The room was small, but had everything we needed. The host, Amy was very nice. It has a bus station and metro station in 5 minutes away, so it was easy to go somewhere by public transport. Also there are several shops nearby.

The location! It’s right by the shopping district Myeongdong but it’s on the quiet side (great for sleeping). Also walking distance to the cable car to visit N Seoul tower. We never took public transit from this location. The property is clean and it has all the comforts of home that you want. There was toast, fruit and instant noodles for breakfast (coffee, water filter, and juice). There was also laundry - washer and dryer. We had a room with 3 beds - in the photos it looked like the may have been in separate spaces but it was one big room. Bathroom and room were spacious. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend.

    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.
