  The location here is very good, go out is East Temple station, travel is very convenient. The boss is also very enthusiastic, that day I arrived I did not find, he personally came out to pick me up, but also to help me carry luggage, very enthusiastic. The accommodation is very nice, clean and good value for money. The public areas on each floor have coffee machines to make coffee, as well as free ramen, free drinking water, the details are very in place, and the living is very comfortable. The floor heating in the room is very warm, and the room will not be cold when I return home this day.

• Annie from Australia (9/10)

  Bless the owner came up because I didn’t know how to use the padlock thing, thank you! (This was late at night too).
  The size of the room is small but enough for a solo traveller to be comfortable in. Washing machine is a gem, has a drying mode too! AC worked fine, bed was big and comfy.
  You literally just have to walk around the corner for Dongmyo Station where you can also walk underground towards Dongdaemun Market.
  
  There are a few stores near by like Daiso, Olive Young and other food stores to eat from (Goobne was so good) and this dumpling place down the road.
