Starria Hostel was an amazing find! The place is spotless, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The communication was top-notch, and the location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to Myeongdong and the metro. It made exploring the city so easy! I absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and affordable stay.

Amazing 11/10 stay

From check in to check out everything was amazing. The host was very nice and friendly, let me check in early and we even chatted a little before I headed out for the day. Room: The room was very cute, extremely clean, and amenities + water bottles were provided. I had my own private bathroom which was great. There was AC and heating, and floor heating as well. It was cozy, enough space for my suitcase and shopping bags. Location: It's in a great location! Myeongdong is a great place to go shopping and it was in walking distance so I could shop and then walk back to drop off all my bags and then head somewhere else. The station was maybe a 4-5 min walk away? It is up a hill so if you have some mobility issues then it might be a little hard. Also, in winter it is a little slippery but not very bad. Overall, this was an awesome place to stay! Very cute, clean and convenient. Will definitely book again in the future and recommend to all my friends !

The host/staff let me store my luggage for a few hours before the check in time and after my check out so that was very nice. The hostel was clean in general, the lobby was very spacious with lots of chairs to sit around and there's a corner with a good collection of LPs. I was also able to use their washing machine/dryer during my stay free of charge. Although I stayed in a room with no windows, it has 2 twin size beds so there was a lot of space for me to put my things. The small bathroom doesn't have a divider between the toilet seat and shower area so everything gets wet. There are also instances where the water from the shower seeps through the bathroom door so I had to face the nozzle away from the door. No breakfast is included when I stayed but there are coffee and sandwich shops down the street. The hostel is 6 mins walk to the myeongdong subway station, the local bus stops and airport bus stop. At night when walking the street towards the hostel I could see namsan tower at the top of the mountain. Overall my stay was comfortable and the staff was really attentive and always ready to help. Thank you and keep up the great work!

3泊だったのでお部屋のお掃除は無く、ゴミ捨てもセルフですが、バスタオルが交換できるのは良かったです。外国人スタッフさんも説明等簡単な英語で対応してくれますし、すれ違うと笑顔で挨拶してくれます。坂道ですが明洞駅から割と近く便利です。私は部屋が4階でしたがたぶん目の前が電光掲示板で、明け方まで赤と青がずっとチカチカしていました。カーテンだけじゃ遮れずかなり明るいのでアイマスクを持って行けばよかった、、と思います。周りは全部シングルルームだったからか、隣の部屋の話し声とかは全く聞こえませんでしたが、廊下の端から端に向かって喋る宿泊客の声がかなりうるさかったです。真夜中と早朝、何度起こされたことか、、隣の部屋の人とシャワーのタイミングが被ったら水か熱湯しか出なくなり、隣の人も困ってそうな雰囲気を壁越しに感じました。トイレにシャワーと洗面台がついてるタイプ初めての経験でしたが、部屋が水浸しになりました笑 2日目からコツを掴みましたが、、笑シャワーとベッドがあるだけでいいや！と思い値段重視で選びましたが、リピートはないです。

Waschmaschine, Trockner, Selbstversorgerküche mit wirklich allem, was man braucht. Handtücher so viel und so oft man will. Alles im Gebäude sehr sauber. Super Lage in Myeong Dong. Und vor allem: unglaublich netter, hilfsbereiter Hostelbetreiber, der für alles Lösungen und Antworten findet auf Fragen, die absolut nichts mit seinem Job zu tun haben. Im Herbst komme ich wieder. Das Zimmer (dasselbe wie jetzt) ist schon gebucht für wiederum 3 Wochen.

Super séjour !!

Superbe ! Je recommande cet hôtel et y séjournerai à nouveau pour mon prochain séjour. Excellent rapport qualité-prix. L’hôtel est très bien placé, au centre de Séoul et des points d’interêt principaux touristiques. Situé à moins de 5 min de la station de métro, entouré de restaurants, supermarchés et magasins. Le staff est très agréable et attentionné. Chambre et salle de bain très propres. Serviette, linge de lit, brosse à dents, gel douche, shampooing fournis. Pensez à prendre du dentifrice, seuls des échantillons sont fournis. La chambre dispose d’un mini réfrigérateur, sèche-cheveux, d’une télévision, porte-manteau et climatisation, mais pas d’armoire. WIFI très bon. Si vous êtes sensible à la lumière et au bruit, pensez à prendre des boules quies et masque pour les yeux. En raison du Covid, le service de petit-déjeuner n’est plus proposé, mais la cuisine est à disposition des clients (congélateur, réfrigérateur, bouilloire, cuiseur à riz, plaques de cuisson, micro-onde, machine à café, grille-pain, fontaine à eau et tout le nécessaire pour cuisiner/manger). Une machine à laver et un sèche-linge sont aussi à disposition gratuitement.

Staff seemed pleasant. Check in was easy, check out took a little longer as I had to wait for someone to show up to the front desk and there was no means for calling them once at the front desk. Property was very secure. The room we stayed in was very small, and the bathroom/shower area was minuscule, but was well kept. The towel provided was more like a flannel, but it lasted for our 5 day stay. The first morning I showed up to breakfast I arrived at the start and nothing was prepared yet, and had to serve myself whilst everything was put out. Selection was always the same every day. Bread, that can be toasted. Cheese slices, jam, butter. Two types of cereal. Milk. Water dispenser. Coffee machine. Orange Juice. Also there was a basket of eggs, and 2 utensils for making scrambled eggs. Me and my girlfriend wanted to try on the traditional clothing that is available in this dining area also. Unfortunately though there was only female clothing available. It was fun, and was a nice extra experience to the hostel. Overall it was a pleasant stay. We spent most our time in Korea away from the hostel, so it sufficed as somewhere just to come home too and sleep. The main plus of this hostel is its location. It is very easy to get too from the nearby subway station. Takes just 5-10mins to walk there, and has many places on the road to eat, and get supplies. It is ideal for walking to the nearby markets, and to Seoul Tower. The subway nearby can easily take you anywhere you like.
