STEP INN Myeongdong 1 Seoul Myeong-dong Hotel Review - Check if it's a good accommodation

I am a solo traveller with 2 luggages and a duffle bag since I plan to visit different cities. The place was really cheap especially for a sharing with free breakfast. I unexpectedly saved money from buying food since I was so full in the morning. There’s milk/coffee/water/orange juice for beverage and egg, ham, bread, and cereal for food, you can also refill if you still want more. I arrived at 6am in the morning where they allowed me to store my huge luggages in the lobby side. I also used their laundry area which was also convenient. Location-wise it is in the city center at the tourist spots. Just note that there’s a few steps before the building’s lobby and a double door that may be quite challenging especially for the cold season. It’s my second time in Korea and stayed in Myeongdong due to the proximity to popular sites. I recommend trying the Michelin star noodle shop, huge tonkatsu shop, and sampgyup place in the area. For shopping, there’s alot in alot directions which are also very cheap. For makeup, Olive Yound is literally just beside the store. The Cathedral is also just near the area and its 9am for english mass. After mass, you can try the cafe across for the view and drinks!!! The staff are very friendly and accommodating to your inquires. The shared bathroom is pretty clean and it comes with the toiletries you can use and a hair blower. The toilet seat has a warmer that was perfect for my winter stay since it’s too cold inside. In the shared room of 4, it was pretty quiet, relaxing, and we actually made friends with each other. There’s also a heater inside but I remember that our door lock was broken, hopefully, its fixed, and it was in a key card form. Luggages can be stored inside the room or even the outside the room. Overall, I would recommend this for solo and group travelers!

Location is perfect! There is an olive young in the next building and the street market is right outside the building. There’s also a lucky store in the opposite side.

Nice place, had a good sleep buat the room is so small. All staff was helpfull.
