Starria Hostel foreign guest only

Location, facilities (laundry room), staff. Everything was perfect! Easy and accessible! Big thank you to the staff for organizing the disposal of my big suitcase 😊

Perfect spot to situate yourself if you're new in Seoul. You literally take 1 direct express bus from the airport and it's a 5 min walk right to Starria. Meongdong markets is right across the road and there is PLENTY to see/do/eat. While the room was small, we expected it and had no issues with it. We also thought it might be uncomfortable using a small bathroom as we had to shower over the toilet but it turned out great as this meant we kept the bathroom very clean! Having a kitchen downstairs and full laundry was so good as it meant we could stay in and eat if we wanted and could do our laundry regularly!

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.
