The beds were very comfortable and the showers in the basement were clean and warm. The presence of big lockers was a great advantage, as it allowed me to securely store my suitcase and other belongings. Additionally, the hotel's location was convenient, with several subway stations and bus stops nearby. This made it easy to explore the city and visit various attractions.
The capsules could get quite warm, making it difficult to sleep at times. It would have been helpful if there was a way to regulate the temperature better.

The location of Capsule Myeongdong was extremely convenient, with two subway stations just a short 5-minute walk away. I felt safe and secure in the capsule rooms, which provided a nice level of privacy and were soundproof. The cleanliness of the bathroom and toilet was impressive, making it comfortable to use. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating.
Despite a few minor drawbacks, such as the lack of water filters and the inconvenience of the top bunk in the capsule beds, the overall experience at Capsule Myeongdong was exceptional. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable place to stay in Seoul.

I stayed at The Capsule Myeongdong for one night during my trip to Seoul. The capsule was surprisingly spacious and provided a cozy and comfortable sleeping experience. The staff were friendly and spoke good English, which was very helpful. The cleanliness of the rooms and facilities was impressive, and I appreciated the lockable capsules and sizable lockers for luggage storage. Despite the location not being noisy, I would recommend keeping earplugs handy due to the ventilation system.
I do recommend this hotel.

As a traveler in my twenties, I found The Capsule Myeongdong to be a quirky and unique hotel experience. The location was ideal, with a five-minute walk to the subway and plenty of good restaurants nearby. Plus, there was a 24/7 shop just down the road, which was very convenient. The hotel even sent me detailed instructions on how to get there from the subway and bus station, which was considerate. The online system to access the facility was easy to use, and I had no trouble figuring out the locker system and finding my capsule. it was a fascinating and enjoyable experience.
Totally recommend this hotel.

The location of the hotel was perfect, just a short walk from the metro station and close to various shopping areas. Despite being situated in a dark alleyway, the surrounding area felt safe. the rooms were comfortable and cozy, and the capsule beds provided a good night's sleep. the staff were friendly and helpful, and the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms was commendable.
It was disappointing to find that there was no common area or lounge to relax or eat in.

I had a great stay at Capsule Myeongdong in Seoul. I stayed for 3 nights and the location was perfect, just a 20-minute walk from the city center. The direct bus from the airport stops just 100 meters from the hostel, making it convenient and cost-effective. The hostel is also close to a metro stop, just 150 meters away. The staff was helpful and the capsule was spacious with big lockers for my belongings. Everything was clean and safe, with fantastic bathrooms and clean towels provided daily. There were mini markets and shops nearby, making it convenient for any needs. Highly recommended!
I do recommend this hotel.

Great Value for Money: The price of the capsule hotel was very reasonable, especially considering the convenient location and the clean facilities provided. It was a great option for budget travelers like myself. Perfect Location: The hotel was situated in a central area, just a short walk from a subway station. This made it incredibly easy to explore the city and visit popular attractions. I loved being able to get around easily without having to rely on taxis or public transportation.Comfortable Facilities: The capsules were surprisingly spacious and provided enough room for me to sit up straight. The beds were comfortable, and I appreciated having my own toilet in the room. The shower rooms were clean and well-maintained, and I had no issues with the temperature or water supply.
Limited Towels: The hotel did not provide enough towels for all guests, which was a bit inconvenient. It would have been better to bring my own towel to avoid any shortage.

Best aspects of our romantic escape were the privacy of the bed and the cleanliness of the comfort room and shower room. We loved that each bed had its own space and the bed itself was spacious and comfortable. The clean and well-maintained comfort and shower rooms added to our overall satisfaction. Additionally, the location of the hotel was perfect for exploring the city, with a convenient store nearby and a subway station just a short walk away.
Worst aspects of our stay were the lack of air conditioning in the individual capsules and the temperature of the room. It was uncomfortably hot, making it difficult to sleep or relax.
