Unfortunately, this hotel was way too small. We arrived one day later and were told we still had to pay that night.

The rooms weee extremely small. The first room’s outlet was not in the wall. The shower was right in front of the toilet. No curtain was available. The sink leaked water and the door did not shut completely.

The room was super small that it was not enough room for luggage’s for three people. The mattresses were hard and the blankets were warm but felt like plastic. They made a rustling noise like plastic bags.

The next day, I asked if I would be charged for all five nights if I checked out that day. They said I would be charged for all nights at the regular rate I booked it for. I asked if a manager could consider at least charging only 50 % and the girl at the front desk kindly said they don’t do that. She was very courteous.

I left that day and they charged my card the $407.11. One night was enough for me at this hotel. I checked into another hotel with way more space with well functioning sinks, a shower with a shower curtain and tub that I didn’t have to worry about the toilet paper getting wet while I showered.

When my teen took a shower, the shower head would not stay in place and it ended up causing water to over flow into the bed areas. I was able to stop it with towels on the floor. I will never stay here again or recommend it to anyone.

Just about 5-10 min walk to metro. Clean and laundry available on site. Safe and not noisy. Room was small but we didnt spend much time hanging in room. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The location is okay being next to subway. Even though rural area, the hotel is clean, no smell of smoking, and especially manager was super nice. We came from usa and he helped us out and all. Subway is walkable, so u can go everywhere if u know how to use subway.

This hotel was not comfortable at all , there was no separate shower in the bathroom and the bed was very uncomfortable. Very hard mattress , even for Korea. Plus the towels were worn out and the sheets had old stains. On the plus side the location was nice and quite, close to small shops and about 800 meters from train station ( sinimun station, exit 1, about 8 min walk).

Clean and comfortable-Near subway

Pros: Price and easy subway access (8-10 min walk from Sinimun Station-line 1). Clean. Towels changed daily. Easy check-in (let me check in an hour early). They seem to allow you to leave your luggage behind if needed (saw plenty in the lobby area). Small cafe on the first floor, but also has lots of nearby convenience stores, restaurants, and cafes nearby.

Cons: The room is very small, so not ideal for those with a lot of luggage (was not a problem for us). It was a bit hot in the winter, so you may have to ask to have the floor heating turned down in the room.
*It is kind of out of the way from most tourist sites BUT this should not be a deternt because the subway is so close by and easy to maneuver to all the sites!

Additional Info: The beds are somewhat firm which is standard for Korea, but some may not be used to it.

Reasonable no thrills hotel

Upon arriving at the hotel it looked closed for refurbishment but it was actually open and it was obvious that the hotel had undergone some re-fitting. A couple of days and the lobby and Café took shape properly. The room provided was adequate (though small) as a base to explore Seoul but not for spending too much time in. With Metro Line 1 Sinimun station close by it took about an hour to get to most places of interest in Seoul. Local restaurants were worth exploring but language can be an issue, English is probably behind Japanese and Chinese but many have picture menus. Wi-Fi connectivity was an issue in our room with sporadic connection and loss of Internet routing. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful although English communication was quite difficult (Mandarin helped much better). All in all, for the price, a reasonable hotel to base a short stay on for independent travellers not wanting to use major hotel chains and who like exploring by foot and public transport.

Nice hotel close to everything

Quick check-in. The room has everything you need and more. There's your telly, fridge, AC and speedy internet. In the bathroom we had packs of toiletries in case you've forgotten your toothbrush or toothpaste, shampoo. The towels and rubbish were collected every day which was fine with us. Downstairs there is a café where you can have a snack and a drink. There is an option for breakfast but they need 10 people otherwise they can't do it. There's a small supermarket just outside the hotel. You can get anything you want there. There are many small eateries around. The station (Sinimun on line 1) is 10 mins away. It's really easy to find the hotel. At the station look for Exit 1 and go straight down the road. At the end of the road turn right, the hotel is on the right. The hotel is about 20-30 minutes away from central Seoul,30 mins to Seoul station but closer to Bukhansan mountain. If you have a query the reception is happy to check things out for you, like train times, etc. We're really happy with our stay.
I felt strongly about leaving a review in English as there aren't many. It's really important that other potential guests know about this hotel and make up their mind. Most of the guests are Korean ,Japanese and Chinese and so are the reviews too. I disagree with other reviewers that it was difficult to find. It's on the main road, you can't miss it.

Two supermarkets close to the hotel, and can find many typical Korean restaurants near by the hotel.
A bus number 216 is in front of the hotel that can send you to many hot places such as Myeong-dong, Dongdaemun, and Seoul Station etc. You can also walk to the Metro in 10 minutes then take around 10 minutes to reach such as Dongdaemun. It’s great location with the attractive price.

