It was a fantastic stay! The studio is small, but has all the necessities, it is super-clean and located in a beautiful, colorful and calm street in the center of Seoul. Included in the stay, there is also a nice breakfast (toast with jam and peanut butter, orange juice, coffee, tea, boiled eggs and cereals). Amy, the owner of the place, is kind and a wonderful person- thanks to her and her kindness we felt very welcome in Korea. After this stay, we travelled through Korea and stayed in other places, but 318 Stay was definitely our favorite. Our best greetings to Amy! If we come back to Seoul, we'll definitely go there.

The location of the hotel is great and a good base to visit other attractions. It is a short walk to Insadong Street, a subway station, Bukchon Hanok Village, and other places close by. The hotel building also houses a cafe and supermarket. My room was clean, spacious, and well equipped. The staff were kind and friendly. As a first-time visitor to Seoul, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and can recommend it to other travellers.

Pretty good stay, really enjoyed it Owner/Manager were very attentive and flexible. Room lends itself for a great sleep. Had good airco in the heat of the summer. Benefits from central location. Good, cheap restaurants around the corner. Metro very close. Comfortable though -like everything in Seoul- very packed and comes at a steep price. (Smaller cities are much cheaper and have more rooms.) Really enjoyed our stay here. I give high marks as I would like to support the owner. Only expect a basic, affordable tourist hotel so your expectations are fully met.

The hostel is at a great location right next to the Dongdaemun metro station. Walking distance to DDP, Kwangjang Market. The room is tiny but neat. Shower is great. Free unlimited ramen and coffee are provided in public room. Terrace with a view of Heunginjimun. No lift and the stairway is narrow, if you’re with large suitcases you should notice it.

self check-in and self check-out, but the location is very good! Easy to find, and the small kitchen has coffee machine and ice machine, the only thing is that the ice cubes are not enough, for late nights or early morning, it's empty. But in general, I love this place!!!!!

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.

This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
