Great place to stay and enjoy real korean life. Easy access to downtown. If you want a western vibe, dont stay here, otherwise this place is great. Close to everything but away from noise. The staff is super friendly and the hotel.is surrounded by pure korean lige and food.

It was dirty both in the room and in the restaurant. Definitely not recommended unless you want a very budget hotel.

Modern, quiet hotel despite being in a vibrant area. Separate bath, separate (automatic) toilet. Convenient location

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

This is old , dark , dirty hotel. The room has huge bath tub but such waste of space. They should use this space for sink, closet and cabinet . The whole hotel is dark and gloomy , the breakfast was so basic and is served in the basement where it smells of sewage . I could not wait to get out of there

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 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).

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.

Super value! Large western style rooms and huge bathtub was a surprise. No carpet in room which was nice and clean! Good location.

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.

The hotel is a few minute walk to the bus and metro station. When I checked out I could leave the suitcases at the hotel. The staff were really helpful! When I asked if they had a space to freshen up, they gave me a key to a room! All credits to the staff. I could really recommend staying there!
