I had a great stay at Philstay Myeongdong Station. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of the Myeongdong shopping district and super close to the subway. However, the bathroom could use some improvements, especially regarding ventilation and size. Overall, I felt like I got good value for my money here.

I had a decent stay at Philstay Myeongdong Station, mainly because the location is absolutely unbeatable. It's super close to the subway and right in the bustling Myeongdong shopping area. However, I faced some issues with the room being quite small and not having the separate wet and dry bathroom as advertised, which was a letdown.

The facilities were okay but not overly impressive. They offered laundry services and a grocery shopping option, which could be handy for travelers. Still, if you're looking for hotel luxuries, this isn't quite it.

I recently stayed at Philstay Myeongdong Station for two nights and overall, I really enjoyed my experience. The location was perfect, just a few steps from the subway station and surrounded by a bustling market. The room was spacious and clean, but I did notice that the soundproofing wasn't great and I could hear noise from adjacent rooms. Still, I would definitely recommend this place for its convenience and comfort.
