Gongdeok-dong Vacations from NT$11,044

Room was small but very clean, linens were good quality for a cheaper hotel. Desk staff is helpful, breakfast is basic but good if you need it. The best thing about this hotel is that it is quiet and clean while being reasonably priced in an unbeatable location. We spent 4 days/5 nights in Seoul and felt like this was the best and most central location we could have asked for in a room. Would recommend to anyone who is fine with basic amenities and is prioritizing location!

Clean and simple. Not a super personal place, staff are there but not super interactive. Overall a fine place to stay.

This hotel was adequate, but it has so much potential to be excellent if the rooms could be updated! The location is great - really close to train stations as well as the oldest street market in Seoul. Staff was very good; they helped us get taxis a few times within minutes (taxis are very cheap in Seoul). And they clean the room and provide water bottles daily. The wifi worked well, the AC was cold, and there were USB and two-pronged outlets compatible with US devices. There's a big old converter in the closet if you need to plug in a grounded three-pronged device. However, the rooms are older. Upon getting off the elevator on our 6th floor, you are greeted with a door to a storage room with peeling paint. The carpet is old. It seemed clean, just clearly old and worn. They attempted a few low-budget updates to the bathroom like newer wall tiles, but a few tiles were loose and needed grout or caulk. The sink was the lowest sink I've seen anywhere. Maybe we got a handicap-accessible room (I don't think it was), but I placed and sat down on a chair in front of the sink which made it about the right height for me ;-). All of this was fine and acceptable, but the biggest challenge was the old beds that were not comfortable. You can clearly see that the beds slope to the middle and it feels like it. Overall, it was a great location and clean room, but really just ok because of the age of the property and lack of updates, especially the beds.

Rooms were a lot bigger then others in Seoul. Beautiful, lots of space, comfy beds. The property was fantastic. No plug ins by the beds though! The breakfast wasn't included and it was pretty expensive but a very extensive buffet.

I booked the hotel based on the central location. Everything was walkable From the hotel, or it was a close walk to the subway. The selling point for this hotel is the staff. From the time we got there to hotel check out, the staff paid attention to our needs and was very proactive about making our stay enjoyable and comfortable. We got there early and the hotel saw how exhausted and tired we were and they made accommodations to get a room ready so we could rest. They also took all of our luggage and stored it for us in a secure area. There was a dayshift male manager that was working alone. He paid attention to everything and went out of his way to walk us to recommended eateries and stores. This hotel is a boutique hotel with minimal staffing and amenities but the staff they have here made the stay memorable.
