3.0 The staff were very polite and sweet. Good location and comfortable bed. - mthembu 04-03-2024

Positive points: The bed was comfortable compared to the other hotel beds in Korea. The location was great, very close to the subway station and shops.

Negative points: The hotel suite room was not like the picture. There was no view, my room was in front of a building. The bathroom door was broken. The hotel was not clear that we have to buy the breakfast coupon the night before, it only says purchase the coupon at 7:30am-8:00am, so we didn’t receive breakfast 😞

Review: Overall acceptable, walkable to subway station around 8 to 10 mins, furniture a bit old but is fine, we spend all the time outside until late night. There was slope path in front of the hotel. When we taking the shower, the water will come out from the bathroom.

4.8 เก่า และ แพงเทียบกับราคา - chanyachita 21-05-2025

Review: ห้องเก่า ไม่ค่อยสะอาดกรี๊บเท่าไหร่ รู้สึกเหมือนไม่ค่อยได้บำรุงสถานที่ มีคราบตามซอก แม่บ้านบางทีทำความสะอาดให้ไม่ดี อ่างอาบน้ำตัน มีน้ำขังเวลาอาบน้ำ ให้แชมพู ครีมนวดแค่ 1 ชุด สรุปรวมคือแพง ไม่ประทับใจ แต่ไม่รู้ว่าเป็นเพราะราคาห้องถูกที่สุดหรือเปล่า แต่ถ้าราคานี้ที่ประเทศไทย ได้ดีกว่ามากๆ

7.0 comfortable enough - Longtime 18-01-2023

4.0 Acceptable - Anyssa 16-01-2023

Positive points: I enjoyed it was close by Hongdae and the staff was very friendly.

Negative points: The bathroom smelled of mold and during the summer I know it’s a bigger thing but it made me feel sick, plus I killed a few roaches and I’m really cold so I was hoping for an extra blanket but they didn’t have any.
