Reviews

• Diane from Luxembourg (9/10)

  I was very positively surprised by the hotel. The room was large, bright, clean. Everything you could wish for as a single traveler. The bathroom was also great, a bathtub and a heated toilet. Honestly, the reviews of other travelers were not so great, so I was a bit unsure whether I should book this hotel. But I was very happy with my decision. You can indicate at the front desk if you want the room to be cleaned. That also worked out great. Unfortunately, they don't speak very good English but with Google Translate the communication worked out. The location is also good. About 20min walk from Myeongdong and not far from Dongdaemun Design Plaza and good metro train connections.
  Unfortunately, there was not really a breakfast but I can highly recommend the French bakery "Tous les jours" just around the corner. I've traveled a lot myself and put a lot of emphasis on cleanliness. Overall, it was a great stay and I have nothing to criticize.

• Cj from Australia (6/10)

  The Bedroom was huge. Very art deco with nice view from the bedroom. Location was not ideal as there is nothing to eat around the hotel (especially when you arrived late at night). There is a few convenience store but not really proper meal. We had a long walk around to try and find food but unfortunately was not lucky as everywhere was closed except for the convenience store.

  I liked that the hotel is very close to the metro station and to many restaurants and shops. The staff doesn’t speak English very well but anyway they did their best to help us and we appreciate the effort.
