We enjoyed our stay at theZip Hotel very much. It was conveniently located between 2 train stations, a 1 min walk to Sinchon Station and a 4 min walk to Sogang University Station.

The check-in staff was unattentive, not very hospitable and didn’t give us much information, just answered our questions. We asked for city view room, but our room was facing a back alley of a building.
Other than that, our stay was amazing. Our room was super clean, beds were very comfy, the cleaning ladies and staffs during breakfast were very friendly & attentive. The location was great too. Walking distance to many places.

Very modern and clean. Great location as well.
The only complaint is the complimentary breakfast. It was almost the same for the entire week with very basic selections(toast and some reheated frozen food-korean sausage, patty. Coffee machine was broken all the time so the staff had to use drip coffee pod.

Breakfast was so good, much better than the other hostels. The price is reasonable, the site is the best in Myeongdong. It takes only a minute from the station. It's new, very neat and clean. I loved the free self-laundry service.

I will mention that the room was a little hot. A receptionist informed us that during the winter, the AC cannot be turned on (understandably), and only heat can be turned on/off. Our room was 26C/80F with the...

Rooms are small but the convenient location well makes up for how small the rooms are. Very quick walk over to Myeong-Dong Shopping street. The airport bus (17000 won per person) is also right by the hotel so it makes returning to the airport very easy, rather than trying to take multiple trains back to the airport. Breakfast was a bit repetitive but it was still good, Would definitely stay here again next time I return Seoul.
