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.

YYaredaifuyouThis hotel greatly improved my impression of Korea. First, the price was great; it didn't increase during holidays and was still very affordable. Second, the amenities were excellent: free multi-plug charging cables, disposable face wash, skincare products, bath towels, bagged sterilized pajamas, condoms, and even a computer. These amenities are either unavailable or chargeable in China. Oh, and they even had a shoehorn, which I've only ever seen in five-star hotels. The difference was stark. It's also about a ten-minute walk from the subway station, just across one traffic light. There are convenience stores, restaurants, a laundry room, and a small supermarket nearby, which is very convenient. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Korea.

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 :)

MMisa93The location is good if you want peace, since it's close to Bukhansan National Park and not city centre. The room is very spacious, but the cleanliness was so-so. I found someone's hair on the bedside table, and the tiles in the bathroom weren't very clean. I guess it's what you get for the price. If you're a budget traveller, it's a good choice, if you want something more, look for other places. But the view was amazing.

GGuest UserThe bed in room 135 was narrow and small, and the mattress was extremely uncomfortable. No extra bed could be added, and an extra blanket cost 15,000 Korean Won. The facilities were basic. The bathroom had a heated bidet toilet seat. The toilet was prone to clogging, but when I called the front desk, a service staff member came up immediately to fix it. A lot of waste wouldn't flush, but the maintenance person fixed it in five minutes, and it was perfectly clean. Breakfast was very rich and delicious. The staff were polite, friendly, and efficient. The location was very convenient. The pressure cooker in the picture contains stewed rice, which was quite tasty.

HHan Hyo SangThe Moment i arrived at the Hotel, the staff was helpful, friendly and can speak in english so well. The hotel is in dongmyo area. just 5mins walk to train station. 3mins walk to Dongmyo Flea Market (So many choices at the CHEAPEST price, if you are lucky, you gonna find Hidden Gems 🤩). Restaurant is everywhere nearby, Banks, Money changer…just name it..its all nearby the hotel. is it safe to stay at the Hotel? YES, it safe, clean and just 1 mins walk to 24 convenience store. This is my review as solo traveler.

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.

MmunimunitantanThe room looks exactly like the pictures. The bed was really comfortable and clean, with no strange smells (housekeeping came daily to clean and empty the bins). The bathroom was spacious, making for a pleasant shower experience. We chose a quad room, and there was enough space to spread out my luggage. There are also lockers for valuables, but you need to bring your own padlock. The accommodation is on the third floor with no elevator, so it's a bit of a struggle if you have large luggage like I did. Also, the beds don't have curtains, which can make you feel a bit exposed. Since the room is small, any noise, like using the toilet in the middle of the night, is amplified, and I worried about disturbing others. However, for the price, I'm very satisfied! No complaints at all!
7.4/10
AAnonymous UserThe guest house is a nice place to stay as it's near the departmental stores. A bus stop to the Incheon International airport is nearby about 10 minutes walk. Room service is only available upon request if you stay four nights and above. The room has reasonable space and there are similar rooms but much more compact. The bed was comfortable, everything was great unfortunately sound proofing of the room is extremely bad if you have a neighbor staying that doesn't sleep until 5am laughing, talking loudly you won't have a good night sleep. A simple breakfast is also provided.

AAllysh@comfortable place...close to dongmyo flea market..have to wait for more money because it's random when walking, wash your eyes at dongmyo flea market..close to laundry..wanting to wash clothes in the middle of the night is ok..,,😂😂😂
