Philstay Myeongdong Metro

Room is homey, cheap, and clean. The place is nearby Myeongdong Shops, bus stop, and subway, but quite difficult to find for the first time, so, better ask the tourist information first before coming to the hotel. Tourist Information Office is near the hotel and very helpful. I will stay again when coming to Seoul in the future.

Feared for my life be careful if you book this hotel. The owner of this guesthouse is too treacherous. I suggest that all coming guests bring their own bed sheets, towels, hangers, carpet, etc since he will charge their guest for whatever damages incurred. This guest house owner emailed me regarding the damages found in rooms after our stayed. Expect us to bear for all this cost. By reading his email I feel threatened. He mentioned that he have evidence in cctv, pictures prove his said. Honestly I am not afraid and interested in receiving his evidence as it is way too ridiculous to get his guest liable based on unreasonable assumption. I will compensate if cctv records show that the facilities in rooms is destroyed by us intentionally. He request us to apologies. However I don't think my apology and compensation is necessary because I have not done anything wrong. I will not admit things that I have not done! Please do not stay here. Ever!

Do not mislead by the high rating rate of this guesthouse on any booking website. Trust me, this is the worst place I have ever stay in. This guesthouse owner tried to rip me off during & after our stayed. I’ve emailed to korea tourism board for this issue but they informed me that any matters concerning guest house operations or reservations cannot be processed because there are no related laws. So guys please be aware and careful if you choose to stay any guesthouse in korea. By sharing my experience here because I don't wish other travellers get any unpleasant experience or trouble same like me. Please do not choose this guesthouse after read my reviews. Thanks

Do not stay here.. Ever.. I have chosen this accommodation for me and my family. I've booked 5 rooms in total. We stayed here for 4 nights. Sadly, it doesn't live up  to our expectation and it wasn't a pleasant experience in Korea due to our stay. The guesthouse owner emailed me twice about facilities in rooms been destroyed by us after I request agent to change my reservation status to correct one. By reading his email I feel intimidated. He want me to apologies and compensate. But I don't think my apology and compensation is necessary because I have not done anything wrong. He claimed that Room 503-hanger damaged; Room 510-bathroom slipper broken, carpet is burned & melted by hair iron; Room 506-bedding ball pen marks. Room 507 - black stains are embedded in white bedding; Here is my explanation of his allegations: - Room 503 - we are not the first time user of clothes hanger and we are aware of the proper way of using it. We believe that it is our responsibility as an occupant to use it  in a correct and responsible manner. Unfortunately, when we tried to hang our clothes with the hanger, it was too vulnerable that the wooden part fell.you possess the right to get us liable if you believe that this is a reasonable action given the poorly maintained facilities. Things can be spoil through wear and tear. Please do not expect us to bear for all these costs. Room 510 - I shouldn't be liable  for the loss as the damage and defect mentioned had been there since we first moved in. We didn't  manage to take note of every single defect mentioned as we fail to pay attention on all details of the room. Room 506 - I admit that I had inadvertently stained your linen caused by ink of my pen. I am willing to pay for the loss caused as a result of of the stain. Just a reminder, you recognized that the stain can be removed by detergent and water  when I mentioned it to you. You said will not charged me for that when I was there. But now you are going to charge me laundry fees for it.? Room 507 - Regarding the bedding damage of room 507 which stated that a lot of black stains are embedded in the white bedding please take note that I have paid 70000 won for compensation. Originally you asked for 110000 won but upon the request of our Korean tour guide it was reduced to 70000 won. So what is your problem now? If you feel 70000 won is insufficient I can request the authorities concerned to check if the price is reasonable for a bed cover which you asked for 55000 won and a futon cover for 55000 won. you had claimed that the bed sheet was stained by the shirt colour of my parents.You reached this conclusion by just  basing  on CCTV footage of my parents  appearing  in your lift in a rainy day as claimed.On top of that, you made assumption that my parents went straight to bed after going back to their room. It is unfair to make such  an assumption solely based on the CCTV footage and applying imaginative thinking in a wrong way. We paid you because we were in a rush for time, we do not want to miss our precious last few hours of sight-seeing instead of wasting our time disputing over this matter. He get agent staff to inform me that he will not charge me for facilities destroyed only if I not leaving bad reviews about them. Please bear in mind that I will not admit Things that I have not done. I will just give an honest account of my own experience. Other than this, house owner mentioned that he have evidence in cctv, pictures prove his said. Honestly I am not afraid and interested in receiving his  evidence as it is way too ridiculous to get his guest liable  based on unreasonable assumption. I will compensate if cctv records show that the facilities in rooms is destroyed by us intentionally. A kind reminder to house owner that the glass  rack in the washroom of room 507 is not firm .Please repair it in time to prevent any misunderstanding between you and upcoming guest .I  fervently hope that  they will have  a pleasant stay in  Korea. To prevent future misunderstanding, I suggest that all your coming guests bring their own bed sheets, towels, hangers, carpet, etc

I will choose this black shop if I run out of luck This is the most unpleasant event that has occurred in my many years of travel. It is simply spending money to be discriminated against and pitted. When checking in, he rudely declared to us that we 9 people would be noisy. Go talk to the balcony. You can't come out to eat breakfast at the same time. Only 2 digits at a time. It can be seen that the elderly, children, and families are very unwelcome. The hotel is poorly soundproofed. But the boss seems to be putting the pressure on the sound insulation on the residents. We cannot speak in the hallway with a normal tone. Can only be pronounced with qi. Otherwise he would put on a face that smells like shit. We all have to be sneaky and uncomfortable. Hotel owner has problematic / quirky attitude. Is a middle-aged man. The boss was there all day and we felt under surveillance during our stay. Staying in this hotel feels oppressed and has no privacy. Even if he doesn't clean the room, he enters the room every day to check the room. It should be to see that we are not pleasing to the eye or do not want us to have time to eat, and deliberately changed the breakfast time from 8:00 am to 8:10 am. His parents sat there waiting at 8 o'clock, and he looked displeased. We stayed for a total of 9 people and put a few slices of bread to entertain us. It's really flat. He said that my parents had stained their sheets and sheets and had to pay a fine of 110,000 won. After we returned to China, his booking status was changed to impossible to comment. I'm so angry. He also emailed us. The contents of his room were damaged by us. He has closed TV, photos prove. To book a hotel platform we charge us a fine. He also said that if I didn't rate his hotel online, he would ignore them. This is a threat, but I am determined to make my encounter public. Don't be afraid to do anything wrong. Even if this kind of ghost place lets me stay for free, I don't want to strangle. so horrible. Complaining against the Korea Tourism Board could not help me, they stated that there were no regulations or laws for Korean guesthouses or hotels. So you really need to choose carefully when you stay in Korea. Actually Myeongdong has a lot of good accommodations. So I suggest that you don't run the risk of stepping on a mine to stay in this hotel. It will affect everyone ’s mood and excite everyone.
