Since it was just opened, I searched for it on Naver Maps or Kakao Maps and it didn't come up, so I was worried it might actually be there, but it turned out fine!
There was no floor guide on the website, so just to clarify, there is a kiosk on the 4th floor where you can check in, receive your room number and go to your room. The elevator goes up to the 5th floor, and there is a common space on the 6th floor where you can enjoy a cafe corner, ramen, and other services. The microwave was broken so I couldn't heat up my tteokbokki, which was disappointing 😭
The room was clean and had a refrigerator and table, so I had a comfortable stay!

This place was more spacious and comfortable than a capsule hotel, offering great value for money. The self-check-in after 8 PM was a breeze. I was lucky enough to get the room furthest back, so I wasn't bothered by noise from the entrance, and it even had a window! The bathroom had a hairdryer and hair iron, and it wasn't crowded around 7 AM, so I could get ready at my own pace. The location was excellent, within walking distance to Myeongdong, so I'd definitely like to stay here again.
However, I was told the ground floor door would be locked after 10 PM, but even after entering the password, it wouldn't open... Luckily, someone who was waiting for the elevator opened it for me from the inside.
When staying at Blue Boat Hostel Myeongdong, you'll be perfectly positioned to explore Jung-gu.

An excellent choice for travellers who prioritise a central and accessible location. Close to a bunch of subway lines, the downtown core, and the city’s historic palaces. The communal facilities are practical and well-maintained, offering convenient extras like a microwave, a coffee machine, and washing and drying machine. While the dormitories are simple, they are clean and well maintained. It is worth noting that the bunk beds are a standard design without privacy screens, but for those who don't mind a the property provides a reliable and comfortable stay in a great area.

Extremely satisfied!! I originally booked a guesthouse, but found out it had a shared living room, essentially a large suite, which meant terrible soundproofing. I canceled two days before my trip and rebooked this place instead, and the price was just right.
This hostel is small but has everything you need! I booked a double room, which was neither too big nor too small, and even had a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom. There was a desk, a fridge, chairs, and a three-tier cabinet! All very practical. My friend and I came back with lots of bags every day, and we could still spread out our two suitcases to organize them. Once organized, we could just slide them under the bed.
The room lighting was also great, Koreans really know how to do it 👍
The basement restaurant had free instant noodles, which I didn't eat much of, but it's a nice perk for those who don't like to eat breakfast but prefer a quick bite before heading out.
Plus, you can continue using the restaurant even after checking out! I checked out in the morning and had an evening flight, so I used the restaurant in the afternoon to rest, order some food, and then head to the airport. I'm not sure if you can still eat instant noodles after checking out; I personally think it's better not to take advantage, or just ask the staff to confirm. The staff were all very friendly, greeted everyone coming and going, and spoke excellent English.

This hotel has 3 main advantages: 1. Excellent team of administrators, always ready to help 2. Location perfect: historic center of Insadon, near 3 metro stations, one literally opposite the hotel 2. Soft mattress, pillows and blankets. Ideal location to Bunchon khanok Village 15 minutes walk, to Mendon 20, all nearby. I will definitely stop again

On arrival had average welcome. However, free water, tea and use of microwave in reception made up for this.
The hotel is very cutely decorated, aiming to have a European style with most/all decor. Most impressed with all the paintings done by Olivia Choi.
Breakfast was ample and although not a lot of variety for western style, korean style breakfast had a good variety and I can taste the heart of the aunties making them!
Room wise, again this was decorated with a bit of modern western style. However wasn't impressed with the lack of attention to details to certain areas, such as seeing a hair left on an unopened soap bar, grout between shower tiles not thoroughly cleaned, one of the towels having a very strong cleaning chemical smell. However, I wasn't expecting a 5 star hotel experience, and these were only tiny details that I noticed which weren't too much of a major problem. I mainly picked this hotel for its location and the room size.
If you're looking for a comfortable, large room stay in centre of Seoul, with easy transport access or even walkable distance to popular places like myeongdong and the 2 palaces, I would recommend it.

The location is fantastic! Right downstairs, there are all sorts of restaurants, and it's just off the street behind the Apple Store, very close to the subway entrance. You'll find women from all over the world staying here, and the resting environment is incredibly quiet. Everyone is very considerate about maintaining a good atmosphere. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

The room is smaller than I expected. The room light is a little dark due to yellow wall. The location is great for any popular spot. If you want convenient location, book this hotel for the price of better hotel but few station away.
Very Good

