Reviews

• Peter from United States (8/10)

  Fantastic location near Jongno-3 station. 3 stops from Seoul station and the airport express train! Next to Insa-dong, old Korean homes converted to nice restaurants and boutiques. Also near Gyeongbokgung palace. 5 minutes walk to station, one stop from Gwangjang market. Safe area. Host is communicative, but one needs to be persistant and call if urgent. I have stayed here 4 times, and will book again!

• Sergey from Russia (8/10)

  Beautiful location. Cozy and clean small appartment which all the basic things inside.
  Host is kind and responsive.

• Larina from South Korea (7/10)

  The location is ideal for me. I visit SNUH every day, and it's just a 20-minute walk away. Additionally, I have the option of taking a taxi within the same timeframe. That's why the location of the hotel was of utmost importance to me."

• Martin from Czech Republic (8/10)

  The location is perfect

• Angel from Peru (8/10)

  My stay in the room was a decent experience. The room provided a comfortable place to rest and had the basic amenities I needed. It was clean and well-maintained, which I appreciated.
  However I was a fairly standard accommodation. It served its purpose for my stay.
  In summary, the room was decent, offering comfort and cleanliness, but it fell slightly short of my initial expectations. It was suitable for my needs during my trip.

• Rebekah from Singapore (8/10)

  Amazing location!! Cozy and convenient. Nice area for luggage. Nice kitchen.

• Aliah from Malaysia (6/10)

  It is located in walking distance of many cafes and a palace. Also there's literally a CU store in front of the place, so there's that.

• Christine from Australia (6/10)

  Location was excellent for bars and cafes and main palaces are walking distance away. The airport bus line was also close by. Room has air conditioning which was efficient. Beds were clean- a little hard for my taste but still slept well. Bathroom was spacious enough and water was hot. Bathroom was clean. I was travelling with friends and we had connecting rooms with an extra outer door which could also be locked.
  The cost of the room was very competitive and so if on a budget- this could be a good option (if they attend to the things below). Communication with the hotel was quite good and someone did answer the phone quickly when we had an issue changing the code.

• Sezim from Kazakhstan (3/10)
