Location is one of the best consider the price which is very affordable. I stay for 5nights however as they do not have many rooms, I think just 1-3 rooms per room types, they tend to sold out quite fast, which for my case, I have to change room type 3 times for the 5 nights stay.
Some room is very small, which is expected for the price and the location. Plus point is that, a huge window to look outside. Room heating is also good during winter time, also room is clean and tidy.
Only negative is that as I have to check out at 12pm and re check in again at 3pm if u have different room type, and staff may have different instructions on where to store your luggage. However they will bring it luggage to the room once it’s available which is good. Overall, for that pricing, no complaints.

I was a tad surprised 😯 when I saw my room. Room 508 was super minimalist - everything was function able. The loo was next to the shower. It was kinda tricky getting the right temperature for a shower. There's a fridge. Bedsheets are clean and bright. There was no funky or musty smells. Laundry is available free on level 3 and 4. Detergent can be bought for 1000 krw on the 2nd level - just make sure to adjust the dryer temperature to 50-70 degrees celsius. I especially like the Mei Tofu eatery below Ziyolk - the owner is Korean Chinese - lunch and dinner are sumptuous for around 11k to 18k krw. Just avoid peak periods around 11.30am onwards and 6.30pm if you're shy, introverted and dislike noise. All in all it's a stupendous deal to stay for cheap in a tiny room.

Location: The location is very convenient, with direct subway access to Gimpo Airport and KSPO. Namsan Tower is also right nearby.
Hygiene: Overall, it was very good. The hotel interior was also clean.
Usage: Every time I wanted to use the elevator, I had to scan a new QR code that popped up to get it to work. Since I used it frequently, I found it a bit cumbersome, but it definitely makes it much more secure.
Facilities: I booked a bunk bed and I was on the top bunk. At first, climbing up hurt my feet, and then I realized the ladder was rusty and broken. However, since I was only there to sleep at night and was out all day, I didn't bother changing rooms. So, you might want to take some time to inspect it. The second picture might show it more clearly.

My stay at Cube Guest House was nothing short of extraordinary, it truly felt like a home away from home in every sense. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with such warmth and genuine kindness that it immediately set the tone for an unforgettable experience.
The owner of the guest house deserves special recognition. Their hospitality goes far beyond what you would normally expect, he was incredibly kind, attentive, and always willing to help with anything I needed. It didn’t feel like I was just a guest; it felt like I was being personally cared for. That level of sincerity is rare and made a lasting impression on me.
The atmosphere of the guest house itself is perfect, comfortable, cozy, and thoughtfully designed to make you feel completely at ease. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and organized with great attention to detail. It created such a relaxing environment that it was easy to unwind after a full day exploring the city.
The location is absolutely ideal. Situated in Itaewon, you’re surrounded by an incredible variety of restaurants, cafés, shops, and convenience stores. There’s always something to do, see, or try just steps away. At the same time, the guest house is tucked away just enough to provide a peaceful and quiet retreat when you need rest. It’s the perfect balance.
What really stands out is how seamless and enjoyable the entire stay felt. Every small detail was taken care of, every interaction was pleasant, and everything worked exactly as it should. It’s the kind of place where you don’t have to think about anything, you can just enjoy your time.
This wasn’t just a good stay, it was genuinely special. If I could rate it 1000/10, I would without hesitation. I would come back here again and again and again, and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone looking for comfort, warmth, and an exceptional experience in Seoul while on a budget.
Cube Guest House is not just a place to stay, it’s a place that makes you feel at home, even when you’re far away. I can’t wait to return.

Great hotel! Convenient location right beside Chungmuro station. Clean and spacious room, it was easy to open my very large suitcase. It can be a bit noisy in the hallway at times, especially when someone is slamming their doors or when the cleaners are vacuuming close by.
Other than that, very convenient: helpful front desk, wow pass machine and luggage scales (accurate!) on the first floor. I was also able to store my luggage there free of charge for about 3 days before my check-in.
Overall a very nice place to stay!