Great
RRoger Ow YongFirst time in Seoul and stay in hotel. Hotel was excellent: receptionist is helpful and courteous. Check in and out is fast. Hotel facilities is excellent too. Water pressure is high, with separate restrooms. Living room had a sliding door to close to separate restrooms and washing basin. Had a small vacancy is more than enough. Location is the best walking distance 2-3mins to hongdiv MRT station exit 9. Overall is professional and high standard of living. I surely with stay again for next trip to Seoul never regret . I like make commitment to housing keeping for the well done, receptionist will help to call taxi for customer . Well done !
GGuest UserHave been to Seoul many times now but it was my first time staying in Insadong. Convenient location, where first floor connects to the Insadong alley and also near bus stops and the train station.
Double room was spacious for a single person, and I believe it would be spacious enough for 2 too.
Amenities in the room are standard, like what you’d find in most hotels.
There’s a coin laundry room, 4,000krw to wash/dry respectively. Overall design of the hotel was
very tasteful.
Only thing I noticed was a corner of the bedsheet being slightly stained when I arrived on my first night, but nothing else that I’d deem negative for this hotel.
Would definitely recommend to others.
GGuest UserThe hotel boasts convenient transportation. You can take the airport bus to and from the airport, and the drop-off point is also where you catch the return bus, which is super handy. I took bus 6015 and got off at Myeongdong Station. After getting off, you'll see Subway Exit 8. Head towards Exit 8, and at the first intersection, turn right and walk straight. (Make sure you don't go past the CU convenience store; it's actually right opposite Exit 8.) It's quite close, just a few hundred meters walk. The hotel is also very close to our embassy, which gave me extra peace of mind. Every morning, I could see the embassy from my window seat. The room was a bit small; opening a 28-inch suitcase made it feel a bit cramped, but the hotel's cleanliness was good. The soundproofing was excellent; even though it's in lively Myeongdong, it was very quiet at night, which was fantastic.
AAnonymous UserLoved the location, close to metro and there’s a convenience store onsite. Room was bright, spacious, clean, had well built storage spaces. Gym was spacious, clean and new. Washing machine and dryer in room. The service staff were very polite and helpful.
The only thing that I thought could be improved on was perhaps the hotel providing some free laundry detergent. It’s not expensive to purchase from the front desk (krw 1000) but it’s a hassle to have to go down to purchase it. It’ll be nice and much more convenient if they just provide enough for a use or two in the room.
GgobacktonovemberThe hotel is very nice + very newly designed hotel.
Pros:
-nearby the sinsa station/area (but required around 5-7 minutes walk there)
-Big and cozy bed for two people
-Toilet with good warm water
-Good amenities
-Good space for 2 luggages to fit (big ones)
-Has a very nice cafe on the rooftop to see seoul city
-Able to see seoul towel from our room!
What to improve/Take note:
-the staff service at night can’t really speak english so sometimes I don’t understand what they say abiutbthe deposit when checking in.
-No microwave/only fridge available
-The walkway is actually on the slope/hills (the picture doesn’t show that much that the hotel is on the hill so anyone who has big luggages or on snow time it is recommended to book an uber on the winter time)
YYan-ZhengThis hotel is super close to Seoul Station, accessible from either Exit 1 or 7 (see picture 4). We had an overnight layover before catching the KTX, so staying here was incredibly convenient. You can even walk here along the Seoullo 7017 Skygarden. Plus, there's Lotte Outlets and a supermarket nearby for some shopping. We booked a family twin room with a queen bed (1.5m) and a single bed (1.1m), perfect for three people, and the space was just right. Check-out is at 12 PM, and at around 700 [currency, presumably KRW], it's really good value for money. The service was good, though we didn't get a chance to use any other facilities!
BBokexierdienThe hotel has a great location. It's just two turns away from Chungmuro Subway Station Exit 8. Airport buses 6105 and 6011 also stop near Exit 8, making it very convenient to get to the hotel.
It's a fully self-service hotel with a self-check-in machine that has Chinese language options, which is super handy.
The room door uses a key code, which is easy to operate. The bathroom is very clean, and there's a slight step down from the toilet area to the shower, which prevents water from splashing out.
Myeongdong is also within walking distance. I would definitely choose this hotel again on my next trip to Seoul.
GGuest UserIt's always a nice stay here! The location is very great, olive young is downstairs , and the subway station also downstairs, it's near the airport bus stop too! They have bidet and the toilet is scpacious, the room also spacious, you can store many luggages, they have tables and chairs too for you to eat or have some work, their receptionist lobby and all the staff also very helpful during my stay, definitely recommended, not to mention they have 24h convenient store at the 3rd floor and laundry room
PpawinboonAnother great stay. The check in was fast. The room was clean with ensuite shower and restroom. The floor heating is very good during this winter. Overall, it offers a very good value for money.
AAllysh@comfortable place...close to dongmyo flea market..have to wait for more money because it's random when walking, wash your eyes at dongmyo flea market..close to laundry..wanting to wash clothes in the middle of the night is ok..,,😂😂😂
