Affordable and Comfy Accommodations with the Best Location”

I used to be a really fussy traveler and would spend so much money on accommodations that I barely spent any time in. Now, I'm more prudent when making my selections. Vestin Residence in Myeong-dong has the best location! It's literally less than 5 minutes away on foot from exit 1 of the Myeong-dong Metro Station and the airport shuttle bus is just across the street--an easy 5-7 minute walk, depending on how heavy your luggage is. I booked a single room and I found it comfortable and met my needs since I spent the majority of my time outside--the small room even comes with a mini fridge and you can get cold drinking water from the dispenser whenever you want (bottled water is expensive and bad for the environment so this is great). The staff are also very pleasant and helpful, I was very pleased with my stay here. One thing though, if you have a large or heavy suitcase, you may have a hard time during check-in and check-out as there are no elevators.

A Happy and wonderful trip”

It's a happy and wonderful trip for us in Seoul. We enjoy a nice holiday. The location is excellent for Vestin Residence Myeongdong. It's only need 5 minutes for us by walking from Seoul Mtr station to the hostle. It is easy for us to bring back our luggage from Myeongdong. HA~HA~HA~ Therefore, We very recommend others to choose the hotel when they want to travel in Seoul.

friendly staff, clean room, good location”

I had a very great time to stay in Vestin Residence Myeongdong, good location, friendly, attentive and helpful staff, clean room, good value, quiet enviornemnt, only the downside is no lift but the staff could help to carry your luggage so it shouldn't be a problem for young people, and the hotel has no attending staff between 2300 to 0730. so if check in after 2300 need to be informed staff earlier they are very good they will sort it out for you, I would defintely stay in Vestin again and would recommend to all of my friends, feels safe to stay in Vestin as a single female traveller.

Nice Location and get a BANG for your buck!”

It was our first time coming to Korea and I was able to find this hotel in Agoda and chose it because it was in Myeongdong and it had a 50% discount promo that time. The only review I saw for Vestin was in Japanese and I thought that they didn't speak much english. When we were in Vestin, we were greeted warmly by Taewoon (a guy Korean staff) and he spoke english very well. The hotel had a couple of floors only that they don't have an elevator. We stayed at the third floor and it wasn't so bad. The rooms were clean, it had a fridge, cable TV, 2 built in toilet and baths, twin beds with nice comforters and heated floors. The breakfast was great as you can choose from toast with peanut butter and jelly, free flowing coffee and tea, milk and cereal, etc. You can even stuff yourself all you want from 8am to 930am. They had a lot of Magazines and Tourist Maps so you can get what you need from there. I recommend getting the Inseoul Magazine (it has everything complete and it doesn't rip apart that easy). Taewoon also was very friendly and smart and he talked to us and we asked suggestions from him. He helped us go to where we wanted to go and it was really easy to go around Korea from his suggestions. I highly recommend staying at Vestin as the location is just very near the Myeongdong station and just behind it, you can walk towards the Namsan Seoul Tower (I would recommend just getting a taxi if you don't like walking uphill)

Affordable and convenient guesthouse”

Vestin Residence Myeongdong is about 5min walk from Myeongdong Exit 1. You just need to get used to the slight upslope path. Entrance is locate along the road so is easy to find. A young man served us and able speak basic English. Room is clean but TV is not working (didn't ask them to check since staying for 1 night). Wifi is available FOC and fitted in the individual room (Signal is strong). Bathroom is quite big (about 1/3 of room). The shower temperature is consistent. Only downside is no lift despite the Guesthouse is 5-storey high.

Near to Myeong Dong happening street”

We were given 2 options during check in. First option, stay in our existing booking room at Vestin Residence which is located on the 5th floor and we have to move our big luggage to the top floor without elevator. Second option, "down grade" to the other branch, Vestin Villa which is newer and the room and bathroom is more spacious. We decided to take the second option as we found the room in Vestin Residence is extremely small, as well as the ensuit bathroom. We understand that the Vestin Villa is located at the steep hill and we definitely have difficulties to move our luggage from vestin residence to vestin villa. The helpful staff who can speak very fluent Chinese offered us to fetch our luggage and us to Vestin Villa. A big thank to him. It is actually quite near to Myeong Dong station. But after whole day walking, you might feel it difficult to walk back to the hotel when u start walking uphill. Overall the hotel is good.

