I keep coming here anytime I am in Seoul! Rooms are clean and spacious and position is great!
Emilie from Canada (8/10)
The staff was very kind, we had a room on the 6th floor which was nice. Good location close to Dongdaemun station. You walk down the street and you arrive at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza. The area is calmer than staying in Myeondong

Sullivank from Portugal (9/10)
Great hotel, super clean and comfortable. Although the location is 10/15 min walk from the metro it has plenty of busses passing through the door
Giordano from Portugal (8/10)
everything except the guy in the reception, he's attitude was rude for absolutely not reason, must have been some mental struggle, which is understandable sometimes, but I had 3 terrible days, and I really didn't want to receive that attitude.
Heather from Canada (8/10)
Location was very central, easy to get around. Room was modern, perfect for a short stay. Luggage storage was convenient and helpful.
