Starria Hostel foreign guest only

we had great time here eventhough breakfast was not provided due to covid. thanks Joon for the good customer service given and very helpful with information provided. very comfortable, nearby train station, bus stop, meet point to all attractions ie nami island, everland (if you were booked via Klook) - no need to rushing, bus stop to incheon airport (the earliest bus 6015 is 4.35am - if this helpful for anyone who is needed this). nearby to N Seoul Tower - can just walk by. Very nearby Kampungku restaurant; along the way to the hotel (also have few halal restaurants there). superb, I will recommend this to my friends. to Malaysian muslim - if you are looking for something convenient - this place is what you are looking for.

There’s so much to love about this property. It’s literally right next to Myeongdong station. Right across the street is the Myeongdong shopping area and just up the hill is Namsan Tower. This area of Myeongdong is filled with picturesque views of murals and buildings. It’s within “walking distance” (15-20min) of Namdaemun Market, Deoksugung Palace and City Hall. Gwanghwamun & Bukchon Hanok Village are also nearby. The hostel itself was very clean and staff were extremely nice! I booked an 11 day stay in a private room (with a private bathroom/shower) and absolutely loved it. I was so glad that my shower was NOT moldy. I’ve been to plenty of hostels where the shower alone would make you feel dirty. The best time to go is definitely late summer/fall. Out of all the hostels in Korea that I’ve stayed at this far, this was my absolute favorite. I’m definitely coming back to this place for my next trip to Korea.

My stay here was very pleasant, the room was really simple. Some people might find it quite small but it’s really all you need. I had enough room to store my luggage and even all the additional spendings. The location is also very convenient as it is just outside of busy MyeongDong but can still be reached by walking down the street. It’s also close to the line 4 metro station.

Location is superb, near to myeongdong station and close to many tourist attraction. Easy to reach as Joon provide us a very clear instruction from myeongdong station right to the door. Near to halal eateries like kampungku restaurant. During the second night, it happened to be blackout at some of the rooms at level 4, including our room...and the next morning Joon refunded us one night rate as a means of sorry for the inconvenient...we never expected that, but we appreciate the gesture so much...thank you so much to Joon and all the staff for the hospitality, very clean room eventho it was quite small for the three of us, the pantry is clean and well equipped, washing mashine and dryer working very well where we used it twice. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come back if we visit Seoul again.

Starria Hostel is centrally located, close to Myeongdong station. The immediate area is full of interesting restaurants, cafes and shopping areas. The hostel itself has a practical small kitchen where residents can cook and use some fridge space, although there was also a small fridge in my room that was sufficient for most things. The internet connection was stable and quick enough for me to do video meetings. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. I was initially worried about the size of the bathroom, but it turned out to by of no problem. Last but not least, the staff went out of their way to help me in any way they could, not only with practical questions with the room (which were always swiftly solved), but also with other larger and smaller problems or questions I had in Seoul in general. Such a friendly atmosphere and good service. Would love to go there again!
