Detailed Reviews
I loved my stay here in PhilStay. First, the location is perfect. Smacked right at the heart of Myeongdong and transportation options are tons - from airport bus to subways. Second, the price. It’s great value for money, especially for solo travelers who only crash after spending the entire day wandering around Seoul and beyond. Plus, the property is clean and the beds are really comfy. Slept like a baby here. Last but not the least, very welcoming and helpful staff. 🫶 Overall, would stay here again in my next visit to Seoul.

Without a doubt and in a heartbeat, I would highly recommend Philstay Myeongdong. Dive to the reasons why:
1. Convenience - the place is strategically located to all the attractions for first time traveller/s you can literally walk to the tourist spots you want to visit. About 2 mins walk from the bus stop and train stations. Center of myeongdong so you can easily buy food or shop whenever you want to!
2. Affordable , clean and safe - Cost effective! Honestly I got more than what I paid for Philstay’s cleanliness and safety.
3. People - They’re BEST host a foreigner can ask for. A BIG thank you to the owner Mr. Moon for being beingconsiderate and caring — my mom and I arrived early (by a lot) than expected time but he let us check in and occupy the room immediately so we can rest — Thank you I really appreciate that. To the tending staff Eric, who is very polite and always ready to address customer concerns and lastly to the sweet and friendly Jessi! You’re an angel — thanks for the small talks and making us feel home. I hope to see you again when we come back. #bestcustomerservice
You are all the best, made our stay incredibly unforgettable! God bless you all ❤️
So if you’re reading and planning to book your accommodation book PHILSTAY myeongdong! It’s simply the best 💯/10

Host was very nice and hospitable, checked us in and talked us through all the guidelines. Room was clean and nice, although I found the beds were quite hard. Heating was in good condition, the floor heating was a nice feature. Location was very convenient, just outside myeongdong market and close to the train station.

The bed is very comfortable, the location excellent and the staff friendly and attentive. They left us a gift at the door because we were leaving early and we wouldn't see them. The price is a little high, but I understand that you pay for the location and size of the room. Clean facilities, large common area with everything you need. Recommendable.

This is a great place to stay! I highly recommend...especially for solo travelers. The host was beyond gracious and friendly! He went out of his way to help me during my stay. The room was small but very clean. To be honest, the size of the room is fine for a solo traveler. The area is great, because you're right next to Myeongdong station...meaning you can get around Seoul easily. Highly recommend! I will be coming back when needing a room in Seoul.

It was a great location with the best service by Eric and Moon. It was very clean and orderly. They had everything we needed! A definite must if you want to be in the center of it all! Myeongdong is certainly a great place to be especially if you’re a foodie like our family.

Restaurants, and shops are just below the building! Subways and bus stations are 5 mins away. It's very lively from the afternoon til midnight. Street food is everywhere too. The accommodation was very clean and peaceful. Jung was very helpful during our stay.

Excellent for family budget travel. Room with queen bed and bunk beds. Very limited space but fully equipped with basic needs. The bathroom is well maintained. There is a pantry for dining and free fast / simple meals. Located in the heart of the crowded shopping area. At night there are stalls, street food stalls, souvenirs, clothes, toys and more to fill the whole hallway between the buildings until late at night. Close to the main subway station. Also surrounded by renowned department stores. Near Namsan Tower cable car station, the textile museum and korean cartoons.
