Amazing location for Seiul sightseeing - two major subway stops are very close and the area around the hotel leaves days for exploration. Very clean, room was spatious, coin laundry available. Staff extremely polite.

The room was very spacious and comfortable; the free minibar was very appreciated! The location was great, right in the middle of an area full of good shops and restaurants (right in front of the hotel there are many Korean fried chicken shops, which were a delicious option after a long day of sightseeing!).

The accomodation is in a great location if you are in Seoul for sightseeing, right in the middle of the main spots and close to 3 lines of subway. As for the accomodation itself, it was just everything we could ask for. Room was small but thanks to the space under the bed we fit with 6 suitcases very comfortably. The kitchen had everything too, ramen, tea, water and coffee for free. Everything was clean and the staff was always incredibly helpful and welcoming. One staff member even offered me and my friend her umbrella when it was raining, she was the sweetest. Highly recommend!

We were really happy with our stay. The staff were exceptionally friendly and kind, they wouldn’t even let me carry my own bag up the stairs. The location is perfect, just a one minute walk from the subway station, with plenty of lively nightlife around the hotel. Despite that, the rooms are well insulated, so it’s quiet inside. The rooms were clean, equipped with good air conditioning, and the shampoo and body wash smelled great. We also appreciated the free ramyeon as well as the complimentary washing machine and dryer. I would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to come back again

self check-in and self check-out, but the location is very good! Easy to find, and the small kitchen has coffee machine and ice machine, the only thing is that the ice cubes are not enough, for late nights or early morning, it's empty. But in general, I love this place!!!!!

Breakfast served as a Korean-style course meal and was delicious, but the Korean-style menu has a somewhat spicy menu. The bed is soft and the bedding is clean. The location is good

    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.
