Inns in Seoul

The location of this hotel is fantastic if you want to be right in the middle of a lively area with easy access to the Myeongdong Night Market. It is very near to an MRT exit, but bear in mind that this specific exit has no elevator; you will have to use the nearest escalator or staircase, which can be tough with a stroller. Furthermore, because the hotel sits right on a main road, there is no proper pick-up or drop-off area, making arriving and leaving by car quite chaotic. Inside the room, there is no kettle provided to boil water, and the bathroom lacks a separate wet and dry area because the sink tap is connected directly to the shower head, leaving the entire floor wet. We also bumped our heads a few times on the low clearance of the double-decker bed. For laundry, it is not a self-service coin system; instead, a man who said he is the owner handles it for you, takes cash payment directly, and then enters the room to put the clothes back for you. Aside from this laundry drop-off, there was actually no standard room service provided throughout our entire 3 night stay. Beyond the room setup, the overall stay felt quite uncomfortable because it constantly felt like we were being watched, as the man appeared very frequently to check if everything was okay. Considering the high price we paid to stay over the weekend for such a tiny room, it simply wasn't worth it. I would highly recommend choosing a different area where you can get a more decent, proper hotel-level room for your money, especially if you are traveling with small kids.

The staff was responsive when I emailed them ahead that I'll be checkin in late. My ID card was already prepared in the front desk when I arrived. Loved that the hotel was so conveniently located near Myeongdong Station but still quiet and peaceful. Room was clean and I appreciated the universal outlet. Space was enough for a solo traveler, but I'm not so sure if enough for two people. Breakfast was simple but good to start the day light.

The hotel is in a great location. The rooms and bathrooms are on the smaller side, and the beds are quite firm and not very comfortable. The pillows are old and didn’t provide much support. The service, however, was excellent—staff were very diligent, kind, and helpful. Guests are supposed to bring out their own towels and garbage, but they even offered to help with that, which I really appreciated. They have free washing machine that was a plus!  Breakfast was good. At first, I thought it would just be bread and spreads, but they actually offer a decent variety that changes daily, which is quite nice for a small hostel. But you have to wash your own dishes after you done. Overall, would I recommend it? Yes, especially for people who don’t mind compact rooms. Would I stay here again? Probably yes, but I really hope they improve the bedding.

The location is super convenient, really close to the subway! There are also lots of restaurants along the way. Plus, there's a convenience store right downstairs, which is a huge plus! Even though it's self check-in with no front desk, you can store your luggage downstairs, which is really handy. The only minor downside was that the duvet cover and pillowcase had a few small stains, but considering the price and location, it was still absolutely perfect.

This was my 3rd time staying here. However, this time I realized it is really not a good value. I stayed at other hotels in Seoul and Myeongdong. And even the Single room is extremely small and uncomfortable. I only had a backpack and it is so difficult to maneuver and organize. Unfortunately, both provided towels had stains. And instead of conditioner/rinse they had an extra bottle of shampoo. 2 bottles of shampoo and 1 bottle of body soap. TINY room on a weekday costs like an average APA hotel in Japan but almost half the size. Yet, towels had stains and conditioner is not provided ?

The location is super convenient, great for eating out and getting around. You can even take a walk at night, it's just so handy, everything you need is right there. However, the room was a bit creepy. I stayed in a family room with a small loft for sleeping, and it felt a little unsettling at night. Also, I couldn't quite understand why the family room had a bathtub placed outside the main bathroom area.

This hotel is perfect for a solo trip! It's only a seven or eight-minute walk to Line 1, which goes directly to Seoul Station. You only need one transfer to get to Hongdae. However, for foreigners, finding the right platform at Daebang Station can be a bit tricky, haha! Today Line 1 is on this platform, tomorrow it might be on the opposite side. I never really figured it out until I left. 😭 The CU convenience store across from the hotel is quite small, and the old man working the night shift has a terrible temper! Don't go there. Instead, walk left out of the hotel for two or three minutes, and you'll find a larger GS25 with a better selection. Go there to buy your things! There's a soup and rice restaurant nearby where the staff speaks Chinese, and the food is delicious! You can also find a Mega Olive Young within a five or six-minute walk. Food delivery can come right to the lobby, and there's a dedicated pick-up point.

Overall, the hotel provides a value for money experience. Location and cleanliness of the hotel is good. However, the facilities are a little lacking. For the service staff (especially the frront desk agents), they will only be on the desk at peak periods and as such it is hard to get hold of them when you really need them. With that said, the hotel staffs are polite enough and do provide acceptable services.

living as 2 friends here for a week was very comfortable. most importantly they have an elevator. the room has an electric kettle, hair dryer, hair straightener, mini refrigerator. they also had several water bottles and cups prepared in the refrigerator. around 4 pieces of towels and 2 bathrobes. two trash cans and two paper towel boxes. makeup desk with a mirror near the bed and another long desk with a computer. not much storage but it was ok for us to keep our stuff in our luggages since we were staying for a short period. the room had a huge TV with connection to the internet, a PC with a keyboard and headphones. the double bed was very comfortable but i wish they had separate blankets. the bathroom was clean and nice, wasn’t too damp like in other places i’ve been to. a toothpaste, body wash, shampoo and conditioner were prepared in full size which was very thoughtful of them. they also have mirrors on the inside of the windows. outside the room they had a microwave for shared use. people at the reception were nice and friendly, especially one man that always greeted us with a smile. i’m not sure about the noise cancelling though. sometimes sounds from the hallway would scare us when the staff were cleaning other rooms, but it was still a pleasant stay. a couple bus stops and subway stations were in a comfortable distance from the hotel, there’s a bus that goes right to the Olympic Park from KSPO side. i recommend if you are looking for a place not too far from KSPO (40 min walk or a short bus ride).

I am very happy with my stay at this hotel. The location is excellent and convenient, and the room was clean and comfortable. We were assigned a room on the highest floor, and the hotel staff were extremely helpful in assisting us with carrying our luggage up and down by stairs, which we greatly appreciated. One thing to note is that the laundry service is not free as stated on Trip.com. Only the laundry detergent is provided free of charge, while the use of the washing & drying machine requires payment. The hotel also provides a shared kitchen, which was clean, well-maintained, and convenient for guests who wish to prepare simple meals during their stay. Overall, I am satisfied with my stay and would recommend this hotel to other travelers.
