Overpriced old 2-star hostel that's more like a student's dormitory than a so-called hotel. Though with very warm and helpful staff. Casual restaurants all around but quite a walk to nearest subway or bus stop.

Very small room with only one table that is shared with a huge 50inch TV, with hardly any space to put down and organise your things. Only 2 stools with no chair with high back. Shower head located oddly just next to the sink. Shower and tap share water inlet, have to switch back and forth, hence accidentally drenched myself twice.

Ground floor lobby very untidy with lots of old furniture and throwaways, like an old house. My window faces a slum. Front desk is not manned after 11pm, and elevators have no card access security. Meaning any stranger can just walk right in and go up to any floor after midnight. Overpriced for such a low quality accommodation.

Overpriced, real bad service.
it's more like room rental.

The rooms are extremely small, no place for even open suitcase.

Shower is horrible, and WiFi not working.

The front desk employee almost never there.

The only good thing I can say - they refund me right away after one horrible night, even though I booked for 3 nights.

right cross the street there is hotel with much better rooms and service.

The place has good potential if they will improve their service and has more competitive price.

Great value rooms in the handy location of Seoul. And the rooms are equipped with all the necessary things, such a shower and TV. The checkout time is at 11 o’clock, but you can leave your luggage bags downstairs and pick them up later that day.

I stayed for a couple of nights at this Hotel. The staff were amazing, eager to assist me with any questions I had about the area and they truly made me feel welcome!

The room I had was very cosy and well equipped, it was perfect for everything I needed.

I would definitely recommend this Hotel without hesitation to all backpackers and adventure seekers!

If I get the opportunity to stay in a Hotel in Seoul again, it will be this one!

Kind regards and thanks for everything!

For the staff experience, 5 stars! The lovely ladies at the reception went above and beyond to help us on our first trip to Korea, they even stayed up one night two hours to make us a mini itinerary and walked to the bus stop with us to make sure we would get our bus, this went far and beyond what most service providers would give and absolutely not taken for granted as completely lost tourists without their translation and help! We felt very guilty for the extra mile they went for us!
The hotel itself is average, with a fairly small room size and very basic bathroom amenities (no standing shower, just a shower head to hold while washing yourself).
The breakfast was AMAZING each day, we had something different made for us every day and it really was a very valuable welcome to Korean food culture and the overall stay will stay in my mind for a long time!
