    Maintenance requires attention. Windows definitely need cleaning, cannot look out the window. Also walls need painting at minimum!

    Detail, Design and size of the room. All above the expectation

    It was a bit noisy, I could hear the people in the next room/floor/above me talking, or moving things in the middle of the night.

    Breakfast was good. The environmental soap was great, nice idea. Not far away from the subway station, good location. Good english at the reception.

    Interesting design, but controversial communication and renovation is needed
    • Leisure trip

    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Before check-in I've received a scary message from hotel that “guest will be required to present his own valid credit/debit card upon check-in along with a valid form of identification” and that “if the payment is done with a credit card belonging to another person who won’t be present at the hotel, we will need a written authorization send by the credit card holder...” etc. This message was sent literally three times! So I was quite nervous because at the end of the message they said “hotel reserves all rights to refuse the access of the room to any guests who are not able to show us the credit”. At the end of the day everything was good at the check-in, but those messages left a bad aftertaste. And hotels needs renovation. Shower door wasn't closing. And owners should check towels and get rid of torn ones (see photos). You should be aware that the street near the hotel is quite noisy. It was not a problem for me, but cars are heard clearly even when the window is closed. The funny thing is toilet. It flushes by its self and since shower door is not closing properly, it flushed from splashes when you shower — what a waste of water!

    Controversial hotel. On the one hand the design is interesting and the price was ok (I've got last minute discount). On the other hand hotel requires renovation and I've received a really strange message from hotel before the check-in (see the second part of the review).

    Asked for vegan breakfast. But was denied at the first attempt. On persistent requests they could arrange the same thing everyday. So, I skipped the breakfast they offered. When the booking was made, it said "Pay at property". However, they wanted to charge a prepayment on my credit card a week prior to my check in. This does not particularly qualify for "Pay at property" as per my understanding.

    Majority of the hotel personnel on the reception knows English on a very basic level. Also I could not use hotel cafeteria after 10 pm, though I needed just a chair and a table to work, no service was needed. Also kids room was inaccessible, though receptionists could simply open it for us, but refused to do so. I would suggest you to democratize the rules for guests to feel more “as at home”.

    the hotel has a uniques and very stylish design - it was a pleasure to get back there after a busy day. Nice music in the reception. Good food. Friendly staff.

    I understand Korea’s style of using comforters all year round, however I wish a thin blanket was an option as it’s too cold to really use the air con but too hot for the comforter provided. I also wish the light switches were labeled better.

    Overall the facility was nice and clean. The room was in good shape and everything inside it worked.

    The place is great. It is just a bit too far from the city. I didn't realize how big Seoul was until I got there. The metro station only accepts cash to pay for the ticket but you can get a travel card from 7 eleven and top it up in there too so like that you can pay by card. The reception is in the basement and they also have a coffee shop there and the restaurant is on the 9th floor. The soaps are soap bar, shampoo bar and conditioner bar which is kind of weird but for the people who want to save the planet from plastic will 100% adore this. You can buy from their shop extra things you need but they do change the towels daily.

    I had enjoyed the breakfast served in the restaurant on the 9th floor when I had stayed there several times before, and I was looking forward to it, but this time the breakfast was served in the cafe in the basement, and although it was delicious, that was my only disappointment.

    The staff were all very welcoming and helpful, which made me very happy!

    The front desk is in the below 1st floor. I wish it was located on the first floor. You can hear many cars from the room because the hotel is right next to the street.

    I upgraded my room and I love the size. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room has a big window and a nice view of the city. I also like the cleanliness of the room and the bathroom. Their cafe is neat and spacious.

    Can’t name one thing. Everything was to our liking.

    Literally everything. Staff was extremely friendly and ready to help(unfortunately I don’t remember the name of the staff that helped us with taxi but she was really open and been an extremely good help for us), the room was comfortable and clean, especially beds. Bathroom was clean and nice. Everything was perfectly in order.

    - Very alarming and sketchy way of charging client's bank cards! I have been charged at least 4 times, some of these were accidental, and even though I have paid when making the booking, that was cancelled on arrival and I was charged again. BE AWARE!!! - Staff is not really up to standard. One time toilet got clogged, and the person unclogging it left the toilet and the whole bathroom swimming in toilet water, basically leaving us to clean it up - Very stingy hotel. They are trying to save money on toilet rolls, soaps, etc., even if you stay longer (we stayed for almost 2 weeks) - Staff was antagonistic at every turn, telling us millions of time the hotel is non-smoking (even after repeatedly telling them that we DO NOT smoke), untrustworthy with the iron, etc.

    - The location is great, has a good connection to basically everywhere in the city - It has almost all of the basic stuff needed (bed, window, toilet, etc.) - Outside the hotel looks presentable
