Small room but reasonable for the price we paid. Staff was great, spoke good English. The area was convenient with subway stop just a steps away. The entrance is a bit odd, it’s located in what feels like an alleyway, but it felt safe. Walking distance to the night market and lots of good places to eat around. No issues storing our luggage before check in and after check out.

Wonderful staff. They were friendly and helpful. Let us check in early. The location is great as well. It is close to subway. You can use exit 7 or 10. 10 is advisable if you have luggages with you. There is an elevator you can use but you have to cross the street.

The property is slightly dated - there is visible wear and cleanliness issues. The rooms are small, but what makes up for everything is the amenities and the customer service. The staff are very helpful and supportive. Look im not easy customer. i made lots of requests to deal with the cleanliness on the first they. but they did bend over to help me achieve the cleanliness i wanted.

Compact room
The hotel provides basic amenities and breakfast @ 8-10am. Shower and toilet inside the room. Small side table and ref beside the bed. Kitchen and laundry in common area. Location is very close to a subway station (Euljiro 3-(sam)-Ga exit 7. Walking distance from Myeongdong and shopping streets. No problem with check-in.

Had a great time staying at this hotel. Stayed for 5 nights. Hotel staff was super nice,spoke English really well. Served simple breakfast; toast, cereal etc. We got the twin bed room, room was small (suitable for 2 Asian-sized girls). You need to put your bag on your bed to get clothes out but we didn't really mind. Bathroom was very clean, heated toilet seats with automated bidet. Since we stayed close to winter, heater was on full blast. Even floor was heated. So we were always warm and toasty in the room. There's a lift going up to the hotel (its on the 5th floor) so no need to worry about carrying luggage up the stairs. The hotel even has a washer/dryer. So you can do you laundry. Just need to pay a little extra (but its very cheap!) Location, very near to the Euljiro(3)-ga station. Go out from Exit 7, up the stairs. Turn back, police station is on your left. Walk a few steps, the turn left into the first lane. Hotel will be right in front of you (its next to a printing shop). Its not exactly facing main road, so its not too noisy. Although you can hear sirens occasionally. Nothing that bothered us. If you're just looking for a place to crash after a whole day exploring Seoul, this is the hotel for you. If you want somewhere you can relax the whole day in a hotel, better find somewhere else. Not suitable for families I would think as space is limited.

Good location to move around the nearby main trourist attractions, e.g. Namsan park, Dongdaemun, Namdaemun, Myeongdong. Same as what's mentioned by others, the room is just tiny but ok if you just need a clean place to sleep.

Convenient
It is a hostel and the room is tiny but has it's own bathroom built in so great for a clean place to stay overnight. If you are not ambulatory or physically steady, this may not be the place for you. There is little to no floor space so you have to climb on the bed(s) to get around the room.

Cosy hotel in a great location
This is a nice, little hotel in a central area of Seoul close to transport links and walking distance so some major tourist sites. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Very straightforward and easy checking-in and checking-out process. Very clean and everything has a modern look to it. Rooms are fresh and air conditioned. The rooms are quite small and not particularly spacious for moving around, however this is to be expected considering the price is very affordable and superb value for money. There is storage space. The bathrooms are good - the shower is part of the room as a space-saving method. The breakfast is standard and basic but that's all I needed so I was happy with that. Wifi is available throughout the hotel and rooms have TVs and accessible power sockets. The location is good - very close to a subway station, a shopping centre, places to eat, and not far from tourist sites. I'd say this hotel is best suited to the solo, couple or business travelling types. Overall a great hotel for the price, would recommend, and would stay there again.

Welcoming and nice smelling hotel
The economy room was smaller than expected so it is better to book the normal rooms if you need space to pack your things.The staff there is really friendly as they always greet you. My friend and I wanted to go to a strawberry festival but we are not sure how to book it as it is in Korean but the staff there were really willing to help us. However, if you want to shop in Myeongdong, it is pretty hard to walk there and if you take the subway, you have to change lines. I still enjoyed my stay there. Thank you!!
