This hotel was excellent. The rooms were lovely and quiet, although a bit small for 3 people. However, the amenities and location were perfect and the staff was very helpful and welcoming! It's a smaller size hotel, which I appreciated in a great location in Seoul. We didn't eat at the hotel but there are a number of coffee shops and restaurants near by and easily accessible. The street behind the hotel is full of little shops and eateries and lively at night. There is a lovely Buddhist temple across the street from the front of the hotel that is most welcoming. The price was right and I would definitely stay here again.

This is really better than I thought. Super clean with a good smell everywhere, not only in the room but in common spaces too. They have a nice outdoor space with a small common area where you can drink water, wash your clothes, and even use premium espresso coffee machines! They have provided so many great facilities, and everything is free of charge! For example, they have two huge washing machines, free laundry detergent, hot air clothes laundry, a water purifier with cold, normal, and hot water options, and like I said, premium coffee machines. Every facility and appliance is a premium brand and very well maintained, not cheap, almost broken ones! And the room is super nice, small, yes, but okay for one person. It makes me feel cozy with a great smell, a nice little refrigerator, hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner, and soap, even shower water purified. Again, every product feels premium and is all made in Korea, not cheap ones, I must say, even more premium than some hotels… The bed is nice and soft, super clean. With this price, I can say this is better than a hotel. This hostel is very modern, not an old, scary, creepy one. The location is excellent very close to subway station and convenient store with so many restaurants nearby. . 阿姨人非常好,會講中文也很親切。

The location of the facility was very convenient. It has a very accessible location from the subway stations. The hygiene overall of the facility was great! The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly as well. I think if I'm visiting Korea again, I would book this place again. Recommended for fellow visitors!

    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.
