10.0 独自首尔旅行的性价比首选 - JIE 04-06-2025

Review: 旅店位置相当不错,属于闹中取静,走路5分钟就有机场巴士停靠点,去广藏市场、钟路5街地铁站步行都不超过10分钟,属于是去哪里都挺方便的地方。虽然房间小,但一个人也够住,干净卫生休息的很好,以后绝对会再次预定。美中不足的地方就是床头冰箱时不时能听到电机运作的声音,如果是觉浅的朋友可以拔掉插头再睡。

5.0 Acceptable - Eddie 11-05-2025

9.0 Excellent - Keena 16-03-2025

Positive points: The room is cozy and clean. It's close to subway and bus stops, there's a lot of stores outside as well. All you need is there, it's kinda small because you won't have a space to lay flat your luggage specially if it's a big one but the bed and comfort room is big enough for 1 or 2. They don't have bidet, i guess it's not a thing in Korea but overall place is great.

Negative points: I just wish there's a bidet on rest room lol

6.8 Honest review - Mikky 20-02-2025

Review: One thing I don't like, the bathroom/toilet smells so bad, even when I keep the door close. I couldn't stand it whenever I take a shower. This room is on the top floor of the right corner. Others are good for a solo travel. I stayed there during Christmas season so the price jumped up like 5x to 6x

7.0 Cheap and safe(????) - Irine 13-03-2025

Positive points: It’s was pretty cheap stay with good location. There was everything needed for a comfortable stay. Close to the description and the pictures.

Negative points: The walls are thin so I could hear my neighbours laughing and talking till midnight. nThe room size is small but it’s not very much a problem if you sleep there only. nThe location is good but the district is a little scary. I got a notification that the room locks at 10 at night for safety reasons 😐 but it didn’t. The district was a little empty so i got a little more scared. But at the end everything was fine. And my baggage was for a long time at the desk till the check in time and it was fine

1.0 Acceptable - Nader 23-11-2024

Positive points: The room and bathroom were clean, and the owner responded to my messages quickly.

Negative points: The TV remote controller was not working, and there were no cups in the room. Our room was located near the entrance door and the valley, which made it occasionally noisy. Around 4 AM, there were songs and other noises coming from the lobby. Also from the roof I was hearing some noises.

9.0 Clean & Tidy - nambinh55 19-11-2024

Positive points: Close to metro & center/spot.The room & blanket are tidy,cleanliness.

Negative points: Its quite narrow space for 02 people in a room.However,with the advantage as mentioned,okay to stay.
