Blue Boat Hostel Myeongdong

The location is convenient for us to travel around.

The bathroom's bin was not cleaned in all the days we were staying. The services included in our booking such as breakfast, tea, coffee were not provided.

Location near Myeongdong shopping was awesome and near great restaurants

The heater had some issues. Rooms were small but for the price you can’t beat it and JJ helped answer any questions super nice guy

My stay was good. The staff were friendly, helpful, and spoke English well. The rooms were clean, well-organized, and peaceful. The location was good—15 minutes to the Myeongdong area—though it’s about a 10-minute walk from the nearest subway station.The shared toilets (2 for 4 rooms) were surprisingly convenient, as one was usually available when needed. They also provided quality toiletries, including shampoo and cleanser. The Wi-Fi was fast and free, and the washing machine, dryer, and steamer were all excellent.

The main thing I didn’t like was that the hostel allows drinking. If you don’t drink, like me, this can really affect your stay. The first-floor lounge always had a noticeable beer smell, which was unpleasant, and I didn’t feel entirely safe when some guests were drunk. I believe the hostel should reconsider its policy on this matter.That said, when I raised my concerns with the staff, they were very understanding and helpful. They upgraded me to another room with a private sitting area, which I truly appreciated, even though it didn’t completely solve the issue.

Nice price Good staff Good location Nice facility Everything works

I don’t remember.

I loved the cozy aesthetic of the place. It's unassuming on the outside - the building is a bit old - but inside it's nicely decorated. The receptionist was kind and friendly. She helped me out when I had an issue with the washing machine.

The rooms were a bit small but it was okay for the price. I did get a 50% discount so can't complain

Love that it was near the Myeongdong Street night market, walkable there and to the train stations as well.

No elevator, but I was told this is usual in hostels here.

Accomodating manager, he is good in english and provides a little more help for solo traveler. Clean snd good scented rooms, with tissue and wet wipes, good wifi, nice decorations.

The room is not spacious enough for 4 persons. Room is not safe and the door sometimes opens, but they have locker though. The location is also quite far from their directions. Better to make G2 Hotel as their Landmark so it would be much easier to locate.

The location was quite decent, with plenty of cafes and food spots nearby, which made it convenient to explore the area. The check-in process went smoothly, and it was helpful to have toilets and showers available on every floor. I appreciated the secure access to the room, which could be opened using either a code or a key. The manager was kind and responsive, answering many of our questions during our stay. The place also provided useful amenities such as drinking water, hot water for tea, coffee, a microwave, plates, and some basic utensils.

The property seemed to need a deep cleaning and some renovations, as it felt somewhat neglected. The cooktop in the kitchen wasn’t working, so we couldn’t prepare our own meals. Our room had a small window facing a wall, so there was very little natural light. We were also unable to adjust the air conditioning—neither the fan speed nor the temperature could be changed—which made it difficult to control the room’s climate. Additionally, the room was very small, making the space feel quite cramped.

The location

Dirty, dated, small

The people and the location. Seeing snow fall at meyongdong.

Was greated by a big pile of vomit at the front of the reception/dining area. Wasn't a pleasant smell. That's all my 7 year old son remembers about Korea

The host was really nice, helpful and friendly. We had enough place to eat and sleep confortably. The emplacement was really nice because we were next to a lot of things.

The location is superb! Only 10min walk to Myeongdong shopping street and also short walk to line 2 metro station where you can get to lot of places. Room was cozy but small, but that didn't bother me at all. The staff there were so nice and offered help woth lot of things. Check in with Rita was quick and easy and JJ gave lots of tips and offered coffee in the mornings.

The only minus I would give is that there was some problems with humidity in the hotel. In the bathroom there's some mold you can see and also the walls in the room had some water damage to them. Cleaning wasn't top notch either with some stains in the walls and hairs on the bed. Nothing super bad.

Very nice lobby, all needed appliances for preparing some noodle breakfast. Rooms clean, everything fine, nothing broken. Doors to room closed by magnetic card lock, much appreciated.

I had a broken toilet on my floor, so I needed to go 2 floors down. The light in my bed was broken, hanging on wires.

Nice room, clean bathroom, good heating in winter, good wifi, free coffee, friendly staff, good location.

Common area was clean, room was well heated and bed was very comfy, location to central areas very good. Amazing restaurant next door.

Communal bathroom was only properly cleaned once during my 6 night stay. The floor was sticky and covered in hairs etc., it’s a good job sandals are provided. Not a social hostel at all, didn’t find it particularly welcoming and didn’t have the chance to speak to anyone during the entire stay - including staff..

Really good location, central and close to the station so could travel anywhere really quickly

Maybe some of the facilities were not that clean, and the shower situation was so so weird, idk about that… it’s manageable though. I would stay again but maybe only if other options at similar price were unavailable. It’s fine though.

A clean room and bathrooms, a nice common area, a good wifi, a good heating, a good location near two metro stations, friendly staff. I can only recommend it. A good value for money

Staff were friendly, the location is perfect, near MyeongDong. Very convieniently close to lots of subways. Room was adequate and wifi was fast. Good for value. There's a few flights of stairs you just have to carry your luggage up. Might need to ask for help if you are coming within office hours of the hostel.

Room is ok, there was air conditioner

I am not sure the reason is due to the location, but the toilet is prohibited to flush tolet papers and share toilet is super small and uncomfortable

7 minute walk from local trains. Great staff. Very good, clean facilities. I found the bed to be a tiny bit stiff but that is probably because I am used to being a pampered Westerner.
