9.6 Very centered cute hotel - Tatiana 23-06-2025

Review: The room is nice and very clean. Though the room is small, the hotel is a king of organizing the space, so I felt comfortable in any sence :)

10.0 Recommended! Have bidet! Near to places! Taking the bus is convenient! - Ady 14-06-2025

Positive points: It is near to many places we want to go. On the first day we were a bit confused on where is the bus station or the train station, but after a day, we found that the place is very much convenient with bus station. Train station would be a bit confusing with so many exits they have. Just a few steps walk away from the hotel there is already a town bus that go to tourist places. The blue line bus is near too, cry much convenient to go anywhere in our itinerary. This hotel is also near to one of the hanok place. Just a few walk and we already in hanok village. Unfortunately there is no self service laundry but there is a good laundry shop nearby (just ask the staff and they guide you). Most of the staff i encounter can speak english, so it is convenient. The room is so clean, IT HAVE BIDET! The room is a bit small but it is enough for just 2 of us. The people nearby are also friendly. Downstairs the hotel there is CU mart. Near the hotel also have many cultural shop. Also, while waiting for the check in, we can also request for the hotel to keep our begs. Checking out while waiting for our flight back, they can keep our begs there as well. Very near to the airport bus stop. Lastly, i would like to thank the staff for the warm welcome. Thank you. (We were too occupied with shopping and going here and there that we forgot to take picture of the room >_<)

Negative points: Honestly i am fully satisfied

10.0 Perfect size and location for solo traveller - Sarah 22-06-2025

Review: While the toilet may be a bit small than the average hotel toilet (most of the toilet will be wet after a shower and there is little shelving to put your things in the toilet) - the room was extremely clean and the bed was very comfortable. Despite being situated in a room just opposite to the common utilities room and lifts, the soundproofing was great and I had no disturbance. Plus points for a nice CU convenience store on level 1 - it has everything you could need. Just a tip that this hotel's power plugs are sunken into the wall so you will need a round shaped adapter/korean socket shape. Given the convenient location to 3 different metro lines, and the friendliness of the staff, I would definitely pick this spot again when solo travelling in seoul!

1.0 Acceptable - Anonymous 07-06-2025

Positive points: Ok location

Negative points: Absolutely not suitable for longer stays, expecially if you’re travelling as a couple. The rooms are too small to even open your luggage. One the pictures the rooms looks nice, but they are absolutely not practical. There are no hooks in the bathrooms, no space around the sink to put your toiletries. By the way, there wasn’t even hand soap and we were told that people usually have to pay but since we complained, we will get it for free! The first night there was shampoo, conditioner and body wash, all three with Morocco scent. The next day the body wash was topped up with something pink smelling cheap and fruity. The shower head was leaking so much that it was pouring more water from the seal. On top of everything there was a construction going on during our stay which was not mentioned anywhere.

3.6 Wrong informations given on Agoda website - Rinalie 21-06-2025

Review: I travelled with my son so I looked for two beds or atleast one bigger bed. The website says they have queen bed. When we arrived not only the room was so tiny the bed was a full size bed not a queen bed. Agoda tried contacting the hotel but the hotel said they can’t do anything about it.

5.0 Acceptable - Cindy 24-05-2025

Positive points: The location. Perfect.

Negative points: The room seemed very small but mostly the fact that I couldn't flush toilet paper and the would wet EVERYTHING.

8.0 Stayed here multiple times - Chloe 12-06-2025

Review: This is my go-to hotel whenever I visit Seoul on my own. The location is great - there's good food and bakeries nearby and I've never run out of things to do. Room is spacious, clean and just nice for a solo traveler. Will definitely be back.

9.0 A pleasant stay. Staff was kind - Lynn 19-05-2025

Positive points: Location was amazing!

Negative points: The toilet was a bit small and no divider between toilet and shower so whenever I shower everything just got wet. Room was a bit small too so could feel stuffy at times. But we were out a lot so it was alright

Positive points: Location was perfect. Rooms are nice and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Negative points: Only issue for me was the way the bathroom was. I did not enjoy taking a shower knowing everywhere was getting wet. Other wise I will definitely stay at property again.

9.6 Exceptional - Saleh 06-06-2025

Review: Was really nice, clean and good value for money, recommended!!

6.0 Will not return, do your homework - Angela 19-04-2025

Positive points: Chose this hotel for 4 nites to explore the Insadong area instead of staying in the Myeongdong area. For SOLO traveler Nice hotel, walking distance to little cafe, shops, buses and trains. The Palace, Cheonggyecheon Stream, Myeongdong shopping 15 minutes away walk. For the price worth it. Staff was very helpful and was surprised at some of the other reviews.rnMy room was spacious for me considering other hotels HOWEVER who ever designed the bathroom it was a MISS. Really SMALL. The shower/sink is literally on each side and when you showered, water everywhere. I had to keep my makeup stuff in the bedroom shelf area 😞. A/C was good. Google translate is your friend 😉rnThey offered free water bottle each day. There is a C25 connected to lobby. Recommend vs other hotels in area for the $$$. Happy exploring ⛩️🥢🇰🇷🍜🥰🌸

10.0 Amazing location - Nick 28-05-2025

Review: Stayed here with my Girlfirend and we LOVED the location. We stayed for 3 nights and found everything we really wanted to do in Seoul to be within walking distance. We loved that there was so many great resturants/bars within half a kilometer and that there was a convince store right next to the hotel

9.0 Excellent - Ivan 19-04-2025

Positive points: Nice hotel if you avoid weekends and holidaysnStaff is friendly and helpful

7.2 Unequipped room - Laurent 25-05-2025

Review: No switch reachable from the bednNo mirror in the roomnOnly one towel per guestnNo light fixed on the bed headboardn..and that annoying check-in (3pm) check-out (11am) policy.n

8.0 A place to stay that's conveniently located to several places to eat. - Heintje 17-04-2025

Positive points: With a little bit of walking, you can go to a lot of eating places. The room was comfortable, exception for the lack of AC. Laundry was available on two different floors.

Negative points: The room was very warm, even with the window opened, and cooler weather. Since it was cooler, the AC wasn't available. I don't know if it was just the hotel or a mandated thing from the city. The AC basically wasn't available to turn on since it wasn't hot outside.rnrnBasic amenities wasn't available at the front desk or room. For the price, I think they should have it upon request.

8.4 Great location! - Lauren 25-05-2025

Review: Second time staying here. Great location and loved the design of the rooms. Cleanliness could be improved but enjoyed my stay nonetheless.

9.0 Excellent - Svetlana 09-04-2025