I had a generally good experience until I encountered an issue with the facility. The hostel is promoted as a women-only space, yet I was surprised to see a man sitting at the front desk and walking around the dorm, near the shower room. While I understand a man can be stationed at the front desk, I don’t think it’s appropriate for him to be walking around the floors where the rooms are, especially near the shower area and even sleeping inside the same floor as the female guests. He was actually sleeping directly in front of Room A, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
To ensure a safe and private environment for female guests, I believe the shower room should either be relocated to a more isolated area or kept separate from the main lobby. If men are present on the same floor, the layout should be reconsidered for privacy, perhaps by having a common area or a separate designated space for shared amenities. This would enhance the experience and comfort of those staying here. 전반적으로 좋은 경험이었지만 시설에서 문제가 있었습니다. 이 호스텔은 여성 전용 공간으로 홍보되었지만, 저는 프론트 데스크에 앉아 있는 남자와 샤워실 근처를 돌아다니는 남자를 봤습니다. 프론트 데스크에 남자가 있는 건 이해할 수 있지만, 그가 여성 객실이 있는 층을 돌아다니고, 샤워실 근처에서 활동하는 것은 적절하지 않다고 생각합니다. 특히 그는 A호 앞에서 자고 있었기 때문에 매우 불편했습니다.
여성 투숙객들을 위한 안전하고 개인적인 환경을 보장하려면, 샤워실을 더 격리된 곳으로 옮기거나 로비와 분리해야 한다고 생각합니다. 만약 남자가 같은 층에 있을 경우, 프라이버시를 위해 레이아웃을 재고해야 하며, 공용 공간이나 다른 공간을 마련하는 것이 좋습니다. 이는 투숙객들의 경험과 편안함을 향상시킬 것입니다

GGuest User2026.03.29
The location is quite convenient, close to the orange subway line, bus stops, and the bus to Incheon Airport.
The capsule isn't too cramped. However, the shower room, dressing/makeup area, and toilets are quite dirty. In the mornings, many guests use the restrooms and sinks, so there's often a queue.
The trash chutes are full, and the cleaning staff only comes between 11 AM and 4 PM. Sometimes the toilet paper runs out. The toilets have bidets, but if the weather is cold, the water from the bidet is freezing, making it almost unusable.
There's limited luggage storage, so bags often end up in the hallway in front of the elevator. When there are many guests, the entire hallway is filled with luggage.
There's no lobby area to sit and relax.
I love this place !!! I really meant it.Its easy to find and everything in the room completely perfect & perfectionist! I would love to repeat here again and again even for my long stay also this place become my first choice after this.Dont feel hesitate to stay here bcause i think this is the first place that VERY CLEAN ENOUGH , got tv , good wifi connection,aircond , fan, hot water,mini fridge,hairdryer & hair straightener!!

Mmanubn882025.05.13
The pros:
Just 5 minutes walk to the Hyehwa station
Very clean room
Breakfast and ice cream are unlimited
The location is very good with plenty of restaurants and Shops
Cons:
Can’t wear shoes inside the hotel and need to carry them. This creates an insane amounts of inconvenience
Overpriced rooms. On some Korean websites the price for the same room is half
Only the shower is there in the room. So need to use the shared toilet which has a weird lock that doesn’t really lock and can be opened from the outside by anyone as it’s not a real lock. This creates an insane amounts of inconvenience.
Poor soundproofing. I could literally hear what my neighbours are talking and hear people walking around in the all the night
There’s no windows at all
This makes it very hard to sleep
I don’t think I will ever stay here again unless there’s no other choice
Very Good

