Andreiya from Philippines (8/10)
The place is in the best location for people who are staying in Seoul long term. It is near 3 trainstations, a lot of bus stops and it is right in front of their airport bus stop. It is also near the police station, hospital, and Markets so it is so easy and secure to get around from it.
Tiem from Singapore (8/10)
Within walking distance between 2 metros (one of them link to 2 other metro lines). There are convenience stores, eateries, shopping places around the area. The kitchenette is great as I can toss up quick dinner instead of eating out. Best of all, the airport bus stop (bus 6001) is just right in front of the hotel.

Luis from Costa Rica (8/10)
I was really impressed with the size of the room and all the storage space, even in the bathroom. Basic equipment for cooking with gas, a microwave, a kettle, and a fridge. Old coin laundry machines on several floors. Polite and helpful staff. The bed was comfortable. Huge working space for two people. The cleaning lady was excellent doing her job. Very recommended for long stays.
