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.
