Super convenient location and very friendly and helpful staff! The room is a bit small and it is a wet bath, nothing wrong with that just not used to it, and there is no laundry in the building. But overall, enjoyed my stay here!

駅のすぐそばだったのでとても便利でした。 スタッフの方もとても親切でした。 バスタオルやタオル、ガウンもちゃんとありました。シャワーの時はトイレまでびちょ濡れになるので、シャワーカーテンを持っていく方がいいかもしれません。

立地は良いです

立地条件はとても良いと思います。 人気のプレッツェル店も一階にあります。 寝るだけと思えば問題ないです。 ただシャワールームが狭くてトイレの床とフラットな為、トイレの方までビショビショになります。 でも使用済みのタオルでせき止めて何とかなりました。フロントでシャワーカーテンを貰うと良いです。 フロントの男の子は日本語も通じて親切でした。 翌朝フロントに社長さんがいて部屋の掃除を頼みましたが、夜帰ってきたらそのままの状態、忘れられてました。 でもフロントの男の子に伝えたら、ゴミやタオル交換もしてくれました。 お世話になりました。

The staff are great here and extremely helpful. The room we had was decent but there was very visible water damage within the room itself. Dark water marks in various areas of our room but we were only in there to sleep. The hotel itself is positioned so perfectly by a trainstation literally a minute away and seconds away from the night market which was perfect. There are also so many near by restaurants and an amazing view from the rooftop. All in all if it wasnt for the water damage in the room we would have given this review all 5s.

Good location, small space

Mostly clean, except i needed to get them to change the sheets. Its a small space so hard to maneuver large luggage. The bathroom didnt have a separate shower space nor surfaces to put belongings so that was a challenge for me. But it was still functional.

Property is in an excellent location, in the heart of myeongdong. The close proximity to the night market makes pursuing the area very easy and fun. However the specific room I stayed in had a few issues. The bathroom had mold growing in several areas, especially behind the door where a particularly large patch was growing. The walls were marked and damaged with stains or small tears. The room was small but not unbearable. Overall, 3 out of 5, the staff were professional and pleasant and the location was excellent. If the room was to be properly scrubbed and cleaned, the stay would have been very good.

8時の便で帰国するため、ソウル駅から始発の空港鉄道に乗りたかったのですが、ソウル駅周辺ホテルは高く、明洞にあるこちらに泊まりました。 朝5時は地下鉄が動いておらず、タクシーをホテルのスタッフさんに呼んでもらえないか頼みました。通説通り、現在ソウル駅（明洞駅から２駅）までは近すぎて予約はできないとのことなので、カカオタクシーをスタッフさんが呼んでくれました。本当に助かりました！！カカオタクシーは外国人が使うのはややこしいのでとても助かりました。 タクシーの運転手は、確かに不機嫌に現れました（10分ぐらいの移動なのに、早朝で迷惑だろうと思い、外国人らしくチップを含めて渡しました ）金浦空港まではタクシーで現在3000円ほどかかるのですが、ホテルの方のおかげで、空港鉄道15000wonとタクシー代（多分700円ぐらい）で移動できたので、本当に助かりました・・！ 帰国のためにタクシーを考えている人はオススメです。 ホテルには、リンス、シャンプー、ボディシャンプー、タオル、ドライヤー、冷蔵庫があり、エアコンも効いてます。泊まった部屋はスーツケースを二つ広げることができましたが、これは利用する部屋ランクによります。部屋の大きさは予約の時にへーベー数を見ればいいので自分でチェックできます。明洞の真ん中なので、ホテルの前に、コンビニや最近有名なメガコーヒー、レストランもたくさんで、食事と買い物に便利です。一日買い物や食事をして夜遅く帰り、寝るためにホテルを利用しました。 明洞に位置するため、部屋の中でも夜12時まで通りのBTSの歌詞まで聞こえる音量でしたが12時越えると静かです。治安が悪くないので若い女性にはおすすめです。ホテルのフロントは４Fになっています。ホテルには朝食は付いていませんが、３Fのお粥のお店で朝食をお勧めします。デポジットとして、現金で1000円ほど手渡しますが、これはカードキーをチェックアウトの時に手渡すと現金で戻ってきます。チェックアウト翌日に、無言で消えたりせず「明日何時頃にチェックアウトしたい」とホテルの人に伝えましょう。

Superb location, cleaning needs improvement.

Our family already stayed here last November 2017 and November 2019. I love the location, everything you need is just walking distance from the hotel and the size of the room is big compare to other hotels nearby, the staff were helpful and the price is reasonable. We booked 3 rooms last November 2022, we stayed here again for 13 nights however we are disappointed with how they clean the room now comparw to our previous stay. 1. Under bed is very dusty. I had an asthma attack. 2. To be honest I'm not sure if they were able to change our bed sheets and blankets in our 13 nights stay, bed is always messy even after we request cleaning. 3. The lady cleaner rarely clean the bathroom, she just picked up the trash and that's it! 4. After picking up the trash the lady cleaner will hand us the bottled water without removing the gloves she used in holding the trash. 5. Etc etc etc.. Overall I still love the hotel and location is perfect. I think they just need improvement when it comes ro cleaning.
