Great, clean and quiet spot, amazing room

Great little apartment style hotel, perfect for solo or couples, good location, no check in hassle, can be a little confusing finding the place but just look for the Urbanstay building and its right inside.

Only downside is the light from the exit sign in the room is bright and there’s no blackout curtains so everyday I’d wake up at 5:30 with the sunrise.

Great no contact property for a short term stay. It's great because you can easily open the window when the room gets too hot. just enough space to feel not cramped. It is also good because it includes a washing machine (no dryer) with drying rack.

This place was super clean and having an in-room washing machine was very convenient. Walkable to Seomyeon street and the Metro. Checkin was a little confusing beforehand, since there is no desk. You are emailed the code to your room at check in time, thats it.

The room was compact, modern, well maintained and very functional, close to Seomyeon Metro station (exit 12). There is also a washer, and small kitchen equipped with a microwave, large fridge, stove, pots and dishes, which we didn't use since there were many restaurants in the surrounding area.

We really liked this place. The room was comfortable, clean, and perfect for our stay. Check-in was handled via email only (which might be a bit challenging for elderly people), and communication was also exclusively through email. For us, this way of communicating was perfectly fine. Response time was very fast and helpful.

Surprised and delighted

I loved it! Exactly what I was hoping for in cleanliness location and safety Very convenient with a convenient store and a 7-ELEVEN foot steps away. Tons of restaurants all around.The Market and underground mall right across the street! Was like a mini apartment in mid town! loved the amenities also. Fantastic stay overall I would return.

Super easy check in, many options to dining in the area, walkable too. Metro in the area were very easy to use. Heads up, the washing machine is only to wash clothes not to dry, but there is a nice hanging rack in the closet. Recommend to run “dehydrate” 1 more time (10 minutes) and it will take out more mositure.
