Reviews

  • Thành from Vietnam (8/10)

    the staff so kind ,they are carefully and Good value for money.👍

  • Damian from United Kingdom (7/10)

    This is a reasonable place to stay for budget travellers – otherwise Seoul can be expensive. The staff are friendly. The rooms are clean and come with a fridge but quite small and basic – that's fine if you don't want to spend much and we were out all the time anyway. Each floor has a water dispenser so no need to buy plastic bottles. Please note the hotel occupies two floors of an apartment building but can be accessed using the lift. You are right by some lively street markets and plenty of restaurants too. The metro is a 10-15-minute walk.

  • Sarah from Australia (8/10)

    Park was an amazing receptionist he helped us with our bags and is very enthusiastic in helping tourists with travel plans and restaurant recommendations. Place is pretty well located with a nice communal area to eat late night ramen and I especially loved they had a machine where you could refill your water.

  • Felix from Germany (9/10)

    Perfect location to explore Seoul. Small room, but quiet and comfy. Fast WiFi, fridge in the room, shared kitchen, free coffee. Very friendly staff, recommended.

  • Jasmin from Czech Republic (9/10)

    The receptionist was super nice. We spoke as if we were good friends. He also helped me with my luggages when I left. Super friendly and nice.

  • Ceryl from Philippines (9/10)

    Location was nice as subway stations are just 5-10mins walk, a lot of near convenience stores too almost every street corner there's one, as well as restos and street food vendors. (From the airport to the accommodation) Airport bus stop is just across the street, so it was very easy to locate.

    As a solo traveller, tho the room was pretty small it was enough for me. Room was clean, bed was big, and with it's own bathroom – tho it was quite small too but honestly for the prices? I'd say it was reasonable and decent.

    Staff/receptionist was very accommodating, their english wasn't very good but they try to communicate well and even recommended some places I should go to and visit or not to visit as it was my first time in Seoul too.

    Checked out early and they let me leave my luggage too so i could still roam around the city. My flight was at wee hour the next day, so I planned to picked-up my luggage around 8pm and be at the airport at 10pm but did not double-check the airport bus operation hours. Got back at 8:30pm and the receptionist said that there's no more bus but they gladly helped me with direction or told me what train line should i take and even accompanied me while carrying my luggages to the station.
