can do. You are going to be washing a plate, cup and cutlery (that's like 3 mins work get over yourselves!)

The bathroom has an unusual set up by western standards in that the wet room has your toilet and shower in the same space but its not that deep. Anyone can figure out how to turn the showerhead so that you keep the water getting on the toilet to a minimum. It is also not unique to 57 Myeongdong as have seen this design in Malaysia and Singapore in actual hotels.

I cannot wait to return here as the location is crazy central. What more do you want from being right on Myeongdong. The station is 3 - 5 mins walk away and in terms of shops for beauty, food and clothing they are on the doorstep. You go downstairs and turn right and there you are.

Shout out to Joon I think who put up with my food questions and to the old man who manned the door when I arrived on Fri 19. When I was going out late he made sure I had the code and checked I could get back in as he wouldnt be there on my return. I miss Seoul

This is a great place to stay. Close to subway station Exit 5. Convent to take the Airport Limousine Bus back to Incheon airport, located close to Exit 9 of the subway.
The reception area needs new carpet. Either it’s stained really bad or needs cleaning.
My room was two twin beds with street and roof top views.
The bed is the hardest bed I’ve ever sleep in. I asked for a mattress topper(duvet). It didn’t help so I went across the street and bought two yoga mats. Still was to hard for my hip joint.
Staff is friendly. Has a breakfast buffet every day.
They will store luggage if you get there too early.

If you're tight on money, this isn't a bad place to stay. However, if you aren't, I recommend staying somewhere nicer. The location of the hostel is actually quite nice because there are a lot of dining/shopping options and public transportation right near by. Although, I think the biggest problem with this hostel are the bathrooms inside of each room. They are very crammed, and when you shower, splashing water all over the place (e.g., onto the toilet) is inevitable. Also, the walls seem to be paper-thin; I could hear the person next door cough as if there wasn't a wall there. Lastly, don't let the photos of the breakfast on their website fool you - the actual breakfast did not look like that. One positive thing I will say is that the front desk person was very helpful and kind.

Nice Place, Great Staff, Better Kitchen Please

Nice hotel in a great local. The staff were kind and attentive.

There was a troubling aspect to my stay, however. The common area saw breakfast served with guests tasked with cleaning their dishes. I noticed several guests not using soap and only giving their cups, dishes, and utensils a cursory rinse under the water. NO SOAP! The staff then told me that no further cleaning/disinfecting was done. THIS IS VERY TROUBLING DURING A HEALTH CRISIS. Anyway, I made sure to wish my cup beforehand after that.

The dinning area is open at all hours and we could have free coffee and tea, use their crockery for our take away, subject to us washing up of course.

The only thing I could not get use to is the tiny bathroom. Its even smaller than the bathrooms in Japan. The door is literally at my knees when I sit on the toilet and I am 5 foot 5\".

Budget hostel - not for the fussy

First of all, you have to set your expectation right. This is a hostel, not a hotel. Don't expect hotel comfort and service. Even though it does look a bit like a hotel, it certainly is not a hotel. There is no hotel lobby. You enter the hostel through an old office building and take the lift to 13 floor to the reception. The staff in this hostel speak fluent English and are friendly and helpful. The room is super tiny - the smallest room I have ever stayed in. For two person, it will be really cramp and if you have two big luggage, you will not have any space to walk.The toilet is even worse. It is at most 1.5m by 1.5m. There is basically no shower area. You have to shower in front of the basin and so your toilet will be all wet. You cannot throw toilet paper into the toilet bowl and will have to throw it in the bin. For room service and cleaning, you have to inform the hostel staff for them to clean your room. The walls are not concrete wall, they are false wall with soundproofing. Hence, you will be able to hear your neighbour talking. The breakfast is really simple (some bread, salad, corn soup) and you will be very disappointed if you are expecting a buffet spread. Having said all these, you will be able to save half your hotel lodging fees compared to the hotels nearby. The price is very affordable and the room is generally new and clean. The location is extremely convenient near to subway station and airport bus stop. Myeongdeong shopping street is below the hostel.

