Great stay in central Seoul with an amazing staff

Short stay in Seoul. Centrally located with a confortable room, although not much natural light in the room i was in. Most important the front desk staff was amazing, offering to help me out of a bit of a jam.

8/10 Very good

Smart modern room with some stylish features. Lacking a safe and some extra plug sockets. Good to have included breakfast with nice options. Staff very friendly and hotel is in great location for getting around the city.

Stay was okay, hotel needs some updates and a proper cleaning. Loved the neighborhood though, so still recommend it for a short trip to Seoul

4/10 Fair

Reception personnel are not professional in demeanor. The bed is uncomfortably soft. The neighborhood is very noisy all through out the day and night. Conveniently located.

Great value for the price.
Elliott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We only stayed to sleep here. Good value. The place is small but is good enough for a couple. Place is modern. Bed is comfy. Sure close to places to eat and drink but this is inan area where people drink and go for night out in Seoul so I would not recommend for families or ladies travelling by themselves at night. If youre a couple, it's somewhat fine.

Great Location but Disappointing

Great location in central Seoul. So many sites within walking distance. A lot of cafés, restaurants, coffee houses in the area. Room was nice sized but needed a deep cleaning. Furnishings needed a good dusting. Very little wardrobe space with just 2 hangers, no drawers, no luggage rack. Breakfast was simple but ok. Front desk staff was most kind, helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay for 3 days!

Great stay in a quiet and narrow street but close to many restaurants and metro/tube station. The Main Street is busy at night each day but cannot be heard from the rooms. Breakfast is free and fine for western travellers (coffee, toast, fruit).

Super value! Large western style rooms and huge bathtub was a surprise. No carpet in room which was nice and clean! Good location.
Norris, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient location, but need more cleaning

The hotel is located at very touristy and busy area of the city centre. I enjoyed the convenient location and the availability of convenience stores and cafés. Though the rooms are relatively large, it was very dusty and the bed sheets occasionally stained. On my first day I found a dirty sock and trash under the bed. On the positive side I found the bed to be comfy, the windows surprisingly soundproof, but the room was very hot, even on «cold» days. The staff knows very little English, so anything beyond the simple instructions and per usual checkin-checkout-dialogue, it was harder to communicate. They were nonetheless helpful and friendly still. I also enjoyed the complimentary two bottles of water provided every day.
Xueqi, 12-night trip

6/10 Good

Good room, nice area

The room was lovely. The bed comfortable and the room smart. The bathroom offered little privacy which might not be ideal for some people. The breakfast was free and in a basement. However we saw the guy serving go to the toilet (to which the door was open to the dining room) with his gloves on and not change his gloves after. Gloves are very unhygienic when combined with such behaviour. This was quite off putting! The room was noisy at times due to people shouting late at night and building work in a nearby building in early morning. But it wasn’t too bad. None of the tours would pick up from this hotel we had to travel to Myengdong
Laura, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

lots of restaurants nearby

it's in the heart of Myeongdong and there are lots of attractions nearby. The hotel is ok. the bathroom is big and very clean. the bed is comfortable. however they don't have a separate area for luggage storage, you can store only in the lobby. It's fine I guess in Seoul it's very safe, but I still was worried if people would accidently take my luggage. They have simple continental breakfast included. it was ok, with boiled eggs, toasts, fruits, etc. you can also have instant noodles for breakfast, but i didn't try it. as I said this is located in the heart of Myeongdong, so for those who prefer quiet at night, this is NOT for you, because it actually was kind of noisy at night. However, for those who want to eat late, drink late, etc, this is perfect because everything is walking distance.

Very comfortable hotel in old Seoul

Very comfortable hotel based in strategic position of old Seoul. The hotel is based just 10 min by foot from subway line 1 and 3, close to hundred of mini market and restaurants. Nice location for tourists but the room are comfortable even for people like me that visit for Business. Wifi in the room is very good. The hotel declares no breakfast included but actually they offer every morning a nice selection of salad, egg, bread, fruits, jam, juice and coffee.
