Honestly the hotel is simply perfect. This was the last stop of my trip from Tokyo, Hakone, Osaka, Busan to Seoul, and this one was by far the best hotel. The collection is excellent, the staff friendliness and attention to details, the room, the atmosphere, the amenities, everything was excellent!

The stay is valuable, Hotel is located exit 4 in Sinchon station and 6002 bus stop, where are lots places to go. Price is very good in downtown Seoul. Room is clean and enough size.

self check-in and self check-out, but the location is very good! Easy to find, and the small kitchen has coffee machine and ice machine, the only thing is that the ice cubes are not enough, for late nights or early morning, it's empty. But in general, I love this place!!!!!

It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.

This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
