Strategic location, friendly staffs, clean, nice experience”

We stayed here for seven days during our winter trip and we were very satisfied. During our stay, we found that Step Inn Myeongdong has a strategic location, not only because it's in Myeongdong area, but also because it's in the middle of two subway stations, Myeongdong and Euljiro 1-ga. We stayed in bunk bed room at 14th floor. The room was really cozy and big enough for four of us. The breakfast was simple (breakfast time from 07.00 - 10.00) but for us it was delicious (bread, cereals, jams, peanut butter, butter, creamcheese, ham, cheese, honey). They provide free washing machine and drying racks that could be used. Thank you for the hospitality from the staffs. We definitely will stay here again if we have a chance to visit Seoul.

Best choice ”

We don't have any regrets in choosing Step Inn Myeongdong 1 as our home in Seoul. The location is perfect because it is located at the heart of Myeongdong. We love the view from our room which is the Namsan Tower, and the common area every floor is a plus. The breakfast is nut just a soso because it satisfy and energized the guests before starting the long day of tour. We'll definitely choose this hotel. Ten stars for us!

Great location, clean room, friendly staff, with free bfast in affordable rate”

Step Inn Myeongdong I offers a very convenient location as it is right in Myeongdong shopping district and in proximity to many tourist destinations like the N Seoul Tower, Gyeongbokgung and Deoksugung Palaces, Cheonggyecheon Stream, Insadong, Hanok Village, etc. It is also near two subway lines that can lead you to other destinations like Lotte World, Gangnam and even distant places like Everland and Nami Island. The rooms are not that big but each offers an aircon unit, hot and cold shower, automatic toilet, washing machine and tv. Breakfast is also available regularly. The staffs know how to speak in English and are friendly and accommodating. It is a great place to stay with value for money.

Great location and value for solo travelers especially students on budget”

I went to Korea last summer and had a great time staying in STEP INN. It's very clean, cozy with friendly staff who gave me recommendation of a local hair salon when I asked for it:) The location is in the center of Myeongdong and super easy to shop and go around by train. I remember I even cancelled my bookings for another hotel and continued staying here when I came back to Seoul from Bishan due to its great location near the airport shuttle bus stop. Other than that, I also happened to bump into MonstaX's mini concert near the hostel in Myeongdong on my first day staying there, walking down the street in the morning... The only drawbacks for some might be the room can be quite small. But I like cozy rooms! I feel it's good for solo travelers or students.

Great Location, Helpful Staffs, and More than Expected Facilities”

Myself together with my family, total four of us, had stayed in this hotel for 1 whole week and we had a very good experience there. Firstly, by sitting in between 2 Subway stations (Line 2 and Line 4), 5 minutes' walking distance, enable us to travel around easily. Secondly, all the staffs over there are very helpful and I personally feel that facilities they provided is over my expectation. You can find hair dryer inside your room; you can get universal power point converter on loan without deposit; and, breakfast they serve is generous enough with good varieties although it is the same for every day. In short, I strongly recommend this hotel which is situated just beside the Myeong-dong walking street in Seoul.

Excellent service, awesome location, clean room, nice view.. ”

Excellent service, awesome location, clean room, nice view.. To those who're giving the bad review.. please do not expect the 5 star accommodation where you paid for only 1 star price.. I am so satisfied and got no complain at all even the night when I stay, it's under the renovation..a little noise but it's acceptable and I believe they're trying the very best to reduce that.. It's totally value for money..will definitely return and stay back here when my next visit to Seoul..keep it up Step Inn!!

Great hotel of staycation in Seoul, SK”

The location is great and so convenient, it was at the very heart of Myeongdong area where you can find all the skin care products that you wanted. Very near to subway and airport bus stop. Street foods are just a step away when you go down at night. The Cathedral is just around the corner. The staff are very friendly and polite. It was raining and it was so cold outside when we arrived midnight at the hotel. Giving credit to Belix who assist us for easy check-in and offer coffee to warm us. The room is clean and comfortable with the full view of Myeongdong street. Good breakfast is available from 7-10am. Mr. Lee, the Manager, was very accomodating, so helpful that he offer us umbrella during that rainy day. He's friendly and very well converse in english. This hotel is very affordable and i will highly recommend this to our friends and other family members. I will definitely stay here again once i go back to Seoul, South Korea again. Thank you, i have a great stay in South Korea.

Well recommend”

This is my third time in Seoul but this is the first time I choose a hostel instead of hotel. I can tell Philstay is nothing worse than a 2-3 stars hotel. The location is really excellent! It is easily reached from the Royal Hotel airport bus station. It takes around 5 minutes to the Eujiro 1(il)-ga station or the Myeongdong station. There are many shops, convenience store and restaurants near Philstay. The room is clean but a bit small. We are luckily upgraded to a family room from a twin room we booked. We can just open two large luggages in the family room without space left. So I think we can't do this in a twin room. However, the room is comfortable. We highly appreciate that Philstay prepared Hong Kong plugs for us in the room. The staff are all helpful! We found a sauna shop online but we are not sure about the price and details, the staff help to call the shop immediately.

Excellent”

Since it's at the heart of Myeongdong, the location is very convenient and accessible - within the shopping area, a few steps away from the street food, in front of a 7-Eleven and Starbucks, and near the Myeongdong Cathedral. The room, although quite cramped, has all the necessary amenities - and, if not available, can be easily borrowed from the hotel. It's perfect for short-term travelers whose schedules are jam-packed with tours that require them to be out of the hotel most of time - the accommodations and services that they provide are just enough for a good night's sleep and a warm bath. The staff are very helpful in showing the way to the train/bus stations - which are mostly accessible on foot. Will definitely recommend to friends and family who are looking for affordable accommodations in Seoul. I wouldn't mind staying there when I visit again.

