Reviews

  • Jeanie from Japan (9/10)

    Everything was amazing! The hotel is old school style and run by a small staff. Because of this, they were very attentive, kind, and supportive. The facilities and rooms are refurbished despite the older building, and the room AC kept us so cool and comfortable in the horrible Korean heat. The location was a little hard to find only because Google maps doesn’t allow waking navigation for some reason, but that isn’t the hotel’s fault. There’s a small lounge area next to the lobby where you can rest and enjoy their complimentary coffee and water. Honestly I would 100% recommend this place for anyone who is looking for an affordable but comfortable stay.

  • Lisa from United Kingdom (8/10)

    The location

  • Alfred from Hong Kong (9/10)

    1. I overlooked the small size of the room. I could have booked a slightly larger room. The tiny lounge on the G/F is important (with microwave, instant coffee sachet, tea bag, water dispenser providing hot water).
    2. Fresh flowers dot the property, including the lounge & room.
    3. There's a weighing scale in front of the reception for checking luggage weight.

  • Lai from Malaysia (8/10)

    It is located just opposite to Namdaemun market. The basement room has no window but comfortable enough for solo travellers.

  • Gonzalo from Argentina (9/10)

    The staff was super helpful, they even give me a map to the Seoul Tower. 10/10. Would book again

  • Tom from Australia (8/10)

  • Azlina from Malaysia (9/10)

    I love the room facing the sea.
    For two people, the room is considered big. The toilet is clean and has all the toiletries.

  • Alexander from Canada (9/10)

    everything was exceptional!
    The room was clean and big, with a giant washroom. They let me check in a little early, and after 10 hours of travel, it was lovely.
    stay here and you'll love it
