    I really got great value for my money at this hotel. The room was cozy and had all the basics I needed. The location in the heart of Myeongdong was amazing, with shops and food just steps away.

    The room at ARA125 was amazing! It had air conditioning and a TV, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring Seoul. The city view from some rooms was an added bonus! As a budget traveler, I couldn't have asked for more.

    Personally, I wasn't a fan of the bidet in the private bathroom. But hey, that's just my preference!

    The rooms at ARA125 were great! They had air conditioning and a TV, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The city view from certain units was a nice bonus. As a family with children, we really appreciated the electric kettle in the single room. The beds were comfortable and the towels and bed linen provided were a nice touch.

    Lucy, the host, was incredibly kind and attentive to every detail, making me feel right at home. the hotel itself is newly renovated with modern facilities. the bed was spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom was complete with towels, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. the room also had a table, chairs, air conditioning, and heating, as well as cable TV. One of the highlights was the varied breakfast that could be served at any time. I also appreciated the free laundry service and the convenience of having a weight to weigh my luggage before my flight. Plus, there's a money exchange house and a 7-eleven nearby. I can't recommend this hostel enough!

    Absolutely nothing at all! 😊

    The hotel was conveniently located near popular attractions, such as Gwangjang Market and Namdaemun Market. The city views from the property were stunning, giving a glimpse of the bustling cityscape.

    Oh, yes, the breakfast room was cozy. if cozy means claustrophobic.

    The room at Ara125 was so cozy and comfortable, I felt right at home. The air-conditioning kept me cool, and the TV was a nice touch for some entertainment during my downtime. Plus, the city view from my room was absolutely stunning!

    The only thing I didn't love was that the bathroom had a bidet. It's just not my thing, but I'm sure others might appreciate it.

    I had an very nice stay at Ara125 in Seoul! The location was unbeatable, right in the heart of Myeongdong with easy access to transportation and all the shopping and dining options. The staff were friendly, making me feel welcome. The room, although small, was cozy and comfortable, with a nice bed and all the necessary amenities. The free breakfast and access to a kitchen area were a great bonus, allowing me to start my day off right. The hotel also provided laundry facilities, convenient. Despite being in the bustling city center, the room was surprisingly quiet, nice for a peaceful night's sleep. I do want to mention that the cleanliness of the room upon arrival was a bit of a letdown, with some stains on the towels and leftover items from the previous guest. the rest of my stay more than made up for it. I highly recommend Ara125 for its excellent location, friendly staff, and cozy accommodations.

    I recently stayed at a hotel in the heart of Myeongdong for a few nights. It was the perfect location for exploring the vibrant city. The hotel was well connected to public transport, making it easy for me to get around. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the room was cozy with a comfortable bed. I loved the free breakfast and the option to use the shared kitchen. The hotel also had laundry facilities, which was convenient. it was a great value for the price and I highly recommend it.

    I can recommend this hotel.
