1.0 Our stay was hindered by how dirty our room was. I will not be returning to this hotel. - Matt 02-04-2023

Positive points: The location of this property is good. It is close the public transportation and walking distance to the DDP.

Negative points: The room we stayed in was extremely dirty. It appeared to have not been properly cleaned in quite some time. Excessive mildew and soap scum on the tiles and dust throughout the room. There was hair in our bed from from past guests. It was impossible to feel comfortable.

Positive points: location, worth of price

Negative points: i’m staying in this hotel for 2-3 and 3-5 nights, but doesn’t give water every day, so have to get your own water for the morning , asked to clean up the room, but didn’t leave hotel tooth brush

3.0 Good location but not clean and damp - YOU 30-10-2022

Positive points: the location is good

Negative points: the bathroom is kinda disgusting… the water will leak on the floor while showering, and the wall and floor are dirty…(it should be white but it’s yellow…)nnalso. the front desk service is unstable, some are friendly and helpful, some are cold & bad at English

7.6 Value for money - Ching 16-05-2025

Review: Room was nice but there was a foul smell on the corridor when I got to my room on the first day. Staff was relatively helpful but not always there. nnOverall a pleasant stay and the hotel is good value for money

6.0 Above average - Annamaria 22-10-2022

Positive points: I liked that the hotel is very close to the metro station and to many restaurants and shops. The staff doesn’t speak English very well but anyway they did their best to help us and we appreciate the effort.

Negative points: The rooms are extremely small. We struggle to open our luggages. rnThe bathroom in certain room is “open” bath. That means that there is not bathroom in the room. Just a bath. So there is no privacy when you shower. Also the WC is separated by the room only by a glass wall. rnrnIn the morning and late evening the hotel is very noisy. You can literally hear everything happened in the next rooms or in the hallway.

10.0 Exceptional - Raea 13-05-2025

Review: Place is near the airport bus stop, metro station (dongdaemun exit 5), and with situated convenience stores nearby. It is also quiet so you can have a restful vacation while staying in it. I loved the bed and the bath tub. There are no usual toiletries though (toothbrush, razor, toothpaste) which is totally okay. So just bring your brushes. I would definitely recommend this place 👍🏼

7.6 Very good - Yaqi 02-05-2025

Review: 还行吧 位置挺好的 服务员态度不太好 房间一般 冷热水有点难调
