"I had the best stay at Hostel Tommy - it is literally seconds away from Ikseon-dong Hanok Village (one of the coolest places as a visitor) and a 3-min walk from Jongno 3(sam)-ga Station, making it super convenient and accessible. There is a 7-eleven right next to the hostel which is such a plus. The vibe was so homey and cozy, I felt incredibly safe and taken care of as a female solo traveller. The room was so comfortable too, I almost did not want to leave my room, haha! A huge shoutout to the...

"Clean room, good location. My only feedback is better English instructions for the luggage storage room. We ended up contacting the virtual help desk who sorted us out in 5 minutes. We apparently needed to place our palms on the door code before entering the numbers. The other thing was a very bright exit sign in the room that we wish we could have covered as we prefer to sleep in total darkness, but otherwise a great stay. Very convenient!"

MJ HOTEL JONGNO

8/10 Good

"It is a basic hotel in a good location. It was very clean. Breakfast was simple and served in a small kitchen, which sometimes felt a bit too crowded. The staff was nice. My room lacked character - just a few pictures would help. I think a bed side lamp should be a standard feature. Also, it would be good to have some notice asking to close room doors with care to prevent very loud noise. I regret not asking to lower the floor temperature earlier and asking about mosquitoes, which woke me up."
