An absolutely amazing hotel. The location of it is perfect with good connections to public transport and plenty of restaurants and cafes. The help and service from the staff is on another level, without any doubt the nicest staff I ever experienced. The price is great and the amenities are perfect. Cannot recommend this hotel enough!

I had a great experience here. The entire property was very clean and well-maintained. On top of that, the staff was amazing—they went above and beyond to help me out after I forgot my earphones at the hotel. Fully satisfied and highly recommended!

The location of this place is what makes it worth it. Amenities were okay, you have to ask for big towels otherwise they won’t give them to you, rooms are small. The staff was friendly . Overall it was a nice stay

We chose this hotel for its price (budget friendly) and location (a quick 3-5 minute walk to restaurant row and shops). The rooms are tiny by American standards, but they were clean and well kept. Staff was helpful, but the desk clerk was only on duty 9 AM till 11 PM. Wi-Fi and air conditioning were fine. All in all, this place served us well and fit our budget for the few days we were there.

we will come again. Location is very good. we did private transfer from incheon airport. about 1 hr drive. We booked 2 rooms for 3 nights. Room is ok size but we had 29 inch luggage so it was a struggle. we basically slept and showered only so it was ok for us. The bathroom is tiny, the shower head is on top of the sink. there’s a funky smelly smell coming from the drains. we bought air freshener for the bathroom. There’s a hot water dispenser and microwave in the kitchen . We like the place for the location. we love iksedong. we walk there to eat every night. small lively restaurants and shops. Convenience store everywhere. We walked to Insadong shopping. We walked to Gyeongbokgung palace and hanok village maybe 25 mins. We walked to myeondong market maybe 30 mins. Walked to Gwanjang market. We took train to Gangnam and Starfield library. and Hannriver. Our family is used to walking in the city so 25-30 min walk didnt bother us. We wore sneakers the whole time. there’s a train station nearby, maybe 5 min walk. I see people leave their luggages in the lobby either for early checkin or they will elave for the aipprt later in the day. You can hear the peolple in the other room. but we were tired so we slept.

建物は古く、最初にシャワーが壊れた部屋に通されました。（シャワーと洗面の水が両方出てしまう）ただ、スタッフさんに伝えたところ、大変丁寧な対応で翌日にはきちんと直っていました。 立地は繁華街に近くて治安も良い方なので「寝るだけなら」の方は全然問題ないと思います。 夜に日本語絶賛勉強中の男性スタッフさんがおり、対応は良いです。 こちらは一人なのにタオルを何枚もいただいたり、水を追加でくれたり、と大変親切でした。

スタッフはフレンドリーでとても感じが良いです。ただ、部屋はあまり清潔ではなかったし、シーツには茶色いシミが付いていました。また、シャワーの水圧は低く、お湯もでませんでした。ロケーションとスタッフは抜群に良かったです。
