I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was very convenient and within easy reach of all the major sightseeing spots I wanted to visit. The hotel was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. Having a small gym on-site was also a very convenient bonus. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

This was our first time in Seoul, Korea, and we decided to try sleepbox, a newly opened hostel — and we’re so glad we did. We stayed for four nights, and everything about our experience was amazing. The space is cozy and inviting, and the owners (a lovely family) were incredibly warm and welcoming — it felt like home the moment we arrived. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Myeongdong. It’s within easy walking distance to the metro and surrounded by shops, many of which stay open late into the night. Despite being in such a lively area, our room was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was another highlight — simple, but delicious. We truly enjoyed sitting down each morning, taking our time, and having great conversations. We would definitely come back and stay here again. Thank you for making our first trip to Seoul so memorable!

We were three girls traveling together and booked their only apartment on the top floor. There’s no lift, but we honestly didn’t mind at all. The apartment was spacious, spotless, and newly renovated, with everything we needed (washing machine, separate toilet/bathroom, and daily housekeeping which was a lovely surprise). What truly made this stay unforgettable were the owners, Mr. Lee and his family. From the moment we booked, they were incredibly attentive. Jason messaged us before arrival to help with directions and luggage, and throughout our stay both he and Mr. Lee were always ready with tips, guidance, and checked in on us, whether it was late night or early morning. Their kind gestures went far beyond what you’d expect from a hotel. They even hosted a small chicken gathering for us on our last night, which was one of the highlights of our trip. Their warmth, thoughtfulness, and constant presence made us feel not just welcome, but at home. The hotel also felt very safe as the entrance is only accessible with your room key, and Mr. Lee would stay awake until all the guests had returned at night, which gave us so much peace of mind. The location is also excellent. Just a minute’s walk from Jongno 5-ga station, with buses right outside that take you across the city (Myeongdong was just one bus away). Dongdaemun is also a short, scenic walk along the stream. We felt completely safe returning late at night, and there are plenty of restaurants, cafés, convenience stores, and pharmacies nearby. Gwangjang Market is only a 5-minute walk. The building itself is well-maintained and thoughtfully designed, with cooling air conditioners on every floor, a clean and spacious rooftop terrace, and a welcoming lobby where tea, coffee, and biscuits are always available. But above all, it’s the people who made this place so special. Mr. and Mrs. Lee, along with Jason and Henry, go above and beyond in a way that’s rare to find.

We enjoyed our stay. Chris is a great host and gave us great recommendations! The location is very close to Sinchon metro station and there are 100+ places to eat and drink nearby. On a nice street but also tucked away so it's quiet. Rooms were a good size. Quiet hostel so no disturbances. Felt very safe.This is a great option if you need a private place to stay in central Seoul!
