Find 2-Star Hotels in Seoul

The location is super convenient, with plenty of restaurants nearby downstairs and a 7-Eleven right across the street. Euljiro 1-ga subway station is just a 3-minute walk away, and Myeongdong's main street is a short stroll further, so you can drop off your shopping bags upstairs after a spree. Breakfast is provided, and there's a free washing machine and dryer available. The only minor inconvenience is the lack of a refrigerator in the room.

Beautifully designed and spotless, but several practical details need improvement Stay And4 is a beautifully designed, newly opened property with a stylish, modern interior. Everything looks carefully considered, from the bathroom fixtures to the refrigerator, microwave and water dispenser. The cleanliness is absolutely exceptional! A big compliment to the housekeeping staff, who clearly do an amazing job. Everything was spotless. I also appreciated the complimentary cup noodles and instant coffee in the communal area. However, despite the beautiful design, several practical details haven’t been thought through properly. Room comfort One important thing to know is that the room has no windows or natural daylight. The decorative curtains are beautifully executed and create a warm, inviting atmosphere, but having no daylight can feel unusual. At night, the standby lights on the TV and especially the water dispenser are extremely distracting. The water dispenser emits so much light that it actually illuminates the room when everything else is switched off. The power outlets next to the bed also don’t hold plugs securely. Even a slight movement of the charging cable can cause the plug to fall out. Bathroom The towels are extremely small, roughly the size of guest towels in the Netherlands rather than proper bath towels. For a relatively upscale property, this is disappointing. I asked the hotel about it and was told this is their standard size. Proper bath towels would be a significant improvement, especially for international guests. There is also no bath mat. The bathroom layout isn’t particularly practical either. There is a bathtub and an open shower, but the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel are in large dispensers fixed to the wall by the shower. They cannot be reached from the bathtub, meaning you have to get out or dispense the products into your hands beforehand. A strange design oversight. Housekeeping I stayed for two nights without any housekeeping. I don’t expect a full cleaning for such a short stay, but the very small trash bin wasn’t emptied, and used glasses and cups weren’t cleaned or replaced. A quick refresh would have been appreciated. Luggage storage The advertised “free luggage storage” is misleading in my opinion. There is no secure storage room, just a rack in a common area where you can attach your suitcase using a lock. Luggage remains accessible to other guests, making this unsuitable for open bags or valuables. I contacted the hotel about this because I wasn’t comfortable leaving my belongings there. The listing should be more transparent about what is actually provided. Carpeting The wall-to-wall carpeting looks beautiful now, but I question how well it will age and how easily it can be kept thoroughly clean. It’s also not ideal for guests sensitive to dust mites. A clear shoes-off policy might help maintain its condition. Entrance and surroundings The approach to the hotel and the entrance itself aren’t particularly inviting. The surroundings feel somewhat run-down, contrasting sharply with the beautiful interior. The stairwell in particular could benefit from refurbishment to create a better first impression. Overall Stay And4 has a lot of potential. The design is beautiful, the facilities are modern, and the cleanliness is genuinely outstanding. However, the many practical shortcomings make the experience less comfortable than the appearance suggests. Since the property is still new, I hope management takes this feedback seriously. Most issues could be resolved relatively easily and would significantly improve the guest experience. Good design should be about functionality and comfort, not just aesthetics.

I stayed for 2 nights in a 4-bed female-only dorm during my first solo trip to Korea. Located in the Myeongdong area, the location is very convenient for accessing the subway and shopping. I got the lower bunk. It had both USB-A and USB-C charging ports, which was super convenient as I could charge my phone and other devices without needing an adapter. The simple locker inside the bed area doesn't come with a lock, so I bought a 2,000-won padlock at the nearby Daiso. I'd definitely recommend bringing your own padlock. There are 6 shared shower stalls, but instead of shelves for clothes or towels, there are only hooks. Bringing a long-handled waterproof bag turned out to be a great decision. Flip-flops are also handy to have. Out of the 3 shared hair dryers, 2 were broken, but when I mentioned it to the front desk, they provided another one. As for the cleanliness of the shared facilities, I was a bit bothered at times by stray hairs in the shower stalls and toilets left unflushed. I suppose that partly depends on the manners of other guests. Breakfast included bread, cereal, eggs, coffee, and soup. I really appreciated being able to have a hearty meal to start the day. Additionally, there are washing machines (from 1,000 won - two 500-won coins) and dryers (from 3,000 won / 36 mins), which makes it very convenient for long-term stays or anyone looking to pack light. While there are a few minor inconveniences facility-wise, the great location and included breakfast are big pluses. I think this is a solid option for solo travelers looking to enjoy Myeongdong while keeping accommodation costs down.

