The Cube Hotel

Great location in Seoul to walk around, only about 200 metres from the train station. Cool neighbourhood. Fun little cubes to sleep in with plenty of space to sit up and not feel claustrophobic. This is a great location to experience Seoul from, with touristy areas just to the north (Myongdong), a nice little mountain to walk up just to the south (Namsan), and a series of traditional markets to the northeast.

Like many places in Korea I imagine, they have suffered a lot from the covid lockdowns of the last couple years. International staff needed to be laid off and the few visitors have been local. The one guy running the place has had his hands extremely full, so please give him some understanding. Nevertheless, you should visit this place international people! Also, it's a hostel, so don't expect luxury accommodations.

Very well located and has everything a backpacker might need. Towel, body wash & shampoo, hair dryer, generic self-serve toast-egg-ham-cereal breakfast, plus you can buy things like instant noodles and cola in the lobby. The capsules have a decent amount of space to have some of my things in with me. You can borrow an electric heating pad to keep you warm, but the place was nice and warm in general. The staff was very nice and you can keep your luggage in the lobby before/after check-out.

The whole place could use a deep clean. In all fairness, the capsule itself was okay but besides my bed, the rest of the place just felt a bit sticky. Also, I stayed in a room in which the metal lockers are inside the room (most others are on the corridor). So I was woken up by people banging locker doors regularly. Also, there was no space for big luggage in the rooms so be prepared to keep your luggage in the lobby (obviously, not very handy). Overall though, for the price I would recommend.

Great location - close to the market streets, yet quiet at night. Comfortable beds. The pods in the dorms are set up quite nicely (with power outlets and a little shelf). Common area is cozy and comfy. Friendly staff. Clean facilities.

Rooms are rather small and so are the lockers - the only space to leave larger suitcases or backpacks is in the common areas. The light in the room is on 24/7, which is bothersome despite the privacy curtains. The door to my room was held open using a fire extinguisher, so I woke up to people passing through the common area late night. Bathrooms are very tiny - a person using the sink will have to give way to another using the toilet or showers.

While the rooms are very tight, the capsule/beds themselves are fairly spacious and very comfortable. A great location for exploring Seoul especially within a short time period.

There was no place to store luggage such as suitcases in the room or in the provided lockers, so we had to leave them in the main lobby during the day. Of course, there is CCTV cameras but I was still not super comfortable with doing this. Also, the hotel only provides instant coffee for the morning rather than fresh.

Great location with beautiful views of the sky tower from the street. There's also a little cafe nearby that sells coffee and the most delicious tiramisu I've ever had - went there about 5 times. Hostel was good, quite busy, but nice private pods and comfortable beds. Breakfast was good and simple, pretty standard for korean hostels.

Not the cleanest, and barely any space for luggage within the rooms/lockers. Had some issues with check-in that I managed to sort once I figured out who was working there.

The location is very good and really close to the metro station.

It was indicated that they served breakfast, but they are no longer offering the breakfast due to the pandemic. The info should have been updated on the website.

The location in Myeongdong is perfect for a first time in Seoul! Breakfast is provided, you can cook it for yourself. And the bed provided the perfect intimacy.

I don't know how often the bathroom is cleaned but at some point of the week it was pretty dirty. Also, the hotel is on the third floor, without any elevator which can be a problem is you have heavy bagages.

Loved the quiet, privacy, and convenience of everything provided. Bathrooms and amenities were great. Beds were comfy, quiet, and felt very private. The rooftop area was really nice for relaxing and eating, with a view of N. Seoul Tower. Easy access to the metro, plus lots of good food and shopping nearby. I would stay again!

If you tend to get warm at night, I recommend bringing a quiet, portable fan into your bunk. I found the room rather warm, but that's just a personal preference and I think most people would be fine.

Lovely and helpfull staff, spacious and clean toilets, decent breakfast and in selfservice manner. You could trust everyone staying and working there. Nice sized cabinets for your belongings. Bed/Cubes were spacious and private. Great A/C. Cute rooftop terrace. Handy laundry machines. Close to metro and buss stops, Myeongdong is such a lovely and lively area!

Amazing location a 5 minute walk to the subway and a 10 minute walk from street food. Very close to Seoul Tower and the surrounding park as well. Place was clean, beds were comfy and the AC kept the room nice and cool. 3 separate showers stalls per gender and I never had to wait to use one. Overall great experience.

Staff were very friendly but could maybe have been a bit more available.
