Super convenient to have a small kitchenette+washer/dryer. Cute and clean design, however, the cloth hanger was terribly flimsy. Great Nevertheless, varieties of eateries including local and gourmet foods plus hidden alley shops were charming!

Great stay for a solo week in Seoul! Located on a quiet street, with lots of dining options close by. Walkable to many iconic locations such as Insa-dong Culture Street, Changgyeonggung Palace, and Hanok Villages. Easy self check-in process with a code to enter, which was very convenient.

Stayed here for 4 nights, 5 days. Really enjoyed it. Loved that it has a washer/dryer which we needed since this was the last leg of our South Korea trip. Loved that there is a bidet and luggage storage. Note that the room doesn’t get cleaned by staff during your stay but it’s fine with me.

The hotel was excellent. The room was exactly what I needed for a multi-night stay. The area around hotel is amazing, and ideal for stepping out anywhere in Seoul. The walls are a bit thin, but overall, I loved this place and will stay again.
