This place is close to everything. Bus station, main road, train station and there are a lot of restaurants nearby. It’s in a place near night life but it’s not noisy. The room we had was big, we could freely open our luggages and move around the room. The bathroom is also big which I loved. It’s a budget hotel that serves more than it’s price

Most importantly, the staff were so nice. I had to rebook due to flight changes and I emailed them and they responded promptly and assisted me. But then we had another flight change so I emailed them again if we can extend and they assisted me accordingly.

They also allow leaving the luggages if you check out earlier than your flight and they out notes on it to be organized. We’re gonna come back to this place again when we can. Thank you!

Great location - at first glance wasn’t sure I chose a good location; however, it’s ideally between insadong and myeongdong and several sites. Nearby food and amenities. Staff were super kind and thoughtful with many complimentary drinks. My only note is the cleaniness in the bathroom could have been a bit better - still the staff were really thoughtful

The staff is very very attentive. As far as the room it was very good for the price. The only problem would be a little smell that I think comes from the plumbing, but other then that it was walking distance to a lot of stores. It make look a bit sketchy but it’s is a good place to stay in and it allowed me to have a calmer trip.

The room was clean and nice. The toilet layout was kinda strange, where the wash basin is in a separate section but no issues. I love the heated toilet bowl since the weather was cold. Overall very nice the staff was helpful and polite, helped me with a super early check in too. but I think i was just lucky the room was vacant. Despite the concern of noise due to the busy nightlife around stated in the reviews, it was not noisy at all, Slept well! There are many good restaurants near by and some are 24 hours!

We are in our 60s, traveling on a budget, and value modesty and honesty. This is our second hotel during our 26-day trip. We can say that it has all the necessary amenities, the price is very reasonable, and the location is excellent. The staff is attentive and quick to resolve any issues.

When booking, I always read reviews, and I feel it’s important to mention that this hotel is located above a bar with karaoke that runs from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. If you love loud music and nightlife, this place will be ideal for you. However, if you’re like me and go to sleep early—around 9 p.m.—even with ear pods and two sleeping pills, the noise was overwhelming, and I felt like a walking mummy the next day.

Fortunately, the staff kindly moved me to a room without windows, for which I was very grateful. The shower pressure and cleanliness were excellent. It pains me to mention the noise issue because the staff was so accommodating, but honesty is important. I will still rate this hotel highly for their effort and kindness. Please, always be truthful in advertising, as this detail significantly affected our stay.

Cons: outside noise-hotel is above a karaoke bar or similar - a pair of good ear plugs is a must. The phone connects to the front desk only, the attendant did not speak English.The room was supplied with the insect repellant. We got a few stings, but unsure what it was( flees?)

Lots of bars and clubs in the vicinity area
Great for solo or friends trip. Not recommended for family. But room is actually quite big.
Good heating in the room, and there's an attic in our room

Toilet small and floor is cold.

Overall value for money, but not recommended for families with young children.

I needed to crash for a night to catch an early flight the next morning so this worked for me location wise as well. The front desk person was very nice and helped me with door locks etc.
However, the property has physical issues with the way the rooms have sewage pipes running into them and the smell of sewage is constantly entering the rooms. I did not expect this. There is a lot happening so there is noise which I expected but the smell was something I could not overcome. Never would stay here again even if it were just a night.

It was a great cheap stay in Seoul. The bed was comfortable the shower was right with pressure I couldn’t fault it at all for the price and I’m picky! It was in a great area easy to get around train station super close and great food everywhere. I would definitely stay here again. Also the gentleman was super friendly! If your coming from the airport I would definitely take the 6002 bus drops you off super close about a 1 min walk and cost about $17 aus

Good: the gentleman who at the front desk is very helpful and friendly. I wasn’t able to check in until 1am due to a delayed flight and when I struggled to unlock my room, he came out to help me. Located near subway stations and in a main area. Decent amenities.

Bad: the hotel is on top of a bar and it can get really loud. AC wasn’t that cold and it was noisy. Big step to get to the bathroom/toilet/sink. The pictures for the room showed a bath but unfortunately there wasn’t one. No window in the room so the air seemed a bit stale and no natural sunlight to let you know what time it is.

Air con was so loud and tv only went up to a certain volume and was quiet so had to decide if i wanted air con or tv as couldn't do both with how loyd it was. Tv is also in an awkward place so had to lie down the bottom of the bed to watch it. Check in seemed rushed with no information what so ever. Was also there for 6 nights and had house keeping once but bedding wasnt touched. Room also had a sewer like smell after every time the shower was used.

Centrally located, low price

Enjoyed Seoul by staying at this centrally located hotel.

Located on top of a bar, they had piano and sax covers going, so it can get loud throughout the day and especially at night. I used ear plugs and was able to sleep fine.

They provided two water bottles daily for the first couple days.
- They provided a charger adapter/converter so you don't have to buy one.
- In addition to shampoo, conditioner and body wash they provide other amenities like toothbrush, comb, soap, shaving gel, etc.
- My TV had hundreds of channels that I could surf through.
- Room came with a desk, refrigerator and dresser.

This is a very well located hotel right in the heart of Jonggag. Insadong is a 10 minute walk away, the subway is a 2 minute walk away, lots of restaurants and bars directly around the area.

If you've got a family, you're elderly or you don't like noise, this may not be the property for you because there's a lot of loud music coming from the bar at the bottom floor of the property. You will hear that noise past 10:30pm on various nights and even with the windows closed it will still come through. It wasn't a deal breaker for me but others may find it annoying if they're trying to get sleep.
