It’s clean, safe and secure building with TV, free wifi, washer, dryer, microwave and little kitchennete inside unit. No parking space at all. Overall very convenient and nice. There are so many beautiful restaurants and shops you could enjoy everyday surrounding area. The only down thing is the cleaning. I stayed there for 13 nights but they didn’t even change the bed sheets. When I asked, they said I have to purchase the cleaning service, I asked if I can get the new bed sheets so I can exchange, they said that’s only with cleaning service. I also asked extra bath towel, they said no. Me and my daughter survived with 2 bath towels by washing those everyday. I used washer much more than I used it at home. This is little ridiculous. And their mobile front desk phone number is pay phone number not the regular business number. That’s also ridiculous as well. If I can get extra towels and new bed sheets at, I might stay there again. Other than that, it was a cute and nice place. Communication was really inconvenient.

No staff on site to interact with. From checking-in, everything is contactless. They should make it more clear that room service is not included in the hotel charge, but is made available upon request for a significant cost. Meanwhile, there is no cleaning tools in the room. Very inconvenient for a long-term stay. But I like bed sheets; ultra clean and crisp.

I never received the instructions for self check in and when I tried contacting the property via email and phone number I got zero response from either. I ended up having to rebook somewhere else and file for a refund. And now they have the audacity to dispute my refund despite never contacting me. Expedia also dropped the ball by hanging up on me after being on hold for 30 minutes then closing my ticket. It was a very upsetting situation to be put in after being on a plane for 14 hours. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Excellent location
The location of this hotel is excellent. Very close to subway, bus stops, and several market places. Tons of eateries around and feels very safe, even in the middle of the night. The property is extremely clean and well maintained. Though there are several units on each floor, it is surprisingly quiet and I couldn't hear any sound from other units, only sounds from the hallway occasionally. I had a problem entering my info on their website (to get check in passwords) because there is no option for "hotels.com". I emailed them and got a reply within a day. I was able to figure it out. The website can use some work to make it easier. I also was not able to find additional toilet tissues during our stay.

Very well located, close to the main palaces, near two train stations. The only complaint is the toilet paper, very rough.

I would like to express my gratitude for staying at this lovely place. I was taken care of and had my questions answered even before checking in as I was coming in from Busan on the 25 April viz KTX. The personnel in charge was patient despite our communication barrier and was able to answer all my questions. More Hangers were provided for airing for dry clothes as requested earlier despite having requested it almost a year ago . They remembered ! The room, just as the picture had shown. It was great how all the check in information came in at the stated time for me before even arriving at the property . Hot water , cosy apartment , lovely, simple and clean minimalist style . Just like what it’s shown in the pictures . Would definitely considering returning . Very cool new cafe opened recently , serving really delicious einspanners . The location is convenient, but I would advice everyone to take exit 2-1 ( lift ) or exit 1instead to avoid the stairs, just saying if your knees aren’t strong like mine , it’s an additional 5 minutes more but it’s so worth it being of “flatter” ground . This apartment is right in the Center of the most happening cafe/ restaurant scene , and late night supper is available with just a stone’s throw away. Love that it was walkable to bukchon hanok village and the other Korean heritage places … insadong is nearby too … take the map and start pinning all the locations and you can cover most of it in just a day just by walking .😍😍😍

We stayed here for 7 days in April 2024. We had some initial issues getting the email with check-in information, and had to contact the online help-desk. Here, we were initially greeted by a chat-bot, but managed to communicate with real staff in the end. Even then, we had to translate messages from Korean to English ourselves. Besides that everything was very smooth as soon as we got the check-in information. Our room was as expected and having a laundry machine was nice. The area is very attractive as many of the main sight-seeing places are walkable from the hotel.
