“Starria Hostel, exclusively for foreign guests, sits right in Myeongdong, making it a strategic base for exploring Seoul's vibrant shopping scene. I like that beyond the prime location and budget-friendly rates, it's the kind of place where the owner might just drive you to the station, a personal touch that stands out.
