Reviews
Raouiamsa from United Kingdom (8/10)
Stayed there for 14 nights ! It was nice clean and comfortable. The only thing is the cleaning system we needed to keep asking for them to clean our room change sheets and towels. Even Though we were told when we checked in because it's a long stay our room will be cleaned every 3 days. But it didn't happen. In the kitchen most things are "Staff Only". There is laundry that you pay i think 1000 won for which is reasonable . The staff were nice and helpful. Spoke in good English We had no problems during our stay. Very close to the station and seven eleven GS25 … Plenty of restaurants just 2 mins away. Bars as well. It is in myeongdong but 9 to 10 mins walk and the area is quieter than myeongdong and u get a great sleep.
Malkiel from United States (7/10)
Allowing me to have early check in, before noon. The location is good. The staff is friendly and speaks well English.
Brian from Australia (7/10)
The location was good with a 2-minute walk to the train station. The staff were very friendly and helpful and you could have a free coffee in the sitting area.
Claverie from France (8/10)
Location is near a lot of historical attraction, it's quite clean and comfortable. The girl in the reception who check us in during the evening was really nice (thumbs up for her). There's places to eat near the reception. There's no breakfast though, but at least you can eat outside your room. Safe area.
Leanna from Canada (8/10)
Mingu from South Korea (8/10)
This is the place for those who wanted to travel through the heart of Seoul. The place known as Hip-Ji-ro where once a small industrial area has embraced young and hip culture, very unique experience for new comers!
Sheng from Taiwan (7/10)
It's good for tourist who wanna save money. The location is good. 1 min walk to subway station and convenient store.
Christel from Japan (8/10)
It’s close to the metro station and walking distance to some of the tourist spots (and a really good taco shop if you need a break from Korean food)
The room was kind of tight with 2 suitcases but bed was comfortable.
We did laundry and it was really cheap.
Wifi was good.
The staff were really nice and they all speak English well. They even helped with recommendations with food.Inga from Germany (7/10)
Staff was extremely nice, it was clean, good board with informations at reception
Angelee from Philippines (9/10)
It's one of the cheapest offers around Seoul for a private room so it's understandably small. Train station is conveniently directly in front (1 min walk). The toilet has bidet function. Wifi was stable. Staff was friendly. They have a shared fully equiped kitchen.
