Highly Recommend! 1. The staff are super friendly, and they can communicate very well in both English and Mandarin. 2. The location is excellent, perfect for coffee hopping during the day and enjoying Pojangmacha at night. It’s also very convenient for transportation since you can easily access Subway Lines #1, #3, and #5. Tip: take the Exit 8 elevator, it’s the fastest way down to the subway platform. 3. The room is cozy, clean, and quiet, making it a comfortable place to rest after a full day out.

    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.
