9.0 Perfect. Almost. - Jed 14-06-2025

Positive points: If you’re in Seoul and can live with just ramen, tea, coffee and water then this place can save you a whole lot during your trip. nnThe staff is amazing. The bed is perfect. The toilet can be challenging if you’re huge like me, but thats not the hotels fault. nnThey have free noodles. Free tea. Free coffee. Free water. Unlimited. Yes. Unlimited. And its very near some famous tourist spots.

Negative points: Not the hotels fault to be fair but some taxis find it difficult to locate the hotel through the address given. But Seoul happens to be huge so that is understandable.

10.0 Great Home base- a bit tricky to find but worth it - Bonnie 17-04-2025

Positive points: This Eight Rest in Jong-ro is a satellite of another Eight Rest in Seoul. This one was 3 floors in a nondescript building - but it was delightful. Very clean, easy to navigate, staff helpful. Right across from traditional market and 1block from Jong-ro metro stop. Our city tours had trouble finding us so we just walked 1.5 blks to the Atrium Hotel each morning. This was perfect for our two day stay.

8.0 Overall we had a good stay here :-) - Li 10-04-2025

Positive points: Strategic location, bus station & subway station were within walking distance. There were convenient stores and local eateries nearby too. Oh ya thanks for the free flow ramen provided! We enjoyed it very muchnnSoundproof was bad so if you are a light sleeper i suggest you to wear earplugs when sleep. Although the space is small but it has everything you need.

10.0 Best affordable place in seoul - Suhaila 05-04-2025

Positive points: hotel deserve 10/10 to the service they provided during our stay. Since the time we arrived they were very helpful ,they gave us a place to pray before check-in time . Staff are really helpful and welcoming and they try to help if you need anything. At check-out time we asked them if we can store our small luggages until we come back from Busan trip and they say it is okay 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank You So Much really nnBeds are super comfortable , room is clean and have good noise cancellation from road and outside noises ( only high voices between rooms can be heard), kitchen area was really helpful to prepare our late night snacks and breakfast nnThank you all for the wonderful stay

10.0 Looking forward to going back again - Celia 20-02-2025

10.0 Exceptional - Nguyen 14-02-2025

Positive points: Mọi thứ đều rất tốt ở mức giá này. Những vật dụng cá nhân trong phòng đều đầy đủ và tiện lợi. Tiếc là tôi không tìm thấy phích cắm đổi đầu cắm thiết bị điện, vì ổ điện ở Hàn Quốc có lỗ ghim hình tròn còn thiết bị của tôi lại có đồ ghim hình chữ nhật. Điều khiến tôi thấy tiện lợi nhất là tòa nhà có thang máy, có máy giặt, chỗ nấu mì và pha cà phê. Hướng dẫn tìm khách sạn và hướng dẫn tự check in cũng khá chi tiết. Lễ tân cũng khá thân thiện và nói tiếng Anh tốt. Tôi sẽ quay lại chỗ nghỉ này nếu có dịp đến Seoul lần nữa.

Negative points: Sưởi sàn hơi yếu. Dù đã đắp chăn dày nhưng bữa tối vẫn lạnh, chắc do đợt rét năm nay ở Hàn lạnh và khắc nghiệt hơn mọi năm. Tường ở cửa không cách âm nên hơi ồn nếu có người nói chuyện ở sảnh.
