Taesosan Vacations from $1,186

Great Location in the Heart of Myeongdong – 4/5 The Stay Hue is in an excellent location—right in the middle of what I think is the best part of Seoul for tourists. Myeongdong is packed with great shops, restaurants, bars, karaoke spots, and fun things to do. (Think: Shinjuku in Tokyo, Broadway in Nashville, or Greenwich Village in NYC.) The rooms are small, which is typical for Korea and Japan, but very clean and well-maintained. It’s important to note that this is not a full-service hotel—it occupies a single floor within a mixed-use building. That said, the value and location are hard to beat. Some thoughtful touches include free coffee in the lobby, reasonably priced laundry service, and my favorite feature: each room has a water machine that dispenses filtered ice-cold water. The subway is just a short walk away, and the lively night market is literally right outside the entrance. In short, if you’re looking for a clean, affordable place in a vibrant area and don’t need amenities like room service, a gym, pool, or concierge, The Stay Hue is a solid choice. I’m giving it 4/5 stars—only because Expedia didn’t make it clear that this wasn’t a traditional hotel.

Although the property is old, the room was kept very clean and the location was excellent

Comfortable, clean, easy access to major sites. Strongly recommend

Good location…close to almost everything. Nice staff…

The hotel is affordable and in a convenient location to everything you’d want to do in Seoul! The staff were kind and the space was just enough. Would love to have more amenities but for what you pay for, it is comfortable and just what you need. Great aircon for the summer days in Seoul.
