Really enjoyed staying the hotel. I could get the clear N-tower view directly from the room.
100% visit again.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is so close to many restaurants, coffee shops and two metro lines. It was also conveniently located to Gwangjang Market via a 10 minute walk, Bukchon Hanok Village 20 minutes via metro and Gyeonggbokgung Palace. You can easily hike Namsan Mt. Park all the way to Seoul Tower in about 90 minutes, starting from the hotel all the way to the top. The staff were very friendly and accommodating organizing taxi services and helping with directions to get around the city. The room needs a bit of updating but it was clean, functional, the bed was comfortable to sleep in and it had a nice view of North Seoul Tower. I would highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again!

It wasn’t dirty, however wished the hotel could focus more on maintenance and upkeep as the wallpapers are peeling off, rust on the mirror, cracked walls, stains on bed sheets and blanket… The location was great though, 15 minutes walk to Myeongdong main street, 10 minutes walk to Gwangjang market and there were convenience stores nearby. There were bare minimum facilities, I was mildly satisfied…We were able to watch netflix so that was good! The temperature in the room was just as well!

The hotel is located about 15minutes by foot from Gwanjang Market. We did not have breakfast. The rooms where clean. There was free bottled water in the lobby.

Strategic location. You can walk up to myeongdong street for shopping or u can take the bus thats near the hotel. Namsan tower is "near" from the hotel. theres busses frm hotel to namsan tower. Hanok villge is also near. But if u are not particular about your bed n pillow, u may try this hotel. Bed is hard to sleep on. The main sink n washing machine not able to use. Peeling wallpaper but still ok.

The hotel is in a good location and the staff is friendly. However, the rooms feel a bit run down and due a refresh.

Great location! Lots of food options nearby. Strategically located (Chungmuro Stn) and accessible to all popular locations. Room was clean and spacious. Common pantry in the lobby was a nice touch.

Good location, nearby to a few train stations so I can choose to alight at different stops depending on where I came from. Amenities like soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, towels provided, as per stated in the listing. Common pantry at level 1 can be used, which has hot water, coffee, cutlery, microwave. Comfortable and recommended to stay.

Friendly and helpful staff. Near chungmuro station and 1 stop away from Myeongdong. Easy access pantry and unlimited drinking water. Shower curtain should be added, top cabinet above where cooking used to be done should be remove as it is dangerous. Overall good 👍
