Bluedot Poshtel Myeongodong

This hotel is a great stay if you're looking for convenience! its right on the market and so shopping was easy, and well located for public transportation with a bit of walking. The Incheon airport is one of the worst in the world for proximity to the city centre (Seoul), around 1.5 - 2 hour bus ride - one way! If you plan to not visit Seoul just stay in one of those cozy fancy affordable hotels near the airport, but if you plan to explore Seoul stay close to downtown. I was shocked to see how far the airport was to Seoul city centre. Another pro is its cheap, and the rooms are simple and quiet. I found it comfortable for a hostel. The con is the check in, which is basically either a phone with a Korean speaker on the other side who doesn't speak english, or a QR code on the inside of the door to check in with your phone. The other problem is the hotel itself is in an alley that gets darker the further you walk in it, i dont know why they don't just light up the alley to make it less scary. But Seoul is pretty safe, and there's lots of young people staying there so its not that much of an issue. it just looks scary. And if you arrive after 10pm to check in its a bit tricky to get in the hotel, not the funnest experience arriving with your luggage. To get around that just ask one of the people staying there as they walk in the hotel on how to check in.

The room was really hot, I’m not sure if there was an air conditioner so it could’ve been my fault. But overall good place to stay, excellent location

The sauna downstairs was unique. The bedding in the rooms were soft and very comfortable. Excellent service from both front desk and cleaning crew.

Im very happy about my stay here. Very close to everything, the beds were super comfy and it was overall pretty clean. I didn’t interact much with the people working there, but they were really nice at check in, and also on chat. The only thing I had a problem with (but I got used to it and then it wasn't really a problem) is that my room was on the 6th floor and the big bathroom was on B1 so it felt kinda weird to get in the elevator in your PJs during morning.. but everyone was the same so it was perfectly fine 😄 If I go back to visit Myeongdong Ill definitely stay there again!
