Strategic location, exceptionally clean room and there’s even a washing machine with detergent prepared in the room. The owner even rushed back to the hotel to give us back the luggage because we have arrived earlier than promised for luggage collection.

The hotel is very nice and the staff are all helpful. A special thank you to the hotel staff who covers the night shift on 3 Oct. It was raining quite heavily that night and my friend and I waited in rain outside of Seoul station for almost 3 hours in midnight but could not get a taxi. I called the hotel 7 times for help and the staff was really responsive although he didn’t manage to get us a taxi either. I think I was quite rude for my last one or two calls but he was really comforting and considerate and he went down to the outside of the hotel to pick us up when we finally arrived. It might be hard to get a taxi in Seoul but it’s easy to get help from the hotel.

The traditional Korean-style house has been remodeled with a modern touch, creating a charming and clean space. The place is newly opened, so everything is spotless. The bedding was particularly soft and comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep, and the dormitory beds were more spacious than usual. Its close proximity to Myeongdong Station made it easy to explore different neighborhoods, and it was also conveniently located near the night market. I would definitely love to stay here again on my next trip!

    It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

    Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.

    This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
