You pay what you get…the place itself is in a be re central location , you’re right by Seoul station. However if you are carry heavy suitcases, keep in mind they don’t have elevators so I had to lug my suitcases up 3 floors. The bed itself was comfortable but the showers had mould everywhere. No bad smells in the room though.

Great location since it's less than a 5 minute walk to Seoul Station. Also right infront of Exit 13 and 14 of Seoul Station. It's a bit noisy outside with traffic sounds but they do provide earplugs if that's a problem for you. The biggest thing is NO ELEVATOR so keep that in mind if you have heavy suitcases or multiple bags to carry. You have to walk up 3 flights of stairs to enter the hotel. The bathroom is a wet bathroom with the sink connected to the shower head. Always stays wet inside but they provided wet slippers to use. Staff were friendly upon check in. I had an issue with my credit card not working but the staff worked diligently to make sure my payment went through. The biggest pro about the hotel is location and convenience via subway and bus. The biggest con is no elevator.

This place is a convenient choice if you’re looking to be right next to Seoul station. However, with its price per night there are better options that offer a lot more amenities. There is no washroom available prior or after check out. There is no breakfast available and the homeless shelter is next store. Also, the mattress is rock hard. Maybe some things to consider when booking here.

The hotel is located starting on the 3rd floor of a building that has no elevator so be prepared to carry your luggage up three flights. My plastic bathroom shower curtain was moldy, and not just a little. There were the same trash bags on the third floor landing outside the hotel entrance for the entirety of my 3 day stay. There are many unhoused people who sleep around and on the stairs of the building entrance. They use a room freshener that is too strong, so I had to keep the windows open. The staff was friendly and the room bedding was clean.

Prior to going to the hotel & reading so many negative reviews I thought of cancelling - I was expecting the worst.
The hotel was excellent. Thoroughly clean - bathroom was spotless. Had all the amenities of a modern hotel. Yes bathroom floor gets wet but they provide footwear so your feet don't get wet.Yes it is smallish but there's room for everything. There are two short flights of stairs up to reception (not climbing Mt Everest)- contrary to reports well lit & roomy. People just need to get over themselves.
Very well priced & so close to Seoul Station. An excellent place to stay - highly recommended.

Honestly pretty gross and waaaay too expensive for the size of the room and condition of everything. No elevator and on the 3rd floor. Smelled weird. Very loud with street noise and other guests stumbling in late in the evening. Thin walls. We stayed here for proximity to Seoul station, but the metro in Seoul is very easy and quick. I would recommend staying farther away and taking the metro to Seoul station in the morning.

If you want them to clean your room you have to ask for it. Its well located but there are many homeless right outside the hotel. THE WORST, NO ELEVATOR!!!

Decent stay

The hotel is conveniently located near Seoul station (Exit 13 and 14). Room was clean and provided the basic necessities. The slightly down side for me were that there was no chair in the room (understandably due to the small space) and the blinds were not effective at all, hence the light enters the room and it was bright around 6-7am, so it is very harsh for light sleepers.

Note though that if you have heavy luggage or have difficulty going up stairs, there is no elevator to the hotel on the 3rd floor of the building. Rooms are small by western standards and the shower is standing only (no tub or curtain and drain goes right to the bathroom floor). Good value for the price and location though.

Good location, comfy beds, would recommend

Location is great if you’re looking to stay by the Seoul station. It’s a 5 minute walk to Seoul station, otherwise, there are subway entrances right outside the door. Outside on the sidewalk and up the staircase is a bit dirty, but once you enter into the premises the place is clean and well maintained. If your window is facing the street and you open it, you’re bound to have the smell of cigarette smoke come into your room every once in a while. The beds are pretty comfortable. They’re much better than others I slept on. Breakfast is also nice (options are bread, eggs, cereal, juice, and coffee) but sometimes it can get crowded in the morning so just be patient.

If your room is locate on the 3rd Floor you do not have to climb up the stair but if you booked on the 4th Floor you need to climb up the stair with you luggage.
