7.6 Convenient yet less crowded location - Crisella 01-05-2025

Review: We opted to stay here instead of Myeongdong to keep away from the crowds. Super convenient since there is a bus stop and train station nearby. Room-wise, not too bad but hoped there were more amenities included with the room (e.g. toothbrush, cotton buds or shower cap). Convenient tho that there was shampoo and bath gel provided for the restrooms as well as drinking water.

10.0 Great stay will book with them in the future - Andrea 01-05-2025

7.0 I would definitely stay here again it was a great location for a great price. - Taylor 23-03-2025

Positive points: I loved the location because it was a 1 minute walk to the closest train line which was line 4. Right across the street from the hotel are 3 bus stops which also includes an airport limousine bus. It costs 17,000 korean won (about $12 usd). The bus that i took accepted cash, transportation cards or credit cards as payment. If you are going to use a credit card they will cahrge it when you arrive at the airport.There is also an abundance of restaurants and cafes all around the accommodation. The room is comfortable so if you go during winter time there is underfloor heating so your feet won't be cold. They offer water bottles in the refrigerator in the room. The staff is friendly and some speak or understand english. In the lobby they have a coffee machine and a microwave if you need to reheat or to cook convenience food.

Negative points: The room temperature is a little hot even with the a/c running. There is a paper that they provide you upon check in and it says if the room is hot ask the front desk. I did inquire at the front desk about a fan and they said they didn't have any. Also if you are a light sleeper and if you leave the window open you will hear the street noise.

Positive points: The staff were extra kind

9.6 Amazing stay well worth the money - Sook 31-12-2024

Review: The location is impeccable. Being away from the centre of action in Seoul yet near to a university means cheap food and late night entertainment. The room is always clean and there’s always staff at the counter even when we return close to midnight.

10.0 Exceptional - Thi 18-05-2023

Positive points: It was great…Spacious room, clean and tidy up. The facility looks new. The location is convenient to go around with bus station and nearby good & reasonable restaurants. The Staff were very friendly. I got experience that their cleaning team misunderstood my gift as trash and throw away. But they were very friendly and responsible to find out again for me, and they even paid the compensation. Actually I didn’t want it happened to get the compensation because my gift becomes dirty and ugly:( but anyway, I appreciated your help and professionalism. I will come back to choose and stay your hotel again :)
