Hotel is located in a great area with tons of restaurant and cafe options. Hotel is also within close proximity of public transportation (subway, bus), which made it easy to visit various places in Seoul. We liked the decor of the hotel. It was clean and I felt extremely safe.

Stressful Stay
Hotel is easy to locate and accessible. But the hotel itself is outdated, hallway from
elevator to room is dark. Room is dusty, the mouldy smell will welcome you upon entering the room. There is water leak in the cr the time we check in the room, although the staff address it quickly, still uncomfortable for us, coming from the long trip and expecting to have a relaxing room upon arrival, instead it give us more stress. Also no available food to order in the hotel or in the nearby areas in late night time, since we arrive like 8pm from airport, waiting hours for the leak cr to be fix, and sleep hungry because no food to order. But all the staff are commendable, they are helpful and quick in action.

Great location and great hotel, but sort of dated. We had the king suite, but tub didnt function properly and one of the toilets also didnt function properly. However clean room, very spacious and kind employees.
For the price, they should update the rooms

The staff were very helpful and spoke enough English to help when needed. It’s close to all the best of Itaewon but not right in the middle of it where it would be noisy

The hotel is a 3 star hotel but it definitely needed to be a minimum of 4 star to be fair. Room is spacious and it was everything that anyone can need and in very good shape.

This was my first time staying this hotel, I was hoping to stay higher level room. Stayed for 4 nights and could not open the curtain since I was on the lower floor. Still it was a good place to stay. I had the cleaning service daily and the front desk staff were nice to assist me while my stay. Thank you,

This is the HOTEL I use when I go to Korea. This time the room was renovated and was beautiful. The walls and floors were dark, so it felt sad. It's a shame that the artwork on the previous wall has disappeared. I've used it many times so it's the same usable and relatively quiet and comfortable to use. This was the first time I saw a cockroach and let it go, so I was scared to go to sleep. All rooms are disinfected and exterminated. Maybe they came through the bathroom pipes and air conditioners?
For about four years, I have been traveling at a rate of four months and have been making regular .accommodations.
