It was alright. Affordable but did not feel most safest stay. Our room was separate from other rooms right by the staircase. The beds were cramped together and there was barely any space to open luggage. The shower head is inbetween the sink and toilet and the entire floor remains wet after showering since it is all connected.

This is a tough review to write. All the previous negative and positive reviews are correct. However, it doesn't deserve some of the low star ratings. It is a cross between a budget hotel and a modern hostel. Location: Excellent. Walkable to 2 metro station (5-10 min walk). Anguk station is more straightforward, Jongno 3 Ga station is a little tricky, but after awhile, there is a quick short cut through the hanok alleys. The hotel is also within walking distance to the palace area, including one that has free admission. Pricing: Very reasonalbe. Staff: Superb. The manager and other employees are responsive and extremely pleasant and courteous. I asked to switch to another available room, and it was done quickly. Kitchen and common area: All of the machines and utensils typical of a very good hostel (much better than a regular hotel). Room: On the smaller side. The floor is heated in the winter, and sometime it gets too warm. Rooms near the stairs are usually noisier than far away. Bathroom quirks: Typical setting of an Asian wet bathroom. The shower head is position right above the sink and the toilet bowl. This didn't bother me. The reason I think both previous negative and positive comments are correct is that, it has all the good services and amenities of a modern hostel. The private bathroom makes it a "hotel", albeit a budget one. The location, the services, the staff and the pricing all make up its quirks and drawbacks.

Let’s start with what was good. The staff was excellent. There was a free Ramen noodle bar and coffee and espresso and tea. Let’s go to what needs work. The rooms are only cleaned after four nights, which means the floors are allowed to stay dirty, but the towels are changed daily. So you can’t let your towel touch the floor because the floor is dirty. Although there is free, Ramen noodle and coffee guests are required to wash their own dishes. I could stay home and do that. Also, the breakfast is not breakfast. It’s boiled eggs, bananas, and orange slices. That is not breakfast. And there’s not enough room in the breakfast room for all of the guests so, many are forced out of the room or(we were asked to leave so others can sit). Luckily, there’s a McDonald’s nearby. The beds are not comfortable, but the down comforters are amazing. It’s a sparse Motel for a low budget.

The hotel staff were all very kind. The room temperature was too hot on the day I checked in, and there was no thermostat in the room, so the front desk staff left at 10pm. It was so hot that night I couldn't get a good night's sleep, but I told the hotel staff the next morning and they adjusted it for me. The hotel staff are there from 8am and leave at 10pm, so they can't adjust the temperature after 10pm, so I recommend letting them know in advance.

Good value if the rates are low enough. Location is very walkable to so many sights. Not having an isolated shower makes the bathroom awkward after it gets wet, but you can work with it. Housekeeping will only change the towels, so if you're there for an extended duration the room will get dirty.

Easy, Clean, convenient. If you’re on the go and basically just need a place to relax and sleep, you’ll love it here and the area is not crowded. With Near by shopping at this cute village I think it’s insadong area, with many cute cafes, many options for dinning and they have many cute little gift shops worth checking out. It’s also walking distances to the train or bus station so you can explore many more shopping are. You can walk to the palace from here which is probably around 20min. Furthermore, exploring South Korea is so much nicer when you walk and just take the time to enjoy all their outdoor adventures because it’s so beautiful and along the way you can just stop to try out random restaurants and you’ll have the most memorable experience full of wow’s and fun. There’s also a Gs25 or 7/11 around the corner for convenience. I definitely enjoyed my stay and will book here again for my next vacation in South Korea.