Great
GGuest UserLove the location. Smack in the middle of Hongdae and easily accessible to Hongik University Metro station and to all the hip and bustling korean eateries!. Alot of shopping including a few Olive Youngs, medicube and Blue Elephant on the same street. Spoilt for choice for young and hipster fashion as well as slightly higher end retail along the main roads. Hotel service is great and service staff have been very helpful. General cleanliness of the hotel room is good and chamberlady will refill the bottles of water and change the towels punctually everyday. There is a mini gym and a chinese dim sum restaurant inside the hotel and a very good beef soup just directly opposite the hotel which we had on our last day before getting a cab to the airport.
TTharunKlWe had an exceptional stay at Nine Tree Premier Hotel Insadong by Parnas. The biggest highlight is its unbeatable central location everything you could possibly need is right at your doorstep. From shopping and great food options to easy access to buses and the subway, it truly doesn’t get more convenient than this.
The hotel is modern, very clean, and well-maintained, making it perfect for a comfortable stay, especially when traveling with family. The vibrant Insadong area adds even more charm, with plenty to explore just by stepping out.
The staff were professional, friendly, and always ready to assist, which made our experience seamless.
While it’s not overly pricey, it offers excellent value for money and is absolutely worth what you pay.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Seoul!
GGuest UserThe hotel boasts convenient transportation. You can take the airport bus to and from the airport, and the drop-off point is also where you catch the return bus, which is super handy. I took bus 6015 and got off at Myeongdong Station. After getting off, you'll see Subway Exit 8. Head towards Exit 8, and at the first intersection, turn right and walk straight. (Make sure you don't go past the CU convenience store; it's actually right opposite Exit 8.) It's quite close, just a few hundred meters walk. The hotel is also very close to our embassy, which gave me extra peace of mind. Every morning, I could see the embassy from my window seat. The room was a bit small; opening a 28-inch suitcase made it feel a bit cramped, but the hotel's cleanliness was good. The soundproofing was excellent; even though it's in lively Myeongdong, it was very quiet at night, which was fantastic.
GGuest UserMy stay at HOTEL BOTANIK's Deluxe King Room in Myeongdong exceeded my expectations. The room had a modern, apartment-style feel with brand new facilities and full amenities, making it ideal for those planning a longer stay in Seoul.
The in-room amenities were definitely the highlight. The air conditioning had a control panel for temperature adjustment, and it came equipped with an AirDresser, a washer-dryer combo, a separate fridge and freezer, an induction hob, and a microwave oven. Inside the cabinets, there was even a wine cooler, wine glasses, and mugs, giving it the feel of a small boutique apartment. Charging was also convenient, with both USB and Type-C outlets available, and the bidet toilet had a full range of functions. The bathroom featured a wet/dry separation design, and the water pressure was consistent, making for a very comfortable shower.
However, there were a few things to note:
The kitchenware provided was quite basic, with only two plates, which might be insufficient if you plan to do a lot of cooking. Also, laundry detergent wasn't provided in the room, but you could purchase it at the front desk if needed.
There are several construction sites near the hotel, but surprisingly, the soundproofing was excellent during my stay, with no noticeable noise at night. My sleep quality was quite peaceful.
Overall, this hotel is more of a ”high-functional type” accommodation. The facilities are new and highly practical, feeling more like staying in a well-designed apartment than a traditional hotel. It made for a very comfortable stay.
GgobacktonovemberThe hotel is very nice + very newly designed hotel.
Pros:
-nearby the sinsa station/area (but required around 5-7 minutes walk there)
-Big and cozy bed for two people
-Toilet with good warm water
-Good amenities
-Good space for 2 luggages to fit (big ones)
-Has a very nice cafe on the rooftop to see seoul city
-Able to see seoul towel from our room!
What to improve/Take note:
-the staff service at night can’t really speak english so sometimes I don’t understand what they say abiutbthe deposit when checking in.
-No microwave/only fridge available
-The walkway is actually on the slope/hills (the picture doesn’t show that much that the hotel is on the hill so anyone who has big luggages or on snow time it is recommended to book an uber on the winter time)
YYan-ZhengThis hotel is super close to Seoul Station, accessible from either Exit 1 or 7 (see picture 4). We had an overnight layover before catching the KTX, so staying here was incredibly convenient. You can even walk here along the Seoullo 7017 Skygarden. Plus, there's Lotte Outlets and a supermarket nearby for some shopping. We booked a family twin room with a queen bed (1.5m) and a single bed (1.1m), perfect for three people, and the space was just right. Check-out is at 12 PM, and at around 700 [currency, presumably KRW], it's really good value for money. The service was good, though we didn't get a chance to use any other facilities!
GGuest UserThis place offers a keyless entry, a kitchenette with a full size fridge/freezer, microwave and washing machine. The washing machine was on uneven ground, so it literally walks out of its compartment during the spin cycle. The place doesn't offer any crockeries, plates, cutleries or detergents for the kitchenette to be functional.
The hotel shares a lobby with another accommodation, so it can be confusing checking in. It is located close to public transport, and Myeongdong shopping street is about 10-15 min walk away or 1 bus stop.
The front desk will not call taxis for patrons, even if it's to the airport. So make sure you have k.ride setup and ready to go.
GGuest UserIt's always a nice stay here! The location is very great, olive young is downstairs , and the subway station also downstairs, it's near the airport bus stop too! They have bidet and the toilet is scpacious, the room also spacious, you can store many luggages, they have tables and chairs too for you to eat or have some work, their receptionist lobby and all the staff also very helpful during my stay, definitely recommended, not to mention they have 24h convenient store at the 3rd floor and laundry room
MmunimunitantanThe room looks exactly like the pictures. The bed was really comfortable and clean, with no strange smells (housekeeping came daily to clean and empty the bins). The bathroom was spacious, making for a pleasant shower experience. We chose a quad room, and there was enough space to spread out my luggage. There are also lockers for valuables, but you need to bring your own padlock. The accommodation is on the third floor with no elevator, so it's a bit of a struggle if you have large luggage like I did. Also, the beds don't have curtains, which can make you feel a bit exposed. Since the room is small, any noise, like using the toilet in the middle of the night, is amplified, and I worried about disturbing others. However, for the price, I'm very satisfied! No complaints at all!
AAllysh@comfortable place...close to dongmyo flea market..have to wait for more money because it's random when walking, wash your eyes at dongmyo flea market..close to laundry..wanting to wash clothes in the middle of the night is ok..,,😂😂😂
