I felt at home throughout my 5-night stay in Seoul thanks to this new cosy hostel, with its welcoming vibe, cosy rooms and great communal facilities e.g. computer, fridge, kitchen lounge and free washer-dryer facilities on 3F and 6F, plus water dispenser and luggage scales on all room floors, handy to check the weight of all your shopping. My small ensuite single room felt like a warm personal space, equipped with a shoerack, smart TV, air purifier, under-bed storage space for backpack and mid-sized luggage, wet bathroom with hairdryer and a smart lock, apt-style. Good hot water and shower pressure, somewhat slow drainage but a minor issue for me (just switch off water in between showering). Best part was the endless breakfast and instant noodle supplies (tea coffee, bread, cereal, milk, jam, peanut butter, cheese, eggs, Indomee!). Unbeatable location in the heart of Myeongdong near to Euljiro-1ga subway and easy to reach from airport via limousine bus 6015 (get off at Ibis Ambassador Hotel, 5-min walk) or a 10-min taxi ride to Seoul AREX or 7-min walk to airport bus 6001 stop on the Namsan-side of Myeongdong on departure. Thanks for giving sol femaleo travellers like me a safe home away from home! Definitely will return.

Recommended by my online friend! Ara125 is conveniently located, easily accessible and walkable around the city. It is close to train station and surrounded with restaurants, retails and convenient stores! Receptionists were kind, polite and helpful, they can even speak multi languages🤭. Even though the room is small, but with all the facilities were super great! Thank you for the great breakfast. Will see you again next trip for sure🤭
