Reviews

  • Lopez from United States (8/10)

    Super close to Myeongdong market and shopping area

  • Kaylin from United States (7/10)

    Location was great – 1 stop on the subway (or else 10 minute walk) from Seoul station. Make sure you check Naver for which exit to take out of the subway station though; if you take the correct exit then it is just 2 minutes up the road. (Otherwise, can be a little harder). Overall very kind staff and the room was surprisingly big for Seoul. Great location, walkable to the Myeongdang market, etc. Able to store bags before check-in/after check out without any issues.

  • Niki from Australia (9/10)

    Breakfast provided every morning water and clean towels. Rooftop was beautiful

  • Laura from Romania (9/10)

    The hotel is located super close to the metro station making it easy to go around Seoul from the hotel. There is complimentary breakfast each morning. Overall the staff, namely Chris, was lovely and very helpful. It's nice that they have an automatic check in/check out as it simplifies things when you leave early.

  • Veronika from United Kingdom (8/10)

    It was nice and and tidy. The staff was very welcoming. It’s a nice and friendly hotel to stay in Seoul as it has a good location and access to both bus and subway stations. The Namdaemun market is just around the corner as well.

  • Seck from Singapore (8/10)

    The hotel is near subway station n myeongdong area. There is free coffee n bread in the lounge room. Bed n pillow comfortable. Very generous with toilet rolls. Receptionist helpful n friendly.

  • Camilleccon from Philippines (8/10)

    The hotel was perfect if you are travelling with friends. They were able to accommodate 3 pax albeit 3 single beds. The room is a bit tight for 3 people – you really can't walk around but the location makes up for it. It is close to the train station as well as walking distance to Namdaemun Market and Naman Tower.

    They have a lovely rooftop deck that's perfect for evenings with a view of the lit up N Tower!

  • Mayumi from Japan (8/10)

    Very convenient/ close to everything.

  • Vergie from United Kingdom (7/10)

    staff

  • Carl from United States (8/10)

    I chose for the location. It’s in a central location and close enough to walk to the train station to get to the airport. Large outdoor market very close which was great and the major evening shopping district. Metro stop at the corner so it was great. View at night from my room, posted.
