    Maybe just the noise from the restaurants and the small towel.

    I liked that it was close to restaurants and transportation. The air conditioning was so good. Free use of the washing machine and dryer.

    Very small room and bathroom. There was not much ventilation and everyrhing gets wet. Matress was very tough. We heard the sounds from the street and from other rooms.

    Perfect location. Close to the subway and to other interesting spots. Free washing machine.

    doesn‘t look like on the picture, no view from the window, just a wall… shower is open so everything gets wet in the bath/toilet. but you get used to it :)

    the location is great, very cool street. even though it’s a night out- area it was still calm in the night. wash mashine and dryer are fast and efficient, the reception always responds quickly on whatsapp

    Bring your earplugs, because music from the street will keep playing till the morning ( maybe 4a.m.). We always have earplugs, so it wasn't such a big issue for us. Also, take notice that the ahower is the whole bathroom, there is no separated shower area:D But that was not a big problem, cause the floor dries during the night.

    The room was clean and cosy. The location is super convenient:)

    Top Location - but really loud from the street

    Unfortunately the windows are bad and you hear all the noise & music from the street. It feels like sleeping on a festival - bring earplugs!! And the rooms are really small, the double room barely fitted two suitcases and tall people may not fit in the bed. The floor in front of the room was not well cleaned.

    The location is really good, so many things and tourist attractions are in walking distance! The hotel is in a busy neighborhood with many restaurants & bars in front of the hotel. Check in was easy, staff is really nice and filtered water is provided.

    Not really a family place. No parking to be found other than the road and that's really not that good

    Definitely In the middle of a place that has many bars and restaurants. Many places to hang out with friends.

    Bath towels were not provided. Just a lot of hand towels. No house keeping. So cleaning needs to be handled by the guest. Check out time is at 11.

    Excellent Location. Jonggak station is just a minute away. Multiple restaurants and cafes. Although the area can get very loud at nights, you don't hear a thing while in the rooms.

    They only thing was the sealing on the windows seems to be breaking down so on rainy days water would leak in and it caused the room to have a mildewy cent but the room was still wonderful and the giant window facing the busy streets was so cool!

    The staff were super kind and helpful. They let us leave our bags for the day before we could check in because we got there so early :) fun location near lots of food and walking distance to so many attractions!

    It would be perfect if they could provide the housekeeping service especially for long stay. But they gave us new towels and beddings when we asked, but we have to change the beddings by ourselves.

    Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms. All of the people are incredibly helpful and generous with their time and advice. The location is superb, super close to Jonggak station and it is flat ground. There is elevator so this is really a plus. They provided vacuum cleaner, washing machine and dryer, ironing facility, water dispenser and microwave at common areas. They also provide space to keep luggages and a scale! There are a lot of shops and convenience stores nearby, even Olive Young is just around the corner! Thanks for making our visit in Korea much better.

    The room unfortunately is a little small; we had two big luggages and we had barely space to walk in the room when we opened them in the room. The bed also wasn't the most comfortable bed.

    This hotel is run by the loveliest people. They are so helpful, kind, and considerate. The location couldn't be better, very close to the major public transportation and to the touristic areas.

    They kept trying to make me add them on a chat app, but I was not worried about not being able to find it. I arrived after 10 pm and there was nobody there and my card was put in a safety box and they emailed me the codes. It wasn't a problem, but I was not expecting to check myself in, haha. There were also no water bottles or kettle in the room, which was a first in Korea for me; even rooms half the price usually give those things. They did have a water machine and a microwave in the common room though.

    I came to seoul for a business trip and was also seeing a show over by the palace so I needed a cheap place to stay by myself within walking distance of that. This worked. The room was cleaner than I expected from the area. There were plenty of restaurants and mini-marts and cafes nearby.

    A cute little pink room to sleep and wash your clothes.
    • Leisure trip

    • Standard Triple Room

    The beds are very hot, I think its because of the matress protector? But the beds/bedding are very standard, which is I guess reflects the price they charge. You get what you pay for, which is fair. I understand the rooms are small, but there is not much storage or surfaces to place your things. A small shelf next to the beds would be nice, and some more hooks/hangers on the bare walls, i feel like this might make the space better. *although, there are fold out tables/chairs in the hallway if needed, so this is a good solution. For some reason the tv volume wouldnt go below 32 haha No conditioner in bathroom. Not much natural light in room 604.

    Very friendly and helpful staff are always quick to reply on KakaoTalk. The washer/dryer very handy. Cool/hot filtered water available. The room fit a double and large single bed. I like the plugs next to each bed. And the pink aesthetic is very cute. There was an issue with our bathroom but the owners were very quick to fix the problem and provided a solution while we were waiting for it to be fixed. Also very very greatful for how accomodating the owners were to let us check in early after over 24hrs of travelling. They provide a Manual which is very informative with directions and attractions nearby. The location is great, close to Jong-gak trainstation, the street comes alive at night and theres The Avenue of Youth is pretty cool and the Cheongyechong stream is a 2minute walk away. So many seoul attractions are nearby within 20minutes or less of walking. We had a good time at MJ Stays.

    Not that I didnt like, just something to keep in mind The area is quite crowded and full of bars so expect some noises on weekends. I am not sensitive to noises but ppl who are should keep this in mind. You will not have room clean for the entire stay. And have to separate gabbage on your own.

    - The location is strategic. 2-3mins of walk to bus/train station. The whole area is very central, close to all attractions. We went home at 1am in the morning and it's still crowded, very safe area to walk around - the host is welcoming and quick to communicate. They welcomed us with smiles - The room is very good. Comfortable. We can have 4 small luggages opened at the same time. Good for 2 ppl. - The bathroom is good for an accomdation of such, spacious, has all toiletries you need. - The room is clean, basic ammenities. Happy with it.

    All good, only tiny thing is that the duvet was incredibly warm - but I guess in winter this would be a good thing!

    Incredible location - right in one of the liveliest parts of Seoul. Step out the door and you've literally got 100s of restaurants, bars to explore. So much life! Yet, not too noisy. Also very near metro stop. Small but well-equipped room. Incredible value, especially for this location. Staff were really helpful before our arrival, sent a really detailed information book. They're not always around the hotel itself but are easy to reach online (whatsapp etc) and speak good English.
