Calistar Hotel

Location is good. That's the only strong point.

Every thing is so small n narrow. Could hardly bathe in the toilet. Wrong location of the shower head. No space to manoeuvre at all when taking a bath. Nowhere to hang clothings. In the lobby there is a coffee machine which is just a showcase. Can't even have a decent cup of coffee. Adjacent rooms are not sound proof. Can hear hangings next door.

Location

Small room and poorly furnished for the price

Location

The rooms are too tiny, dirty, and it was like living in a jail cell, you cant even have a cup of coffee in your room. horrible. Ridiculous. Only thing you could have in your room was water and a shower. the staff was very unfriendly. not at all a good experience.

Location

Nobody is at the front desk until 3PM.Alarms would sound like crazy at 10AM for no reason and no explanation. Really loud voice messages directly to your room only in korean.A lot of restrictions, for example; they won’t allow you to eat in your own room.Maids trying to open the door with no notice.Not full door in the shower, you’ll make a mess of water all over the bathroom every time you take a shower.No bidet.

Location is central to all tourist destinations. It is also near subway stations.

The ad did not disclose that the female dorm’s toilet is actually a public toilet in the building. There were other people from the other nearby stores using the toilet. You cannot eat in your room and cannot use the kitchen beyond 1am. Thus, it was a huge problem for me who is usually awake at night for my work. Myeongdong does not have 24h food shops too so it would have helped if I could eat in the kitchen. There is also only 1 socket available and there is nothing but the bed inside the room so avoid this place if you’re bringing work with you. You are also not allowed to use the shower beyond 1am, not even if you just want to wash your hands in the lavatory. The attendant caught my friend washing her hands and turned off the lights after threatening her with a penalty even when she was still inside the shower room. He could not even politely ask her to leave. I booked another hotel on our 4th day of stay because the attendant wrongfully accused me and threatened me with a penalty saying that I left the shower open and I was the last person he saw in the CCTV. Not only was I not the last one who took a shower, I also never used the cubicle in question. I did return to the shower room after a while because I took a photo of my outfit in the only full body mirror available in the facility, but he assumed automatically and did not leave us room to explain.I would nor recommend this hotel to any of my friends.

To me, the location was perfect - on one end of Myeongdong's Street Food and a few mins walk to 2 different train stations. I step out and I have access to so many different restaurants and cafes. We were thankful for how close everything was, nothing needed more than 10 minutes walk. Train stations nearby as well as buses. Perfect for first time visitors.

Can get noisy from outside since being so near to restaurants for tourists but I was too tired to care.

Location

The staff are so rude he did not allow me to enter he said that the dorm is only for women’s and i told him to change it no problem he said no and they did not refund my money too instead he told me you have to pay for another new reservation

Great place to stay-in! Lots of food/restaurant around to eat at. However, you cannot eat inside the room and you must eat in the kitchen.

The hotel is at good place, there are many restaurants near.

Tha man in the reception can be described as rude. For first time I see a rude Korean! There are some strange rules, like ironing clothes is forbidden. Also, you have to keep clean the towels. But when you use the towels, they are not clean anymore...then what? We couldn't turn on the A/C due to some technical issue and the same man on the reception refused to help us. So we slept with a kid in cold room.

Good location, reasonable price

Unable to adjust room temperature since it's a centralised aircon

It's clean, shower room had all amenities I need. The location is so good with lift too, best for travelers with big baggage

Hotels need to provide their own toilets since they are outside the dormitory area. The toilets are joint use with other tenants building

Great location, room size is decent.

The hotel shares the building with tens of restaurants (and not just the ground floor) so the building has strong odors.The room had a bit stuffy smell as there are no Windows

The location is perfect for first time travellers to Korea bec it is near the shopping areas, restaurants and street foods. Also very near the train station.The bed, pillows and blanket are very comfortable.

The room is a little small but it's OK. It's bigger than what we had in HKThe dinning area is small

Good location, very close to metro and comfortable to eat, shopping.

Don‘t have staff whole day, only have sometimes. So, if you need anything or any help during staff left, you must to wait the back on their shift

Easy access to subway & myeondong shopping center

Signage of hotel difficult to find since the entrance not even stated street no

location

only gives you one key carddoes not clean room dailylobby opens late (3pm)

Location of the hotel was perfect. It's literally in myeongdong shopping district. Have 3 floor building in-front with 3 different restaurant. 2 minutes walk to 7/11 and a pharmacy. 1 minute walk to Starbucks and another coffee shop.

Room was small and not clean since I saw 2 small cockroach so we had to chase it since we didnt want to sleep with a coackroach roaming the room. Air condition was not cold. Shower didnt have a divider or it wasnt isolated so every time you take a shower your whole bathroom is wet, it was messy. They will change your towel every morning and get the trash but they touched my Rimowa cabin luggage so they kinda added some scratches which I'm not sure how they did it.

I love that fact it is in a busy area and that there is always places open for meals or even a late night snack. The location was located on the upper floor so you can't hear the noise from the street level. The area surrounding the hotel has a lot of great shops nearby.

The room wasn't what I was expecting. The room was pretty small, too small to have luggage with you. Luckily I didn't have any but for anyone planning on staying, don't bring luggage, only a back pack. The bathroom is also really small. It is confusing a little due to the combination of the sink and shower. The whole back is a shower so best to move the toilet paper out of the room and keeping your cloths outside of the bathroom as well.

The location is great! It is right in the heart of Myeongdong market. The train station and bus station were within walking distance.

There is no space to put 2 medium sized luggages in the room.

The hotel was central to all the shopping and walking activities

AC was not cool enough. We were suffocating for at least 3 hours until it was room temperature (not even cool) to sleep at around 2am…Room was dirty and the receptionist was rude when we arrived. Perhaps it’s the language barrier. But his attitude was not welcoming and unpleasant.
