Great place to stay and enjoy real korean life. Easy access to downtown. If you want a western vibe, dont stay here, otherwise this place is great. Close to everything but away from noise. The staff is super friendly and the hotel.is surrounded by pure korean lige and food.

Super quiet in the day time but comes to life at night. Walking distance from lots of attractions.

It was dirty both in the room and in the restaurant. Definitely not recommended unless you want a very budget hotel.

Modern, quiet hotel despite being in a vibrant area. Separate bath, separate (automatic) toilet. Convenient location
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025

10/10

It’s a convenient place. I loved the location and the walkability to the many bars, restaurants, and shops. My room was surprisingly beautiful but I did have the best suite. I don’t know how the lesser rooms look like. But my room had a kitchen and massive bathroom with a tub and an isolated shower… However, it’s not for everyone. The location might bother some guests because it’s hidden in a dark corner street and the lobby looks like a front desk at an auto garage shop. Breakfast is included but it’s simple with sausage and eggs as an option. … But I personally loved it.

Short stay in Seoul. Centrally located with a confortable room, although not much natural light in the room i was in. Most important the front desk staff was amazing, offering to help me out of a bit of a jam.

Smart modern room with some stylish features. Lacking a safe and some extra plug sockets. Good to have included breakfast with nice options. Staff very friendly and hotel is in great location for getting around the city.

Stay was okay, hotel needs some updates and a proper cleaning. Loved the neighborhood though, so still recommend it for a short trip to Seoul

This is old , dark , dirty hotel. The room has huge bath tub but such waste of space. They should use this space for sink, closet and cabinet . The whole hotel is dark and gloomy , the breakfast was so basic and is served in the basement where it smells of sewage . I could not wait to get out of there

I really liked our hotel.. specially the area cause there r plenty of restaurants near by and shopping center.

10/10

We only stayed to sleep here. Good value. The place is small but is good enough for a couple. Place is modern. Bed is comfy. Sure close to places to eat and drink but this is inan area where people drink and go for night out in Seoul so I would not recommend for families or ladies travelling by themselves at night. If youre a couple, it's somewhat fine.

Great location in central Seoul. So many sites within walking distance. A lot of cafés, restaurants, coffee houses in the area. Room was nice sized but needed a deep cleaning. Furnishings needed a good dusting. Very little wardrobe space with just 2 hangers, no drawers, no luggage rack. Breakfast was simple but ok. Front desk staff was most kind, helpful.

Great stay in a quiet and narrow street but close to many restaurants and metro/tube station. The Main Street is busy at night each day but cannot be heard from the rooms. Breakfast is free and fine for western travellers (coffee, toast, fruit).
