At night room seemed quite bright. Had to cover phone , obscured light switch and air conditioning shone bright. Only niggle was other guests were a bit noisy on last night- not hotel fault but sound proofing would help. Otherwise a great little find. Super location

Location is ok. Walking distance to mayor hotspots. It’s very clean. You have your own laundromat to do laundry. The only negative thing are the beds which are horrible and made of stone.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. The location is excellent in that it's extremely close to the Airport bus stop and two metro starions (different lines), as well as untold restaurants, cafes and convenience stores.
Check-in was quick and easy, and my room was perfect for me as a solo traveller. It was spacious, and had everything I could need (including a washing machine). The bed is on the firm side, but I got used to it. I slept well as the room had good insulation and heating/cooling.
All up, excellent value for money and I felt 100% safe at all times, in both the neighbourhood and the hotel. I would highly recommend.

The rooms were neat, clean and nice. I love how the room came with a washer. It came in handy for quick washing. Staff were nice and location was great, it was near a subway station… only downside would be the washroom cause its a little tight but its okay I knew about it prior to booking, I cared more for the washer. Overall, it has a modern feel and would definitely book again :)

the staff were very friendly and very responsive when we called for no consistent hot water for shower. the room was very clean. because we needed a 3-bed room so the other spaces were limited. but overall, this is a good place to stay.

The front desk staff was friendly and very helpful. I stayed for 7 days, although the cleaning person came in to make sure the room was in order, i used the same bed sheet for that 7 days. Over all it's a good place to stay, i love the balcony view as well.

Rooms are very clean and quite spacious for Myeongdong and the washing machine comes in very handy (do note there are only two communal dryers on level B1 costing 5000w per use and it can be difficult to find a free one available in the evening).
It's close to Myeondong but you can't cross Namdaemun-ro so it involves using the underground walkway to cross the road to reach Myeongdong - something to note if you are carrying heavy luggage
Another thing to note is that there is no lobby and they can't hold luggage - there are only limited paid lockers in level B1 costing 10000w per 4 hours.
