I enjoyed staying here as it was close enough to Myeongdong, but still far enough to avpid the craziness. It is at a nice border and very close to both City Hall station, and the City Hall Plaza Hotel where the Airport Limousine bus can take you to and from the airport.
The breakfast was a nice add-on as it can be hard to find breakfast optipns early in the morning.
The room design is great and the bed is very comfortable.
My only feedback is that though the toilet was clean, the toilet seat was slightly coming off due to the hinges, so that should he fixed for safety.
The front desk staff was great and I would stay here again!

To be clear, this hotel is located more on the northwest border of Myeongdong and not right around the shopping street/station. It's about a 15-20 minute walk away.

Initially, we wanted to stay in the heart of Myeongdong to be close to the “action.”That would have been a mistake. This place was FAR better. Quietly tucked away from the main street (thus, quieter), you are still surrounded by many eateries and shopping.

You’re a 5-minute walk from the City Hall metro stop (1 stop from Seoul Station), Namdaemun Market, and Deoksugung Palace. If you’re so inclined, you can walk 25 minutes up the main road past the statues of King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sun-sin to Gyeongbokgung. Otherwise, there’s a bus stop less than 5 minutes away that will take you directly there.

The hotel has very nice service and all the amenities you need for your stay. Staff is very welcoming and spoke good English. The laundry facility was especially helpful. We booked the Family Suite which was just right for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids 10 and under). It has a double bed and a twin. I didn't get to try to the breakfast, but it looked delicious.

I'm happy I made the choice to stay here. Would definitely stay again.

I came here alone for a 6 night stay during my stay at Seoul. The room was clean and well decorated. It’s perfect for 1-2 people as the room was a bit small. Some things that I didn’t like: (1) Your room gets cleaned every 3 days unless you request for other days (2) When they clean the room, they do not clean the used cups or refill the tea/coffee (3) You have to go through a little alley street to get to the hotel. It could be quite intimidating if it’s too late into the night as it’s dark. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here as it was reasonably priced and close to places I wanted to go to.

Great location, City centre train station just a few minutes walk. A 15 minute walk to Meyong-dong walking street for the night time street food, shopping and people watching. The only issue was the ‘hot’ items were always cold until the last morning of my stay. It’s almost like the hot plates were not turned on. I was there for breakfast as soon as the restaurant opened so it’s not like the food had been sitting around for long. For a budget hotel I thought it was great value in a suburb location.

I booked at this location because it was central to everything and uptown. It was close to the two main subway lines that can take you anywhere. It’s close to the Myeong-dong market. There are two 7/11 stores near this hotel to pick up refreshments. This hotel also has a WOWPASS machine, which is excellent if you want a combo prepaid debit/T-money card. Staff was friendly and room AC was godsend. It is a bit noisy in the hallway, especially for those coming home late. I would stay at this hotel again.

1. The room was not clean. We saw the same dirty spots when we checked-in and throughout our stay. There was dust everywhere especially the bathroom (toilet tank, behind the toilet tank, bathroom mirror). No toiletries or coffee packs were replishened until we asked the front desk to do so.
2. There is no exhaust fan in the bathroom.
3. Air conditioning was not on when the temperature was in the mid 70s farenheit. The front desk said it is not Spring; isn't April considered a Spring month?
4. We found hair in one of the trays in the breakfast buffet. It was brought to the staff's attention and all they did was remove it from the tray and still continue to serve it as if nothing happened. GROSS!!
5. Only one key card was given until we asked to provide a spare one.
6. Not enough washing and drying machine on premise. Another guest removed all of our clothes from the washing machine when we came downstairs to put in the dryer. We were only a couple minutes late to retrieve our items... It is so incredibly rude!

Everything about my stay was great! The location was an easy commute to city hall station, was 5min walk from Namdaemun market, and the surrounding area was very nice. Not a dealbreaker for me, but the description on the website said the myeongdong was only a 5 minute commute. From my experience, this was not accurate at all. Instead, it took around 15 minutes to get there, but it wouldn’t prevent me from booking at this location again. Additionally, the area was quite noisy. The wall is pretty thin, so you could hear everything going on in your neighbor’s room as well as outside of your window. Again, this wasn’t a dealbreaker for me, but there is something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a quiet location.

If you prefer a quick summary, here it is: do not stay here. The building has a persistent unpleasant smell and is not clean.

The only positive things I can say about this place are that the receptionists were welcoming and that it is well located. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The building was poorly maintained and had a strong, musty smell throughout, from the elevator to the hallways and even in the room. It seems like the carpets need to be cleaned, which may be contributing to the odor.
Additionally, the rooms were not very clean. The walls had marks on them, and found some hair on the bed. The bathroom was also poorly maintained.
It seems that many of the positive reviews for this establishment may be influenced by a promotional offer. Guests who leave a review can receive a late checkout, and one hour of that late checkout is complimentary. Otherwise, there is a fee for late checkouts charged by the hour.
I highly recommend that you avoid staying at this establishment if you can.

As for the location, it simply cannot be beat. From local eateries to department stores to city markets, I don't think I could have found a better place to stay at.

Unfortunately the hotel requires a renovation, given the condition of the rooms.

Carpet was stained and generally un-enticing.
However, the pluses was a great location, walkable to Myeongdong and other nearby areas, close to shops, restaurants (right around the corner)and the night markets.
