Review: Pros: Location is the best, right in Myeongdong where there are a lot of restaurants, shops and convenience stores. Price is also affordable, considering that the place is in central Seoul.nnCons: It would be nice if the hotel would disclose that they need a deposit via credit card. The staff took note of my card with all the details. He was even annoyed when I told him I already paid beforehand. I'm okay with that, but even the CVV was notee on the computer. I think this is a big security issue, specially now that cards can be used for any purchase.nnThe toilets are also part of the building and not exclusive to hotel residents. So, you will be sharing the toilets with the other tenants from other businesses in the building.nnI booked this hotel on a rush because my flight was moved and changes on my arrival were made last minute.nnOverall, 7/10! nIt is already good for the price, I will still recommend it if you are on a budget.
Positive points: Location
Negative points: Nobody is at the front desk until 3PM.nAlarms would sound like crazy at 10AM for no reason and no explanation. nReally loud voice messages directly to your room only in korean.nA lot of restrictions, for example they won’t allow you to eat in your own room.nMaids trying to open the door with no notice.nNot full door in the shower, you’ll make a mess of water all over the bathroom every time you take a shower.nNo bidet.
Review: The rooms are small and feels crampednIf you have big luggage I really don't recommend thisnBathroom is small and oldnBed doesnt feel like its been cleanednAirconditioning is not working really well
Review: Overall, our stay was okay. We chose this place despite some negative reviews mainly because of its location. And location-wise, it’s great right in the heart of Myeongdong, very close to the train and bus stations, and just a 2-minute walk to Olive Young and a lot more.nnHowever, the staff were quite rude and unhelpful. Whenever we asked for directions or assistance with bookings, they would brush us off. It seems like their only concern is handling check-ins and check-outs. Unfortunately, the lack of hospitality really affected our experience. We won’t be staying here again and will definitely try other hotels next time.
Positive points: Great place to stay-in! Lots of food/restaurant around to eat at. However, you cannot eat inside the room and you must eat in the kitchen.
Review: you get what you paid for but i didn’t expect that the toilet would be the floor’s public toilet 😭😭😭
Positive points: very good and accessible in transportation.
Negative points: very convenient
Review: it was kinda sad to hold the shower head near the sink while sitting on the toilet
Positive points: It's clean, shower room had all amenities I need. The location is so good with lift too, best for travelers with big baggage
Negative points: Hotels need to provide their own toilets since they are outside the dormitory area. The toilets are joint use with other tenants building
Review: Some noise but your right in middle of entertainment precinct, our room was smaller but quieter, bathroom good size, not expensive so good for price we paid, your in middle of Seoul so will be busy sightseeing anyway
Positive points: Great location, room size is decent.
Negative points: The hotel shares the building with tens of restaurants (and not just the ground floor) so the building has strong odors.nThe room had a bit stuffy smell as there are no Windows
Review: Towels were changed daily and rubbish was clean everyday at 12pm. 300m from the Myeongdong Night Market, hence less noise pollution. My 3rd time staying here.
Positive points: Great location in middle of Myeongdong
Review: It was our second time staying and I would stay here again the next itme we visit Seoul. Location is great. Very easy to check in and check out.
Positive points: Good location, very close to metro and comfortable to eat, shopping.
Negative points: Don‘t have staff whole day, only have sometimes. So, if you need anything or any help during staff left, you must to wait the back on their shift
Review: Good location, good facilities and I will come back again. :)
Positive points: location
Negative points: only gives you one key cardndoes not clean room dailynlobby opens late (3pm)
Review: The location was very good, near restaurants and shopping stores! There’s a BHC right next to the hotel too!!! The hotel was maintained and kept clean and staff was responsive when messaged.
Positive points: Location of the hotel was perfect. It's literally in myeongdong shopping district. Have 3 floor building in-front with 3 different restaurant. 2 minutes walk to 7/11 and a pharmacy. 1 minute walk to Starbucks and another coffee shop.
Negative points: Room was small and not clean since I saw 2 small cockroach so we had to chase it since we didnt want to sleep with a coackroach roaming the room. Air condition was not cold. Shower didnt have a divider or it wasnt isolated so every time you take a shower your whole bathroom is wet, it was messy. They will change your towel every morning and get the trash but they touched my Rimowa cabin luggage so they kinda added some scratches which I'm not sure how they did it.
