The location was really good! A short walk from Sinchon station or Seogang-dae station. The hostel sent an email a few days before my stay and the directions were very helpful. For this price, I think it was a very good value! It was very cold when I was in Seoul (-4°C to 1°C) but the room was always warm with heated floor and heated bed. The room size was just nice for a solo traveller, with a window for natural light. There is no daily cleaning but it's okay as we can collect towels and other amentities freely at the common area.

Good hotel. Not luxurious or anything but for the price it’s a good option for young folk. In 25 minutes you can be in Hongdea for the nightlife and shops. Also meyeondong is doable.

It seems like it has been under recontructed or something but the lobby was a bit smelly when i did the check-in. I have to use the door on the side. My room type is supposed to have a window but it is just a woodeb board been put up to cover where the window should be. However, it is not fully covered so I could feel the wind at night. The location is great for the price.

⭐︎Good points
The heated floor was great.
The bed was big and comfortable.
The toilet and shower had a partition, which was nice.
The art on the wall was stylish and lovely.
It was worth the price, and I'd like to stay here again.
⭐︎Points to improve
It takes a few minutes for the hot water to come out.
It gets very hot over time, and it's a little difficult to adjust the temperature.
On the first day, I was woken up several times by the noise from the next room from 1am. The walls may be thin.
I hope they will set some hotel rules and make sure everyone follows them.

Quiet, comfortable, and in a quiet location in a busy city!
The most important thing is that it is very cost-effective and self-service!
It is especially suitable for i people~ There is no problem with hygiene, and don't ask for too much facilities. After all, the price is cheap, but there are so many! Nothing is missing~ The surrounding area is very quiet, and there are many motels~

The accommodation is conveniently located. Take the bus from the airport and get off at Sinchon stop after Hongik stop, then walk for about 5 minutes. I recommend walking the other way that is not on the slope because the slope is very high. On the way there, I didn't know, I almost died, but when I saw the other way, it was very easy. When you arrive before check-in, you can leave your bags. The caretakers are very friendly, both men and women. They speak English. But when I went, the elevator was broken. Fortunately, the caretaker carried the bags up to the front of the room, which was on the 6th floor (but counted, it was about 4 floors). It was tiring. When I arrived on Friday, the elevator was actually repaired on Monday. I walked up until I was discouraged. 555555 Next to it is GS25. I bought a lot of food to eat. The area is convenient for traveling. We came from the NCT Dream concert in Gocheok. On the way there, I took the subway. It's not far to walk up. On the way back, I returned at 11 pm. I took the bus and got off at the stop right at Sinchon. It was very convenient. The hotel provides towels every day. When you're done, put them in the basket on the lobby floor. There is a microwave, toothbrush, toothpaste, and garbage bags. The room has a hair dryer, TV, refrigerator, and slippers. The room is quite spacious. You can open 2 suitcases, but it's a bit cramped. The air conditioning in the room is a bit strange. You press the button to turn it on but it's off. Press the button to turn it off but it's on. It's not very cool according to the temperature, but it's okay. I went in winter anyway. If I go to Korea, I might go back to stay there again. The price is good too. (Opposite is a construction site, but I didn't hear any noise. It's probably because I left early and returned late at night. But at night, it's safe.)

The environment and location are very good. It's also close to the subway. It only takes 10 minutes to walk. GS25 is next door to the hotel 👍👍👍
Toiletries are available in the lobby if needed!
The girl at the counter is super nice, can speak Chinese and is polite! He went out of his way to help the two of us 🤣! Also helped order delivery🥳🥳
I will definitely come here again next time I come to Korea!

Because there is construction opposite the hotel, mosquitoes and noise are unbearable. The boss was easy to communicate with and promised a full refund. If I have the chance, I will try it again after the construction is completed.

The front desk and the room are not together. The front desk is on the left side of the first picture. The room is close to the door in the first picture. The front desk lady who speaks Chinese is very attentive. Toiletries can be taken on the first floor, and there is also hot water available on the first floor. The toilet I stayed in was separated into dry and wet areas, so you need to bring your own conversion head. There is Wi-Fi in the room, and the water in the refrigerator in the room is free to drink. There are also hair dryers and hangers. Although the sparrow is small, it is complete. But there are no disposable slippers.

The location of the hotel is very convenient, only 3 minutes from the subway station. The room is comfortable and air-conditioned, and toiletries are provided. There is a convenience store downstairs, and the price-performance ratio is very high.
