Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room smelled like bleach which should have meant that it was cleaned. But there were still balls of hair in the bathroom and the floor was sticky. Lot of flying fruit/flea bugs in the room. Got a headache from the bleach smell. The noise from other guests is obviously uncontrollably, but you can hear people talking in the other adjacent rooms. During my stay, some guests got back to the room around 2:30 am and were talking loudly so I was awaken by them. At first I thought they were talking in the hallway because it was so loud, so I checked and they were just talking in their room. The price for the room was cheap with sale discount, but it was initially listed as over a hundred dollars a night. Even with the sale discount, I don't think the room is worth staying in unless it's a last resort.

You pay for the convenience. The place is in the heart of Myeong-dong. So watch your spending. The rooms are tiny. It’s like a child's bedroom with a toilet and shower. Breakfast is what you eat when you are running late for work—bread, peanut butter and jelly, coffee, cold ham and coffee. There’s a big bottle of juice to share. One thing that makes me smile is that you wash your own dishes after you eat breakfast. I have never seen one like that, and I have traveled a lot. Either you learn to wash dishes right there, or it reminds you of being home. Either way, I think it humbles people who stay here. The staff is helpful, and I think the place is clean. Just know that check-in is on the 15th floor, and the rooms are small. As I say again, you pay for the convenience. And I think its worth it especially if you are not staying in your hotel most of the time.

It's a great place for a budget hotel, quite clean, close the public transportation, about 5 min walk to the train stations; it is in the middle of the famous Myeondgong shopping street where one can shop for all kings of Korean products, such as skin care, clothes, shoes, snacks etc; it includes breakfast that is good enough. I stayed for five nights. The staff speak different languages - English, Chinese, Japanese and are very nice and helpful. Though the room and bathroom are small, they are pretty good for me.

It’s pretty confusing trying to find the property. The bathrooms are more quaint than I’m used to. So if you are a bigger individual i wouldn’t recommend this inn. Also I was under the impression that it was a female inn. There are male patrons on that floor as well. Our bathrooms are separate but you may have male neighbors. It includes a laundry facility which is convenient and breakfast is self serve. Not a bad place for solo travelers or those on a budget.

This budget hotel is in a great location in central Seoul in the middle of a popular shopping district with street food blenders in the evening and many restaurants. Easy access to multiple subway lines and buses. The staff is friendly and helpful (we used English). The reception and dining area are on the 15th floor of a small highrise with rooms on the 14th, 15th, and 16th floors. We had a great view of Seoul Tower. They proved a simple continental breakfast (bread, ham, cheese, boiled eggs, cereal, coffee, tea, juice, milk). This is a no frills hotel, the hallways are a bit narrow, cluttered, and underlit. The rooms are exactly alas shown in photos--small, clean, the beds very hard, some minor maintenance issues in bathroom (broken tiles on floor, sink slow to drain).

Great location, Terrible beds.
Pros: Right on the strip in Myeongdong. TONS of food and shopping options. Close to public transit. Cons: SUPER uncomfortable beds! (Literally raw wood with a mattress.) Rooms near the breakfast area are insanely loud very early in the mornings. Very tiny bathroom that doubles as a shower.

Location is great. It is however a struggle to look for it as the entire building name is different. The building is comprised of restaurants and inns, thus there are other accommodations (with different names) within the same building. One guest went to different locations and asked 3 different establishments who knew nothing where Step Inn Myeongdong is. The building is next to Royal Hotel Seoul. Just read the signs outside the building. The room is very basic. Shower area is tiny, shower head is over the wash basin (may not be the same in all rooms). Cleanliness is satisfactory. Free light breakfast included then you have to wash utensils/dishes used.
