Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The reviews and pictures are over rated. The carpet is dirty, the air conditioned didn’t work on our first night. The room is so small, it so uncomfortable for us. The location is great.
Afterall, this is in a convenient location. You get what you pay for.

I was surprised that there was only a showerhead next to the toilet, rather inconvenient. I was also unaware that you could not throw toilet paper into the toilet, but that was not unusual, it seems.
Please do not book this place if you want a safe, comfortable trip. The building is located at the end of a deserted alleyway in Myeongdong. The entrance is open to the public and this part of the street is poorly lit at night. My booking was for 4 nights and the front desk staff were seldom present for assistance. The heating system did not work during my stay so I was given a portable heater which helped only a little. There are many other alternatives in this area, so I would recommend staying away from Philstay Myeongdong Metro.
We loved it here.
Our flight was canceled and the hotel was super responsive when I messaged them and asked if we could shift our visit ahead 1 day.
We came with our 11 year old. Clean, comfortable, and a lot of details that really made it great. Refrigerator in room, small common kitchen area, a scale so you can weigh your luggage before you leave to make sure you’re not over the airline limit. There is even a place to store your luggage after checkout if your flight doesn’t leave until the evening. Beds are firm, sheets and comforter are comfortable. Shower is easy to operate. We were out exploring the city all day and it was a great place to crash at night and eat breakfast in the morning before taking off.
We’ll be back!
Our stay at Philstay Myeongdong Metro was great! The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were small but cozy and exactly what we needed, a bed and shower. Philstay is right in the middle of the Myeongdong shopping district and also near two subway lines (line 2 and line 4) both short walks from Philstay. As a former resident and frequent traveler to Seoul I picked Philstay based on it's location and ease of access to other districts.
These rooms may not be for everyone as they are quite small. I stayed in two different rooms during my stay both consisted of a bed with firm mattress, nightstand, tv, and shower. If you like large spacious rooms with big bathrooms, this is not the hotel for you. However, if you just need a place to sleep and shower this place is perfect.
Great location. It's in the center of the Myeongdong street market so it's very convenient. Metro station and express bus to airport are also within 5' walking.
Room was too small. The bathroom was extremely narrow. It was combined with the toilet so after a shower, the toilet would get wet all over.
Hotel is located near myeongdong station exit 7 (with escalator) with plenty of eateries & cosmetics shops surrounding it. Some stairs (8 steps) to reach the elevator as the hotel is located at 5F. Isaac toast is just located beside it! Ideal for breakfast.
Room is clean & small but walls are thin so you can hear your neighbor washing/talking. You can also hear the noise from the outside if there are drunk/super excited people shouting. Do note that toothbrushes are not provided.
Moreover, myeongdong station is not tourist friendly where there are a flight of stairs at all exits to reach the metro exit,,,quite sad as there are so many tourists with huge luggage bags, including me!
The location is just right in the center of Myeongdong. Easily to settle any of your meal in Myeongdong, and for shopaholics, you can shop till you drop in Myeongdong and have a good rest without travelling far.
