Reviews

  • Mario from Italy (8/10)

    Very large room in the heart of Gangnam close to everything. Clean and reasonably priced.

  • Karina from Kyrgyzstan (9/10)

    Stayed here for 8 nights – it was amazing. Totally recommend this place to everyone! First of all, location was just perfect. It was right next to cafes/restaurants, convenience stores and bus/metro stations. I could easily get to my dentist appointments and all of the Gangnam attraction spots. The owner is super nice, assisting us for a comfortable stay. Everything in the room worked well, kitchen was full with supplies so there’s no need to bring your own stuff to cook. All in all, I’d definitely love to come back once I’ll be in Seoul again. Thank you!!
