Calistar Hotel

Near to myeongdong night market and to subway stations 🙂

I was a little bit late to check in, delay by long Que in foreigner passport at airport. Luckily they wait for me. Thanks to that otherwise i will not know where to stay. Very strategic location, close to all the major tourist attractions. I plan to extend my stay but is fully booked.

Really nothing to say wow about. Just ok for Coltrane looking to meet people

Pros: ・The staff were very kind and helpful.☺️ ・Information about how to use the hotel was available in multiple languages. ・Despite the small room size, a large suitcase (around 20kg) can be opened on the floor.🧳 ・The location is excellent. The hotel is just steps away from the main street in Myeongdong, and within a 5-minute walk, you’ll find two large malls. ・The hotel is also within walking distance of Myeongdong Station.🚉 ・The lobby offers a free water dispenser and dishes that guests can use (you’ll need to wash them yourself afterward). ・Housekeeping staff come daily to exchange towels. Cons: ・The room was very small, and the upper bunk bed was only suitable for sitting upright for someone of elementary school age. ・The bedding had some dust, and there were hairs visible on the bed even before I used it.😨 ・The bathroom sink had leftover soap residue from the previous guest.🗑️ ・The shelves weren’t entirely clean either. ・The bathroom features frosted glass, but parts of it are fully transparent at the top, which might be uncomfortable for some. ・Eating and drinking in the room are prohibited. ❌🍴 Note: In South Korea, hotels generally do not provide toothbrushes or razors, so plan accordingly. Overall, this hotel is in a fantastic location and has helpful staff, but cleanliness could be improved. It’s a good choice if convenience is your top priority, but be aware of its limitations.

Some stains on sheets, no other complaint. Value for the money, 1 subway change (airport bus is a lot more costly and actual stops didn’t seem to be in line with the schedule), however long walk and wait to and from the airport so spare enough time (the airport gates in particular were really busy like an hour long wait). Convenient to the Myeongdong streets shops. Underground walks to various places like malls and markets, which not shown on google.

Booked 2 rooms for our group. Great location but the rooms were poorly kept up and the sheets and towels had horrible stains. Except for a few hours per day, staff was locked up behind closed doors to avoid helping guests. But it was a wonderful location.