Our Excellent Stay at Gaga Hotel – Outstanding Hospitality, Clean Rooms, and Great Location! We had a wonderful experience staying at Gaga Hotel for one night, and I can honestly say that it exceeded my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and comfortable. What truly made our stay special was the kindness and thoughtfulness of the person at the front desk, who I believe may be the owner. One thing that really touched me was how he allowed me to check in earlier than the official check-in time. He found out that I had arrived on a red-eye flight and hadn't had any sleep yet, so he kindly allowed me to check in early so I could finally get some much-needed rest. This thoughtful gesture meant so much to me. He didn't just treat me like ordinary guests; he showed genuine care and understanding. It's not every day you encounter someone so considerate and accommodating. His kindness made a great first impression and immediately made us feel at home. Thank you so much for going the extra mile for your guests! As for the room, it was very clean, spacious, and comfortable—perfect for me and my husband. Everything was well-maintained, and the room had such a fresh and pleasant smell. The bed was exceptionally clean and smelled so good, making it even more inviting after a tiring journey. I was able to sleep very well and wake up feeling refreshed. The hot water in the shower worked perfectly, and the water pressure was excellent. These details may seem small, but they make a huge difference when you're traveling and looking for a comfortable place to rest. The location is another big advantage of Gaga Hotel. It's very convenient for travelers like us because it's close to bus and train stations, making it easy to get around and explore different places. There are also plenty of nearby restaurants and food options to discover. We especially appreciated that the food was much more affordable compared with touristy areas like Myeongdong. You can enjoy delicious meals without spending too much, which is a big plus for budget-conscious travelers who still want to experience local food. Even with its convenient location, the surroundings were peaceful at night. We were able to rest comfortably and enjoy a quiet night's sleep without unnecessary noise. The combination of a clean room, a fresh-smelling bed, a great shower, and a peaceful atmosphere made our stay truly relaxing. What I love most about Gaga Hotel is that it offers more than just a place to sleep. It offers comfort, convenience, affordability, and, most importantly, genuine hospitality. The early check-in was especially meaningful because the staff member understood how exhausting a red-eye flight can be and showed compassion by helping us get some rest sooner. That kind of personal attention is something I will always appreciate and remember. For the price, I believe Gaga Hotel offers excellent value for money. Whether you're traveling as a couple, visiting for sightseeing, or simply looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay near public transportation, I would definitely recommend giving this hotel a try. We will absolutely come back to Gaga Hotel on our next visit! I will gladly recommend it to my friends and family because our experience was genuinely wonderful. A big thank-you to the kind and generous front desk staff or owner for making us feel welcome and for being so considerate of our situation. Sometimes, the best hotels are not necessarily the fanciest or most expensive ones, but the places where you feel welcomed, well-rested, and taken care of. Gaga Hotel gave us exactly that experience! Keep up the great work! Your kindness, attention to cleanliness, and care for your guests truly make a difference. I hope more travelers discover this lovely hotel and experience the same warm hospitality that we did. ❤️ Highly recommended! Five stars for cleanliness, comfort, convenient location, affordability, and luggage storage. Gaga Hotel is

It's about a 10-minute walk from the subway station, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby, and convenience stores are right next to the hotel on both sides, which was great. The amenities were well-stocked with individual sachets of shampoo, body soap, conditioner, etc., plus a toothbrush and instant coffee, which was more than enough. It's a bit far from the city center, but I liked that it offered a more local feel.

Kinda over my expectations, really had a good experience, the staff are so friendly and nice. If u're finding a mini budget staying, it's a good option, to the central city everything it's just about half an hour (not really far for me imo) and the area there is safe and are happening even at nigha as well. Also, didn't expect that the room was kinda big (as a single room) and comfortable!!!

Nice hotel in the middle of Myeong-dong, not on the main streets, so it was not noisy or anything. Room was on the 3rd floor, nice window, beds are good and comfortable, water flow is great, hot enough, there were shampoos and stuff, free drinking water at the kitchen btw. You can use laundry for 10k won. Nice for the first stay in Seoul. Blue and green metro lines are close enough, so yes, recommend this hotel

Not a place I would recommend (reason below): I understand It is a cheap accomodation, There's a bit of mold, a lot of dust, and persistent body odor in the dormitory. The sheets are clean, but theres 1 tiny washroom shared across 12 guests in the mixed dorm. You certainly do get what you pay for in terms of the amenities. However, what cannot be discounted by the affordable price is the staff service. The workers here were the rudest hospitality staff that we'd ever experienced. For context, the hostel operates on an automated check in and cleaning system. This means that the staff-to-guest relationship is largely unmanaged. This manifested in the staff being extremely entitled and quick to anger. I was rudely shoved by one member two times in the time that we stayed here. He was always very angrily cleaning and pushing past customers. In another case, one of the staff members who was boarding in the mixed dorm with us was so entitled to the room that she would constantly give us attitude and rude gestures everytime we came back to the room, no matter the time of day. They even asked one of us to leave so they could take a call. A staff member asking a paying guest to leave their paid-for accomodation so that they can sit and do with their personal matters is unacceptable behaviour. Ultimately, as great as the location is (right next to the Metro), and as manageable the room setup was, the way that guests are treated here makes this a place that I would recommend skipping. There are many other Hostels in this price range that I cannot imagine to be as awful.

The accommodation was exceptionally clean, and the bathroom was very spacious. It's super close to the subway station and incredibly cheap. The front desk staff were also great; different people were on duty each day, some spoke Chinese, and some even spoke Spanish. The service was excellent, and they also offer luggage storage. The only downside is that there's no washing machine, so you have to go out to do laundry. But considering I only paid 72 RMB a night when I booked, not having a washing machine is perfectly acceptable, haha!

It's only two minutes' walk from the nearest station and has excellent access. There is a convenience store right next to the hotel, and there are 24-hour restaurants nearby, so it's convenient. A refrigerator, dryer, and smartphone charger are provided in the room.(i-phone&type-c only) If there is no staff at the front desk when you check in, you will need to obtain your room number using sns. As others have written, the cleaning situation leaves room for improvement. However, you will be able to stay at a very reasonable price, so I think it would be a good idea to bring slippers and other things to make up for the parts of the floor that are not well cleaned.
