The staff at H28 is so helpful and kind. They helped me with my missing luggage and my esim-card. Everyone was so attentive and nice. My room was beautiful and very close to the reception (room No 615-deluxe double room). The rooftop is open 24 hours and is ideal for smokers. All the convenience stores (bubble tea/coffee shop, G25, Seven Eleven, Lemon Mart (supermarket), pharmacy, restaurants, tube station are within 2-5 min walking distance). There is also a nice cafe next to the hotel, Cream Chic, which I also highly recommend. I already booked my next trip in December and will stay again hat H28.

Very spacious, amazing beds (surprisingly nice bedding) and it smells really nice. Could even storage my luggage here for 2 nights. Also, the lady (owner?) who was around was super friendly (also helping me carry my big bags). The location is perfect and so is the big roof-terrace! 10/10, thank you so much <3!

The hostel is a new one, they have only just opened. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They allowed us to leave our luggage before the check-in time and when we left they helped us book a taxi to our new accommodation. The room is large and spacious and you have a view of all the buildings around you. The grounds and room are very clean and the towels are changed daily. If you don't mind the distance from the city centre and the tourist attractions, then I would definitely recommend this place.

Momo is a very kind host. She was very helpful, and we managed to communicate well even with our language barrier. The guest house is incredibly central, only a 5min walk to Myeong-Dong station. The central location made it easy to get around, and even with the window open at night, it was surprisingly quiet. I would definitely stay with at Soo Guest House again.

    It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

    Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.
