My stay at Dears Myeongdong was quite enjoyable. The location was incredibly convenient, being just a short walk from Myeongdong and right by the Chungmuro subway station. While the room was mostly clean, it had a few dusty spots upon arrival, but the staff promptly took care of that. The soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a restful night. Overall, a charming option for budget-conscious travelers like me!

I had a blend of experiences at Dears Myeongdong. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the Chungmuro station and Myeongdong. The room was a little off from what I expected based on the pictures, and I did notice that the cleanliness could have been improved. However, the comfortable bed and available amenities made up for it overall.

My stay at Dears Myeongdong was quite the experience. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the Chungmuro subway station and a convenience store nearby. However, I did encounter a few bumps along the way, particularly with the room key issues that required me to change rooms mid-stay. Overall, it was a decent place to rest up, even if the staff didn’t always meet my requests as I had hoped.
