Great central location and amazing staff
Pros:

The hotel's central location is its biggest strength. Right outside the hotel is a bus stop, and down the street is a subway line. It only takes 1 transfer to get from Gimpo Airport to here. The transit nearby will connect you to anywhere in Seoul, with most tourist destinations being less than 20 minutes away. Around the hotel are also great restaurants if you wanted to save a trip to Myeongdong. Secondly, all the staff were amazing with their service and English skill. I wanted to thank Dustin for giving us a warm goodbye on our checkout and everyone else in the hotel for answering all of our questions. The hotel was good enough for us to stay in twice during our trip. Being able to do laundry was nice as well.

Cons:

During our 2 stays, we checked into two different rooms. The biggest negative I have is noise. The first room 402 was fairly noisy due to a possible water heater nearby. The A/C had to be blasting to cool the room and the fridge would also turn on throughout the night. The second room we stayed in 304 was a lot better. But throughout the hotel, the walls are really thin so you can hear neighbors (though everyone was respectful during our stay). You also have to be careful with the shower as the water can very quickly move from freezing to scalding.

Great location between two main station, City hall station and Seoul station. A lot of bus options upfront as well. Quiet, comfortable rooms with AC.

Decent price, great location and friendly staff!
Pros:

Centrally located, and the staff were amazing! The hotel is hidden but right down the street from the train station. It was also a 20-minute walk to Myeongdong—a perfect location away from the crowds and noise.

Cons:

My bathroom flooded easily when I used the sink. The room was a little meh, but I didn’t spend much time in there anyway. It’s great for a short stay!

Pros:

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Firststay Myeongdong!
The location is amazing, right beside a street full of restaurants with plenty of dining choices. It’s super convenient for shopping and exploring Myeongdong.
There is an open lounge space on the 6th floor, it’s really cozy and relaxing to hang out there.
All hotel staff were friendly, polite and lovely, especially Judy who gave me warm help during my trip.
The room was clean and the whole experience was wonderful. I would love to come back again when I visit Seoul next time

It was a pleasant stay.. location is very accessible to main attractions
Pros:

Staff Dustin and the rest are awesome. They are very welcoming and helpful.

Cons:

My room was reasonable for what I paid for … there was no window in my room but a rooftop garden where you can have coffee all day long was a nice touch.
