I had a wonderful stay at Simple Stay! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, all the time ready to assist with a smile. The breakfast, though simple as the hotel name simple :) , was absolutely delicious and a perfect way to start the day. I would highly recommend this hotel looking for a comfortable and welcoming experience. In the future, If I can come back to Korea, I will come back here again!

Good breakfast options, has both keycard and phone room access so if you forget your keycard or phone, you can still open your room door. Clean room with the option to sign in to netflix on TV. Great area.

This location was very central to some of the locations most tourists want to visit in Seoul. Convenient to get to by public transportation or walking. Also - a LOT of dining options close by. A very “happening” nightlife for locals and visitors.

Great comfy bed, great water pressure, great location for local feel.
Nothing like Myeongdong’s bling scene.
Room is small and toilet can’t take a big body - think the size of airplane toilet space.
Staff was wonderful and very welcoming!

Great hotel and very nice staff
Nice hotel, good breakfast and very nice staff. The house cat is also very kind. The only negative i have about the stay is that our only window in room was blacked out (some like that but i like natural sunlight) and that the room felt a bit small at times. Perfect place to start your vacation in seoul with

The staff at the facility go the extra mile to assist despite language being a barrier. The check in and check out was seamless. The hotel was centrally located but it could be difficult to find the first time if you don’t know the area. The breakfast was an added bonus, Real nice place to stay.

It was a four-person room, but it was spacious and comfortable. There was also a clothes dryer, which was helpful in getting rid of the garlic smell from my clothes. However, the bath was unusually large and I couldn't fill it with hot water. Why is the bathroom so spacious?