Overall was good!”

I stayed at this hostel for 10 days with my friend. We booked 1 room with 2 single bed, but what we got is 2 double bed, quite big and i thougt is enough for 2 people. Thanks Vestin, Kamsamida 😊 Pros: 1. Location is very near to subway station. Only 3 minutes from myeongdong station exit 2 or 3. 2. Location is very near to myeongdong street market 3. The price is affordable for travellers like us, semi backpacker, who wants comfort room to stay 4. There is staff to pick trash up every two days. 5. Breakfast is quite good, there is toaster and soybean milk. 6. The staff is very helpfull and patience and his english is good 7. There are many towel, hairdryer and manager gave us skincare gift, thankyouu Cons 1. There is no lift, so we have to lift up and down our baggage by ourself and we lived in 4th floor 2. You use same blanket for 10 days 3. No service for room cleaning 4. Only 1 toilet paper for 10 days Thanks

Good for reasonable play to stay in Seoul”

This hotel located on the oposite road of Myeongdong shopping street, Myeongdong station exit 1, just take 1 minute to go Myeongdong shopping street. Staffs are really friendly, we also got a small gift from hotel with warm welcome letter from hotel owner, really suprised and touched with that. They will instruct you in details how to enjoy the Seoul in best way. Room with 2 beds and saperate bathroom is good vs the price. The radiator/ floor watming machine was turned on by hotel staff and keep us not be frezzed during end of Autumn. Eventhough, it's a little bit hot, so we have to turn on the air conditioner for more cold ^^. Only one thing that may make us feel like work out everytime is no elevator. With the heavy luggages, not easy for us to bring them up to 5th floors. But the staff already said sorry about this inconvenience when we do check in, so somehow we can understand. In gerneral, this is a good hotel for your time in Seoul.

The best location! ”

Vestin Residences has the best location! You're literally just a couple of steps from Exit 1 of Myeongdong Station and the night market! The room is quite small but is good enough to get a restful sleep. The next time i visit Korea, Vestin would still be my choice of accommodation.

I will come back!”

It was my 2nd time at Vestin and I requested for a room at the 1st floor and thank you Mr.Cho for granting my request. The room is ok for 2 persons. I hope you could provide additional breakfast like noodles or cereals but the breakfast provided was ok(bread, jam, coffee and soya milk). Thank you for the welcome gift. The location is so easy to find. Just drop off from bus 6015 infront of Skypark III(Myeongdong Station)cross the road walk towards the North Face Bldg. turn left and you will see a wide alley, walk ahead and turn left again you will see Ari Guesthouse and Hotel Prince, next to them is Vest Residence. Very near to Myeongdong shopping street and Myeongdong cathedral. The staff was helpful and can even speak English. I will definitely come back here when I visit Korea.

Great”

Based on some reviews I wasn’t expecting anything but it turns out it was a perfect place for me to stay. We had the family room and it was spacious, I can even open my suitcase on the floor. They clean our room everyday and provide new towels. The receptionist are very fluent in English and very kind. It was a cozy place that you can feel at home and it did have heater!! Haha and last the best part is, it was super near the subway station exit 1 (the quieter place of myeongdong). I’ll definitely book this hotel again. Thank you for the welcome gift vestin!!!!

Will stay here again”

Checkin and checkout was a breeze. Great location in terms of proximity to airport bus stop, subway, restos, Myeongdong shopping street etc. I like the hostel in general, but I really appreciate the little things they did. We requested a room in a lower floor because my sister has bad knees and they kindly accommodated us to a 1st floor twin room. They also presented us gifts upon checkin (cosmetics). And thumbs up for providing a sort of extension cord for the room so no need for plug adapters. Room has tv, bathroom, hairdryer (yey!) and wifi router. Breakfast is just bread and a variety of spread plus coffee but it was good and filling. Receptionist is kind and communicates English well. You can leave luggage after checkout. Ps: If you are used to big bath towels, you should bring them because what they provide are smaller towels. Room size is ok for us, but would probably be too small for bigger guests. I definitely recommend Vestin and will probably book here again next time.

