Reviews

• Nuno from Portugal (9/10)

  – Spacious room with a sofa, all the standard facilities eg, TV, Wi-Fi, fridge, kettle, tea, etc.
  – Hotel location is quite near to the subway and there's a lot of bus stops around.
  – Hotel area is lively, lot of restaurants, street food, convenience stores, etc.
  – Far from the hustle and bustle from Hongdae and Myeong-dong. We prefer to go to those places only when needed and not be in the middle of it.
  – Hotel offers luggage storage that's was great on last day since we had a red-eye flight.

• Siti from Malaysia (9/10)

  The receptionist was really nice, we got a free room upgrade & the new room had a kitchen. It was equipped with a kitchen sink, a stove, microwave & utensils. It was really spacious too. The bed was huge & comfortable, theres even an extra set of pillows in the cupboard. The room was clean. Most importantly for me the toilet had a bidet. The view was also really great, saw the Lotte tower far off in the distance. On checkout day, we chose to do a late checkout by an hour & paid 10k won which is honestly very reasonable.
  The bus stop was literally right outside the hotel lobby. The hotel is also just a few steps away from the subway exit & the subway itself wasnt one of those huge ones so it was really really convenient. The street behind the hotel has a small fried chicken shop that was open really late at night & it was delicious. Another few steps away there is this area for street food, shopping, photobooths, restaurants, pubs & even claw machine games. It’s really lively at night & the prices are definitely better than hongdae. On another street further up, I even saw a Daiso. So in short, the location was perfect.

  Hotel was very close to subway station Line 4 (easy to go to other locations) and also a 5 min walk to airport bus stop (#6011). Room was spacious and clean and I enjoyed my stay a lot! Will book again next time! Gs25 is near, some food and cafe options nearby and a small Olive Young across 👍

• Sarah from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Hotel is located in a student area with loads of restaurants within a stone’s throw from the hotel. The rooms was spacious and clean, with air con and a large bathroom. Despite being located in a busy area, the hotel was quiet during the nighttime, which we very much appreciated. The hotel staff were more than happy to help with whatever requests we had, no matter how small.
