Slow Vibe Myeongdong

Last minute reservation for my daughter and friend! Location was great due to it being centralized!

The location is perfect! The room is spacious, and the kitchen is very large too. You’ll need to prepare your own breakfast or buy something at the market next door. The accommodation has a lovely backyard where you can relax. It’s also very quiet and peaceful! The lady in charge was absolutely lovely and very helpful. She recommended a great hairdresser just a 6-minute walk away.

Since you share the accommodation with other guests and there are several rooms, how quiet it is depends on how busy it is and which guests are staying there. If everyone respects the quiet hours after 10 p.m., it’s lovely and easy to sleep. During my stay, some guests were still loud at night. But around midnight it quiet. One tip: after checking out, I think it’s better to store your luggage in a locker at the metro station, which is about a 7-minute walk away. I don’t think the owner would appreciate having everyone leave their luggage at the accommodation, which is understandable. After all, you’re also responsible for your own belongings.

Our stay at Slow Vibe Hotel was pleasant. It is worth mentioning that the location and price are unbeatable, so you cannot expect a five-star experience. The room is very simply furnished and has lost some of its former charm over the years. You should also be aware that the rooms are quite poorly soundproofed, as we could clearly hear and understand people talking in the hallway. However, if these things do not bother you, this hotel is a good option. It is also important to mention that the room was very clean and the owners were extremely friendly.

Location is great. Kitchen is nice. Room is very comfy--absolutely love the wooden floors, and the heat.

Other guests were very loud, multiple times, late at night. Made sleeping/staying asleep difficult. Really needs to have a staff member on site to manage the guests, or better screen them--most were very young and treated the place like a noisy hostel. Putting in real showers is also needed as the bathroom floors were always wet. The locks on the bathroom doors also didn't work, so many very awkward encounters occurred over our stay. Also didn't like that the entire house was taken up with rooms, effectively meaning there was no place to sit/use after 10 PM, as the kitchen has guest rooms right next to it; same with the living room. The driveway is super steep, so with snow and ice, it was really quite scary. Guests for some reason couldn't operate the front door properly, so many times the alarm would go off until someone could figure out how to disable it. Again, there really needs to be a staff member there throughout the day.