SUPER VALUE FOR MONEY”

We stayed in this hotel last May 18 to 21, 2019. Its proximity to EVERYTHING Myeongdong is unbelievable. Staff is polite and reliable. If we were to return again to Korea, Step Inn Myeongdong 1 will be my top hotel of choice.

Cozy hotel with very good location”

We loved our stay at Step Inn, the location was just awesome, we just needed to walk for a few minutes to get to two subway lines. The hotel is at the heart of Myeongdong, very easy to find. We enjoyed our daily breakfasts, and we appreciated getting the food and cleaning up on our own. The beds are a bit hard but we found it good for our backs. The only con is that you can hear every bit of noise in the room, especially when guests are having breakfast in the morning. But I'd gladly stay here again😊

Exceptional”

I love STEP INN Myeongdong so much, from their staff (very kind and helpful), to the room (clean, safe and huge) and the location is perfect and very accessible to everything. I would definitely be back and will stay here again! I highly recommend this hotel to everyone. You will never regret it :)

Contented and happy guest”

Pros: 1. Simple but filling breakfast is provided 2. Well maintained rooms 3. Accomodating and happy to help staffs 4. Good location Cons: 1. Room and bathroom is on the smaller side. If the shower area can be enclosed, better. Although this is probably the trend in the area Suggestion: provide variety for breakfast even just the meat. Probably not ham all the time. Overall : We felt taken cared of for the whole duration of our stay with you. All the little things that were provided, from the breakfast, the towels, slippers, and the small little things made your guests feel that their needs and conveniences are important. Thank you very much Step Inn Myeondong 1. Keep up the good work. Until next time....

Exceptional”

It is the second time we booked here in Step Inn, Myeongdong. The facilities and rooms are clean. The owner and the staff are friendly and accommodating when you have questions. It is located in the shopping district and is also near bus stops and subway stations.

Good location and great value for money”

The location is nearly in the middle of Myeongdong shopping area. When you walk out you go straight to the street food and a lot of small little shops. Walking distance to the nearest tube station is short. The room and bathroom was clean. The space was fine for 3 people. Luggage could be stored under the bed. Breakfast was included (it was very simple, toast or corn flakes with tea, coffee, milk and juice). This was served in the lobby. There is washing facilities to wash your clothes which was free and you could get a drying rack from the lobby. This was a very self served accommodation. You could get new towels whenever you want and there was a "kitchen" facility on the floor free for use. They cleaned the room once during the stay, and you can choose when they come to clean (don't think they changed the sheets, but that didn't bother us). This was very cheap and really great for the price. Would stay here next time as well. A bonus we had a great view of the Seoul tower.

Great Location!”

Needless to say about the location, you have Lotte & Shinsegae duty free within walking distance. Step Inn occupies at least 12, 14, 15 floors (there's no 13th floor!) of the building. Breakfast areas on 12th & 15th floor with simple spread of bread/toast, egg, ham, milk, orange juice, coffee w/ coffee bean machine and assorted tea bags. Just wash up after yourself. Stayed on 14-6 on my 1st night, I would say I slept comfortably. The dorm is clean but very very small, only enough space for 1 luggage to be open at any one time. Privacy blind, 2 power points, hangers, light provided for every bed. Toilet is small, I would touched the corners diagonally if I just stretch out my arms. Tap on the sink and shower are integrated into one, so at any one time, you can either turn on shower or tap but not both. There are metal shelf & cabinet above the toilet for you to put clothing/toiletries. + there's a hair dryer.

We had a nice time!”

Aside from the location that is so near to the Myeongdong Street food and beauty products store, facilities are clean and staff can understand and can speak english. So, all in all we had a nice time checking in with Step inn. And one thing more that we can give a thumbs up is for being accommodating, approachable and being helpful of the people at the information desk. Thank you! We will definitely recommend this to our friends! Keep it up!😊

Value for money”

Great staff service. They responded to every need quicly from online booking to the actual stay. The cafe lobcy where breakfast is taken on self service provides the flexibility to the guests. We loved the free-flowing brewed and instant coffee and tea! Location is perfect, too. It lies within the food street and shopping stalls and malls. What we love best is that it's walking distance to the Myeongdong Cathedral where english mass is held at 9am every Sunday. I highly recommend Stay Inn Myeongdong especially for cool and non-fussy travellers.

2nd time staying and still good ”

I'd like the location of Step Inn MD for it's proximity to everything I like... shopping, airport limousine, my fav seolnongtang, etc. Appreciate the free breakfast, korean tea and hot drinking water in the common areas. Single room with bunk bed (accessed by ladder) has well placed power & usb outlet next to it, but may be too close to the ceiling for most people (even shorty me hit the ceiling a few times). My only minor complaints: 1) The 4 steps up and down to street level were still challenging for me with my heavy luggage 2) Room was too warm for meduring winter (stand-alone aircon in the room didn't help much)

Daebag!”

We had a great time staying at Step Inn. Reception is 24/7 so we had no problem checking in even though we arrived past midnight. I like the idea of asking the customers if they need toothbrush (instead of having it available in the room) since most travelers (at least those I know) almost always bring their own toothbrushes. We somehow help save the environment by not availing/using the free toothbrush. The receptionist also offered adaptor without us asking for one (we also brought our own). There's three of us in the group but we booked a family room (good for four) as we needed space for our luggage (we tried to travel light but we failed miserably!). Room is clean. Small but clean. The family room had all the basic amenities and toiletries. There's a mini ref (tho we never used it, too cold for cold drinks) and a hair dryer (yey!). Breakfast is the same every day but its all good! Staff are awesome! It was a great stay and I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!
