The location is good. Train station is readily accessible and the access to the worlds coolest street is very good. The room is small and the mattress is quite hard - sort of like sleeping on a box spring. Room has a desktop which occupies space and is not necessarily handy

Disliked: Cleanliness
I was originally assigned a room that smelt like someone had been smoking cigarettes in there for days, the bedsheets also smelt smokey and the room wasn’t very clean, with hair everywhere and dusty appliances. I later discovered that the cigarette smell was likely coming through the vents. I asked at to reception if I could switch rooms, but they advised they were sold out for the night but could make the change to a new room the next day. The new room was a lot better, through in both rooms the mattress was very hard. Hotel is in a good location, in between lots of attractions and places to eat.

Just upon stepping inside, we were greeted right away with a kind staff. Check in was so fast. Our room is equipped with everything you can think of that you need even to the smallest detail. It also conveniently located to restaurant, transportation, & tourist attractions. Will definitely be checking again to this location.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location near the metro, making it easy to get around, and reasonably priced for a six-night stay. The air conditioning worked well, and we appreciated the quiet alley and firm mattress. However, the overall experience was disappointing. Housekeeping was inconsistent, the room was not properly cleaned before our arrival, and the advertised 24-hour front desk was rarely available when we needed assistance. Noise from other guests who seemed to be there primarily to party was also an issue. I would not stay here with children. While the hotel was adequate for the price and convenient for transportation, the lack of guest service, cleanliness issues, and noise would prevent us from staying here again.

Excellent hotel in the heart of Jongno. Even though it is a “love hotel” I didn’t get that vibe at all. The rooms were clean, spacious safe. Everything is pretty much right outside the hotel including tran stations. I loved our stay and it was very good value. I stayed here with 2 kids.

Nice and charmful room with its wooden ground. It has everything what you need for exploring Seoul. The location is fantastic! A few meters from the metro station „Jangno 3“, at the beginning of a Hanok market woth fancy and stylish restaurants and cafés and the palaces are easy reachable on foot. Helpful and friendly stuff and the room was super clean. Daily room-service, doesn‘t matter when you leave your room!

Good hotel

Very good location, just parallel of the street with street restaurants and cafes open at night but very quiet as it's not on this street. Room service every day, night gowns provided, mini bar free with lots of snacks, water and soft drinks. These are provided daily as well. Room is bigger than other hotels I searched in similar price range.
