Reviews

• Rasa from Lithuania (8/10)

  Perfect location, super helpful staff and very comfortable room.

• Mary from United States (8/10)

  I really liked the area that it is located.

• Leslie from United States (8/10)

  Location was excellent. Clean, comfy rooms. Most everything was casual do-it-yourself. We did see someone briefly at check-in, but not at check-out. We never did see anyone on our return stay a few days later. Luggage storage behind counter was convenient though not secured.

• Leslie from United States (8/10)

  GREAT location! Right next door to Jogyesa Temple and bus stop. Easy walking to the 2 big palaces, Insa-dong street, and Hanok Village. Comfortable beds, new bottles of water each day, outlets near bed for phone charging, little toiletteries kit, nice air conditioning in first room a few days ago, but we couldn't read the Korean on this one so think we turned the heat on instead, or at least couldn't figure out how to change the temperature. Our problem, not the hotel's! Best part of all? Right around the corner from a "choffle" shop! The cinnamon ones are highly recommended!

• Moana from New Zealand (9/10)

  The location was brilliant, there was no breakfast offering

• Elena from South Korea (9/10)

  The room was pretty spacious, the bathroom was very nice and had a bathtub. The beds were super comfortable and clean. I liked that there was a little closet to store my clothes on hangers. The free toiletries were a pleasant bonus.
