Amazing
GGuest UserI was able to check in early at 9:30 PM and even got a free room upgrade! The room was super clean. There's a coffee machine on the first floor and a water dispenser with an ice maker, which saved me money on coffee in the mornings. The location is incredibly convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Sinchon Exit 4. There are many popular trendy spots around Sinchon that often have queues, and there's also a Shinsegae Department Store and E-mart supermarket nearby.

GGuest UserPros: A staff member was always around (even if in the back of reception), spoke good English and gave us a pouch of amenities. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Big smart tv. They had underfloor heating. Unlimited water bottles. I think there was a coffee machine by reception too. We were impressed by how clean it was.
Cons: The space was a bit limited for 2 people, but we opened one of the suitcases on the sofa. There was only 1 big towel in the room, but the 2 smaller ones were still sufficient. Only 1 key card to share.
Despite initial worries because the price seemed too good to be true, there were no downsides. Pretty good value for money overall. We were worried it was a love motel but it was not the case. The alleyway wasn't bad or scary if you are walking from the main road, so I recommend that route if anyone was worried from other reviews. Make sure you copy the hangul/korean name of the hotel for maps/uber. It was a good hotel to stay at coming from Gimpo airport late night. Managed to order food delivery on baemin too :)

From these 3 points I can't give full score.
Other Negatives

GGuest UserLocation: Incheon Airport Bus 6013 drops you off just 100m from the hotel. The fare is 17,000 KRW per person, and the seats are large and comfortable. The one-way trip takes 1.5 hours, and it operates from around 4 AM until early morning.
Subway: The closest subway station is Janghanpyeong on Line 5, which is 1.4km from the hotel. It's a bit of a walk, which is fine if you're traveling with friends, but if you're alone and in a hurry, it might feel a bit far. However, there's a bus that takes you there in one stop.
Surroundings: There are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores. The restaurants are the kind that local Koreans frequent, and many are open 24 hours. I tried the pork bone soup (gamjatang) and it was delicious and affordable, with single-serving portions available. The other restaurants looked good too. It seems like the ganjang gejang (soy-marinated crab) downstairs and the spicy stir-fried chicken feet (dakbal) next door are locally famous.
Check-in: The shower had excellent hot water. The room facilities were very basic, and the room itself looked a bit dark. The curtains provided good blackout, and it wasn't noisy outside. You'll need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste; while slippers are provided, they're not disposable, so it's better to bring your own. The air conditioning provided plenty of warm air and heat, plus there was an electric blanket, so you won't be cold in winter. The AC made some noise, which I could tolerate, but sensitive individuals might want to bring earplugs. There's a free water dispenser downstairs with both hot and cold water. Housekeeping is not provided during your stay unless requested.
Overall, I'm very satisfied; it offers great value for money. The airport bus is especially convenient. Although there's a subway from the airport, the Korean subway is expensive and has many stairs, which is a hassle with luggage! I noticed flight attendants staying nearby, also using this airport bus for their commute.

ささっちャんAbout a 5-minute walk from Dongmyo Station? I think Exit 3 was the closest. There's also an elevator.
It's a completely self-check-in system.
You scan a QR code from LINE or similar to add them as a friend, then send screenshots of your reservation confirmation and passport via chat. After a short wait, your room number and room PIN will be sent, and you can enter your room.
The room cleaning wasn't exactly spotless... It felt a bit lacking, but it wasn't dirty by any means.
Water pressure in the shower was perfectly fine.
For a two-night stay, two face towels were provided. If you needed more, you could just grab them from the front desk area. However, if you came back late at night, there were no towels left...
The air conditioning seemed to be entirely controlled by the front desk, as I couldn't adjust the cooler myself.
There's a small G25 convenience store right in front of the hotel.
A hairdryer and power adapter were available.
I ordered delivery (Pedal) and it arrived at the correct address.

GGuest UserIt was nice that they let us take one drink per person, and the room was spacious and clean, which was nice😍 The staff were all very friendly! It was such a great experience that my Japanese friend said he wanted to stay here again when he comes to Korea❤️ I'm glad you made good memories.

FfeEdUrsOulThis hotel is very good in cleanliness. Actually they clean the room everyday and replace everything with a new one. However, our last day of stay shows one cockroach so really need to use the spray they provided.Please note, they do not provide toothbrush and toothpaste too.Not an issue for me though, because I everytime bring my own toiletries. Aside from that the service and kindness of the staff is outstanding. Will consider to stay in this hotel again as it is very convenient and accessible too.

JJadeyCMy third stay and this time round trying the Deluxe Dbl Room w no windows, which didn't bother me at all normally except they turn on heating which made the room extra stuffy since imo the weather wasn't very cold. The ventilation fan was also not working in the bathroom.
Luckily, there was a dehumidifier that kept some air circulation. I obviously couldn't leave the door open, so I just barely slept through the night. Luckily this time I only stayed one night.
Apart from this small incident, everything is still good, cleanliness, amenities, location etc etc.
The size of this room is really just nice as compared to the single room. There is a table, stool and fridge.
Will still recommend and definitely will return next trip.

AAnonymous UserThe hotel is easy to find, close to tourist attractions and transportation, making it convenient to travel around. The hotel is a bit old, but overall it's quite good. The room is warm, but if it gets hot, you can turn on the air conditioning yourself. They provide liquid soap, shampoo, and conditioner, which is excellent! If I go again, I'll definitely stay here.
