9.4/10
Amazing
GGuest UserI was able to check in early at 9:30 PM and even got a free room upgrade! The room was super clean. There's a coffee machine on the first floor and a water dispenser with an ice maker, which saved me money on coffee in the mornings. The location is incredibly convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Sinchon Exit 4. There are many popular trendy spots around Sinchon that often have queues, and there's also a Shinsegae Department Store and E-mart supermarket nearby.

GGuest UserExtremely well located, and despite its central location in the heart of Myeongdong and being close to the subway, it was very quiet at night. Check in took a while as the reception takes every guest personally to their own rooms to give a thorough explanation of services and amenities. I was worried I’d be cold in the room but the heating is excellent - quiet and efficient. Breakfast is self serve - you cook your own eggs and make your own toast and cereal. The microwave and pantry was greet for late night noodles and snacks! Lots of convenience stores, restaurants and shops nearby - you can eat and shop till you drop! A great stay and I will definitely be back again. Thank you Ara125!

GGuest UserAlthough check-in was late, I was able to store my luggage and didn't mind the late return. Since it was a premium room, I was glad to have a bathtub, but when I drained it, the water flowed all the way to the toilet, so I only used the shower the next day. The toilet paper was flushable.
Unusually for Korea, I received a bag with a toothbrush and amenities at check-in. Yeongdeungpo Station is about 10 minutes away, and Yeongdeungpo Market Station is just under 10 minutes, but the bus stop is close by, making bus travel easy. It's right off the main street, so I wasn't scared even late at night.

MMisa93The location is good if you want peace, since it's close to Bukhansan National Park and not city centre. The room is very spacious, but the cleanliness was so-so. I found someone's hair on the bedside table, and the tiles in the bathroom weren't very clean. I guess it's what you get for the price. If you're a budget traveller, it's a good choice, if you want something more, look for other places. But the view was amazing.

GGuest UserThis hotel is only an 8-minute walk from Ewha Womans University subway station and just one stop away from Hongdae. The facilities are basic but clean, and the staff are very friendly. Getting to the airport is also convenient; you can buy tickets directly at Ewha Womans University station, take one stop to Hongdae, and then transfer to the airport express line for a direct ride to the airport. The hotel is also affordable, making it a highly recommended choice.

GGuest UserThe hotel's location is truly excellent. It's just a few minutes' walk to the MRT station, and there are plenty of food options and convenience stores nearby.
However, the air conditioning unit in the room couldn't provide heating. In spring, when the weather fluctuates so much, heating is actually quite necessary.
Also, both the duvet and sheets had stains on them. I hope they check them after washing before making the bed, as the stains were very obvious.

GGuest UserIt was nice that they let us take one drink per person, and the room was spacious and clean, which was nice😍 The staff were all very friendly! It was such a great experience that my Japanese friend said he wanted to stay here again when he comes to Korea❤️ I'm glad you made good memories.

MmunimunitantanThe room looks exactly like the pictures. The bed was really comfortable and clean, with no strange smells (housekeeping came daily to clean and empty the bins). The bathroom was spacious, making for a pleasant shower experience. We chose a quad room, and there was enough space to spread out my luggage. There are also lockers for valuables, but you need to bring your own padlock. The accommodation is on the third floor with no elevator, so it's a bit of a struggle if you have large luggage like I did. Also, the beds don't have curtains, which can make you feel a bit exposed. Since the room is small, any noise, like using the toilet in the middle of the night, is amplified, and I worried about disturbing others. However, for the price, I'm very satisfied! No complaints at all!
5.7/10
Mmoo257It's only two minutes' walk from the nearest station and has excellent access.
There is a convenience store right next to the hotel, and there are 24-hour restaurants nearby, so it's convenient.
A refrigerator, dryer, and smartphone charger are provided in the room.(i-phone&type-c only)
If there is no staff at the front desk when you check in, you will need to obtain your room number using sns.
As others have written, the cleaning situation leaves room for improvement.
However, you will be able to stay at a very reasonable price, so I think it would be a good idea to bring slippers and other things to make up for the parts of the floor that are not well cleaned.
