OYO Hostel Myeongdong 3

Awesome hostel to stay at in Myeongdong! The staff were very communicative, kind, and helpful. I appreciated all of the instructions, both before the stay and on site. The laundry service is a game changer. Beds were extremely comfy. The breakfast in the morning was also really nice; helped to recharge/get ready for the day with something light. The density of Myeongdong was a little overwhelming since it was my first time there, so I did have trouble finding the hostel at first. My advice is to watch the YouTube video they send out in the instructions to navigate through the building up to the rooms! Very helpful. If you are taking a taxi and arrive at a busy time of day, you may also have to have to stop a ways outside of the neighborhood and walk. The foot traffic in the streets is dense.

We loved the location of the Hostel. Place itself was ok. Room was nice and clean but the bathroom was really small. Not too much choices for breakfast. Staff was ok.

I love staying at Oyo3 when I go to Korea. Great location. I particularly like the open space right outside the rooms

Wonderful staff - super-friendly and kind; all fluent in English. Great location, amidst hubbub of Myeondong, but also not right on main street. Do not stay here if you do not like crowds or a Times Square atmosphere. Easy walkable access to numerous shops, sights (eg. DDP, Prison Museum, City Hall; food markets, etc., and even cathedral). Safe area, can go out late at night with minimal concerns (in general, safe country!). Close to public transpo lines. Compact room; small, wet washrm (wetrooms are convention in Korea) marginally larger than a plane lavatory; would be much better if door swung out and not inwards into an already tiny washrm, which would likely make it challenging for larger people to negotiate that space. Appreciated presence of recycling bins, and absence of single-use toiletries and disposable slippers. Would be extra nice to address super-drafty windows and avoid repetitive distribution of rules (emailed/texted pre-arrival, then reviewed with staff and also unnecessarily printed out on arrival, AND also a copy in room. It is a lot; one time/copy is enough for the majority of us who will abide by them.) Thank you for a nice stay!