Our stay here at Philstay Meyongdong station is excellent. Not only the location is great, their rooms were also cleaned well. The staff at the hostel are also very friendly. They try their best to help you when you need something (even if you need some travel advice while your in South Korea). Although the bathroom is a little bit small, but considering the price and location, staying at Philstay Myeongdong station is worth it. We also liked the breakfast served to use every morning.

Outside the hotel was full of shops and restaurants that one can visit. There are even a lot of street food vendors nearby. For late night snack, one can easily visit the convenience store below (CU) or visit the McDonald right across the street.

Note: There are two Philstay Myeongdong nearby. This one is located near Myeongdong station main road. Take Exit 5 of Myeongdong station and just walk forward until you see a corner (CU convenience store) and turn right onto that street. Philstay Myeongdong hotel is located just beside the convenience store.

What you pay for is what you get

Philstay is extremely accessible to the rows of shops which is flooded by throngs of people wvery night. Cosmetics, food outlets, convenience stores, apparel outlets, you name it, they have it.

One must definitely note that this is a Bed and Breakfast and not a hotel, so one ought to twerk their standards accordingly as well. The rooms are a tad small, bathroom is astonishingly small, whenever you shower, water seeps out of the cubicle (yes, cubicle) the floor would be wet as there's no partitions between the showering and washing up area. Wifi signals are good if you manage to connect as they drop very frequently.

But considering the price, location and that it offers breakfast, I'd still swallow all these complains and book this B&B

Good Stay, Awesome Location

New hotel, clean and equipped with practical facilities like the mini washing machines. Rooms was a tad small and becomes cramp with luggage opened up, but for the price it was acceptable. Best part of this hotel was its location, hard to beat with similar hotels. Checked-in 3 times into this hotel, some mix up with the reservation of the rooms as i requested rooms with city view, but was given rooms without windows instead upon arrival although it was confirmed 2 mths ahead. Other than that, it was a good stay.

Small room, tiny bathroom in a fabulous location

Philstay Myeongdong Station just opened a couple of months back, so everything's new. It's housed in a commercial building that's at the intersection of main street Toegye-ro and alley Myeongdong 2-gil. If you take the subway, it's really convenient. Not so convenient if you take taxi, as the drivers couldn't find the building's location, even with the building's address and a GPS system.

I was assigned a window-less room so small that fit only a double bed and a small dresser/refrigerator with just enough space for my 29\" suitcase. The air-cooler was really strong, and blew right into me all the time, freezing my butt off even in summer temperatures. I switched on the air cooler just to cool down the room every time I returned to the room.

A sink, shower and toilet was cramped into a tiny bathroom, and felt a little claustrophobic even for me, a petite, skinny female. The walls are thin, so do bring your earplugs if it's full house. This property has 4-5 mini washing machines, and even provides detergent and racks to dry clothes. The staff can speak English and Mandarin/Putonghua, and were friendly, even taking time to answer the many questions I had.

I got a really good deal for a double room for this trip, and I would stay here again, if the price per night is less than US$40.

明洞繁華街のほぼ中心にあるので、帰りの心配がなくてとても良いです。買い物をしてもすぐに荷物を置きに戻れるのでとても使いやすかった。設備が少し古く、部屋も広くはないが安めの料金設定で納得できるのでおススメです。

旅館鄰近明洞地鐵站，搭機場巴士亦近，每天都有早餐食很好。設施環境可能已多年，已經有比較殘舊，冷氣機塵埃比較多，廁所多黴菌痕跡，房裏面沒有櫈，可能多數坐床床一邊已經開始傾斜，入住前先要畀按金走的時候可取回。
以前已住過，所以今次體驗比較深及有對比，清潔方面真的要仍須努力，其他方面都好不錯，下次還會首選入住。