Clean.. Simple and close to Myeondong Subway Station”

Booking was hassle free, they were also able to accomodate adjustment on the booking date plus extra nights for us that we paid on the hotel directly. We arrived around 2am and check in was not a problem as they left us a message on their desk as well as the key. It is about 2 min walk from Daiso/Northface Building. There are restos just across the hotel that serves Korean and Japanese foods which cost less than the restos on the Myeongdong Area. Room size is just enough for the 2 of us, served the purpose just to sleep, clean and go out for tours. Breakfast was bread and peanut butter plus unlimited hot coffee/mocha drink. Drinking water is not a problem, they do have a dispenser on the ground and 3rd floor. Btw, there was also a free gift from Mr Cho (cosmetic products) and my wife loved it. Thanks Vestin. Till next time.

Nice Hostel and Clean Room”

Just exit 1 on Myeongdong Station and turn left on the 1st street then you can find the Vestin Residence. It is very close to subway and easy to walk to shopping at Myeongdong. We stayed in the Twin room that has 2 shower room inside the room. That's really great that you can use without any waiting time. The room is clean and good internet Wi-Fi. It is really great price when we booked via agoda.

Great place”

I recommend vestin residence , the place is really clean , the location is great is just one walk less a minute in all transportation , luckily got the place here on agoda its worth the price! All you need is in the room, own toilet and can sleep better. The stuffs are friendly and really good in speaking in english! Will stay again with this place in my second stay in sokor.

It was an amazing stay. For a solo traveler, it was a great choice. A very quiet place. ”

The location is very near to myeongdong station so there will be no problem going to some attractions and shopping areas by subway. It is also just a few walk to the myeongdong shopping street where you can shop and eat street foods at the same time. Overall, if you are looking for a place to stay in Seoul, choose those that are close to tourist spots, and Vestin is a good one.

Good location, affordable”

I stayed there for almost a week. The selling points of Vestin are: It's in the heart of Myeongdong shopping district, it's very accessible via Myeongdong Exit 2 and it's affordable. If you don't mind staying in a small room, then Vestin is the best place to stay. It was very cold during my stay and the manager lent me a portable heater. I did my laundry but unfortunately, Vestin had no tumble dryer so I was forced to hang my clothes in the backyard. Suggestion: the management should buy a tumble dryer for guests. The laundry was free but I don't mind paying for it so I suggest that Vestin should install coin-operated washer and tumble dryers for guests. It usually costs about 2,000 won per use per machine in other hotels. I will definitely stay at Vestin again

Convenience at its finest”

Vestin is located at the heart of Myeongdong. a. Train - just outside of the street is Myeongdong Station b. Bus - across the street is the bus stop c. Convenience store - 7-11 and Ministop are just around the corner d. Restaurants - beside Vestin are 2 local restaurants where you can eat authentic Korean food e. Shopping center - outside the street is the Myeongdong Underground Shopping Center. Across is the famous street food Alley and probably the best shopping area with all the best deals f. Staff - accommodating and approachable g. Cleanliness - probably there are other hotel guests that love some trash around, maybe they can put a signage like "Clean As You Go" h. Laundry area/Ironing area - located at a higher floor i. Internet - fast and reliable

I luv the hotel”

I luv to stay here bcozs the staff friendly, good facilities to wash cloth , hot water n microwave to reheat food. Newrby subway. Bearby halal restaurant . Across the street is myeongdong shopping street.. worth it for money.. but next time please upgrade the room wif heater inslallation to cold for 1st day arrival n lost to find the hotel.. but overall i hapie To stay there tq vestin hotel n staff

Perfect Location”

Apart from being a budget hotel where you can save a lot of money, the place is just perfect for your travel. Going to and from the airport is only by bus 6015 just across the street at Myeongdong station (Exit 6) and walk to the hotel by less than 50 meters. The fare is only W14000 compared to taxi which is around W70000. And if you go by train to and from the airport (fare almost the same with the bus)it's not ideal to bring big luggages because the airport train will stop at Seoul Station only and you have to transfer to another line (Line 4) to Myeongdong station (it's not that easy to go up and down carrying heavy luggages). Myeongdong street is a place where thousands of tourist flock the area, walking down for shopping, food and leisure. If you are a Roman Catholic, the Myeongdong Cathedral in nearby around 100 meters by walk. Two good food shops are just 10 meters away from Vestin. If you have a tight budget, try to consider Vestin.
