The location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk from Myeongdong and close to the airport bus. It’s also within walking distance of the famous Onion, Layered, and Artist cafés. The staff are very friendly, and the room was spacious with an excellent bed. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Seoul.

It was conveniently located in a fun area of town. The breakfast was better than I expected for a hostel. I loved the independent ability I had to prep and clean my own meal.

I love it! My stay at Sleep Box was exceptional! This was no doubt the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Excellent location, right in the middle of the lively Myeongdong but yet very quiet inside the facility! The hostel is exceptionally clean and modern. And the owner was soooo kind and friendly! The whole experience made me felt so warm and welcomed!!! I honestly felt a little sad when leaving Seoul. It was a short stay but I felt so much like home in Seoul and at the hostel, especially. I will definitely recommend Sleep Box to my friends and for sure I will stay there again when I'm back in Seoul! :D

I cant praise the owners high enough. Everything they did for me was beyond exceptional. Henry the manager, allowed me to check in early and check out late. Mr. Lee, the owner booked an Uber car for me as I had no idea how to book one in Korea. He paid with his own credit card and just charged to my room. Then he accompanied me to the pick up point. He insisted i sit in the back, Im guessing for safety reasons. He spoke to the driver, Im assuming to give instructions as the driver keeps on nodding his head. I felt very safe. After checking out , he insisted he helps me to carry my luggage to the pick up point. I have gained a new friend and he said the same. To me Seoul DDJ Stay is not just a hotel. It is a home. Their level of hospitality would be hard to beat even by those so called 5 star hotels. I have plans to visit Korea again, this time with family. Can't wait to check in with them again.I very highly recomend this business.

It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.

This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
