I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was very convenient and within easy reach of all the major sightseeing spots I wanted to visit. The hotel was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. Having a small gym on-site was also a very convenient bonus. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was exactly like the pictures, everything was very clean and pretty, but above all, my favorite part of staying here was the staff. I accidentally booked a bed in a all male room, but they offered me to stay in a room that wasn’t prepared yet, just so I could have a place to stay. They are amazing!

Really great place to stay. The self-check-in process was smooth and super intuitive – everything worked perfectly and I felt comfortable right from the start. The location is excellent, close to everything but still quiet enough to relax. The rooms were clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed. You can tell a lot of care went into setting this place up. A great option if you're looking for a hassle-free, comfortable stay. I’d definitely come back.

Completely amazing pricing for all that's included, a lovely place with many essential shops around and what felt like it's own smaller town. Staff were lovely and I like to keep my room on do not disturb and they left fresh towels and bottles of water outside my room every day. It's about an hour and a half bus ride into your central places but would definitely stay here again.

    It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

    Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.

    This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