Inexpensive Hotel

I have only two complaints about my stay; there was hair on the floor so it had not been swept well and the room smelled of cigarettes. The cleanliness of the room was otherwise not an issue and the smell was only an issue in my room because a friend of mine was staying down the hall and she had no such issue. I only stayed one night here and although the location was a bit out of the way, it was close to line one and for how inexpensive it was I really don't have any major complaints. Nice place to stay and it's not too far from Hoegi, Dongdaemun, or Myeongdong.

Convenient in Seoul

We stayed in this hotel for three nights total and were overall pleased with our experience. The wifi internet was a weak signal though and the shower had no curtain which made the entire bathroom soaked every time the shower was used. But the convenience and price made these little things worth it.

bad location but comfortable room

Room is very comfortable for the price. The hotel is located close to Sinlimun subway station which is kind of far from the center of Seoul. It's also located against the street. However, it was actually fairly quiet at night. The bathroom is small but it's functional. Overall, it was comfortable.

Worth the Price

The stay was average. The hotel is very clean and modern with a little coffee and breakfast area downstairs. The staff is welcoming and eager to assist. The room was small but nice and clean. The bed is bigger than it appears the the photos.The bathroom experience was unsatisfactory as there was no separation of the shower and the rest of the bathroom so everything got soaked while bathing. Although we asked, they never changed the sheets. The free laundry came in handy. A great number of restaurants and eating places nearby. For the price you pay it was a good hotel stay. Will definitely stay again if necessary.

Great Value

I stayed here for 2 nights and it was fantastic. The room was spotlessly clean and very quiet. There's a coffee shop on the ground floor and the staff spoke English. It was really easy to find, about a 5 minute walk from Sinimun station. The hotel is not in a touristy part of Seoul, but rather a residential neighborhood. Overall, I was really impressed with the quality of the hotel for the low price and will definitely be staying here again.

다음날 첫타임에 학교 최종 면접시험 있어서 묵은곳인데 왠지 기분이 몹시 찜찜했다.

장기투숙객들로 보이는 학생들이 새벽까지 술마시고 떠들어서 새벽 3시넘어 잠들수 있었다.

그저그런곳

숙박으로만 하기에는 나쁘지 않지만 그 이상을 바라는 건 무리인 숙소인 것 같습니다. 이문동에 있는 여타 숙소들과 비슷한 수준이라고 생각하게 됩니다. 가격이 나름 괜찮다는 점 빼면 정말 좋다고 말하기는 힘듭니다.

깨끗해요

*장점
저렴한 것 대비 깨끗하고 침구가 산뜻함.
따뜻한물 완전 잘나옴.
바닥이 따뜻함.
버스정거장과 지하철역이 가까움.
아래에 편의점 바로 있음.

*아쉬운점
룸규모가 무척 작음.(트윈룸 기준)
외부 소음과 우풍이 있음.
주차공간이 협소한데 관리가 잘 안됨

*어매니티
다회용 : 샴푸/린스/바디샤워 // 실내화 // 드라이기
일회용 : 치약칫솔/비누/샤워스펀지 // 생수2병

*총평
직원분이 친절하고 방이 깨끗하고 침구에서 냄새가 나지 않고
기본적인 샤워용 어매니티까지 딱 준비되어 있어서
말그대로 가성비가 좋았습니다.
여행보다는 출장 등에서 하루정도 간략히 묵으면
부담없고 좋을 것 같아요

다만 자차를 이용했는데 주차공간이 협소해 이중주차 하였고
호텔측에서 관리해주는게 아니라 직접 관리해야해서
아침 일찍 차를 빼주어야 했던게 조금 아쉽습니다

地點不管坐公車或坐地鐵都很方便，對面公車261就可以玩透透整個首爾大點，是遊首爾的首選！地鐵站如果第一天到拉行李到飯店比較辛苦！因首爾地鐵很缺電梯跟上下手扶梯，如果行李多的人可能來回扛行李爬樓梯！出站直走到底右轉走一小段路就是飯店，周圍有很多咖啡店焼烤店吃宵夜很方便！便利超商也有！飯店晚上人員都可以説中文，早餐要訊問櫃枱人員才知有無提供，我們剛好碰到,飯店接團，所以有在星期六、日，用到早餐，簡單可口咖啡好喝，也很不錯！宵夜飯店左手邊有一家（丅hank you mom)的炸雞超好吃附上醃白蘿蔔酸甜好吃，很解辣！飯店房間很明亮乾淨，下回還會考慮入住！
