Great place to stay at a reasonable price in this area of Seoul. The breakfast that was included was excellent, offering both western and Korean inspired options. Staff and cleaners were very considerate and left extra towels and water outside of our room while we were out. I would consider staying here again in the future.

Nice place to stay, clean, friendly, safe, quiet, comfortable room, decent breakfast except that the breakfast place seemed understaffed such that refills of food were slow, fruit juice is low quality and fruits were either bananas or orange only…but overall very good value hotel.

Good: Room in great condition and wonderful staff. Conveniently attached to a convenience store with proximity to three train lines. To improve: Toilet bidet did not appear to function in my room. Room was too hot (26⁰C). No way to cool aside from opening the window. Street noises are too loud to keep window open while asleep.
