Cave was clean, responsive, affordable, and extremely central. We had a private room with a private restroom. Check in was very easy - we didn't have wifi upon check in, and it was smooth.The location is ideal as a hub to go to different Gu's in Seoul. We had consistent hot water, a fridge in the room, and air conditioning. They even have a rooftop lounge area that allowed us to bask in the moonlight and city lights--all for an extremely affordable price. We will be checking with Cave for availability the next time we go to Seoul for sure.

Overall room was clean and quiet. Washroom is a wet bathroom so no shower stall and a bit of mold residue. Which I knew when I booked it. If you don't like that than I wouldn't stay here. Perfect place to just sleep and shoert term stay, close to myeongdong (about 5 minute walk)

I stayed for about 5 days and 6 nights. I noticed that the staff were very accommodating and helpful with all the questions and concerns I had. The room was also clean and comfortable. Close to Myeongdong and a great place to stay for a solo trip.

Seoul stay

Stayed here for 4 nights. I’ll start by saying It’s in a good location if you want to be in myeongdong. The hotel itself is on a bit of hill so bare that in mind if you have large bags/suitcases. The hotel is self check in so was easy enough to do. The rooms are small and not the cleanest with dirty/moldy wires hanging out of the AC unit. Plus the bathroom too. The shower is attached to a wall next to the toilet. Which is anything it’s quite a smelly place as the smell comes up through drainage hole. We stayed on the first floor and whenever someone comes through the main entrance door it slams so hard, the door to our room kept slamming. All In all I’d say is for what we paid for 4 nights Seoul it’s hard to make to many complaints with it being a budget friendly place. It’s just a few small issues that me be enough to put others off. So perfect location. Rooms could do with a bit of work.

Good budget central Seoul solo stopover

Reasonably-sized but quite dark room that felt a touch claustrophobic, but that’s the only negative. Bathroom is a wet room which works really well. Bed was super comfy. Location was 5 mins’ walk from Myeongdong Subway Stn on the Subway but uphill - fine for me but some folk may struggle with lots of luggage. First time in Seoul, so I wanted to stay central. This was a good choice as it was near to Myeongdong Street, but away from the crowds and quiet at night. Pleasant rooftop terrace with N Seoul Tower in view. Shared kitchen was small but had kettle and free drinking water available. Self check-in via an email and letter. I liked the fact that rooms are PIN entry so you don’t have a keycard to lose! Cave is a BUDGET accommodation and I was prepared for that and happy with it. Some people may think otherwise and expect more for their money.
Rooftop terrace view.
