What people say
The staff were very friendly. The older woman let me do my laundry in the basement and she made sure it was clean and dry for me, no charge. The room was spacious and confortable. They clean the room twice a day, which means they are constantly topping up the free items in the fridges and shower goodies. We stayed here for 2 weeks and we were very confortable with our stay. Would stay again. The gay district is just down the road so there are street markets with all kinds of yummy food an. all reviews »
Hotel is located in the Downtown area and only a block away from the Changdeokgung Royal Palace and very close to the Jongmyo Royal Shrine. The subway station is very close as well as the airport limousine bus stops (6011). The room was quite spacious with a big bathroom, but there was no shower curtain. They provide all necessary toiletries and a free bar (small coke, coffee and two bottles of water). There is also a coffee maker and tea and instant coffee are provided every day. There's .

The bathtub! There is nothing better than a nice warm bath after a day's walk in the city. This hotel is right next to the UNESCO palace and it's convenient to reach the 2 metro stations nearby.

Well situated making easy access to lots of great areas in Seoul. Nice and clean plus fairly modern style whilst basic. Massive TV plus a PC in room, although didn't manage to operate either in English as needed! Best feature was definitely the amazingly low price and great value.

Location,
Staff Helpfulness.
When we kept complaining of the room not being finished the check in guy
finally did it himself. Location is good but hard to find.
The hotel is quite close to the palace and a bank where we can withdraw the money easily.
Close to tourist areas, close to the subway, cheap and good cleaning.
great value for money, good location, Clean rooms,.
Next to metro train station.
No English spoken. Also, I had an unpleasant issue with a parking for my guest, but it was resolved successfully.
I like tea with milk. Breakfast meal provides coffee but no tea.
Room is quite small and it didn't have clothes closet, so you just
hang your clothes anywhere you want or just put them on the chair.
It's true that the staff didn't speak much English, but it's not a problem. We still made us clear and they understood well. I am sure their English is much better than my Korean!.
A pity the staff do not speak much English but we managed and they were
very helpful and let me leave my bag after I had checked out so I
didn't have to lug it round the sights.
Computer screen was broken upon arrival, but we got another room immediatly.
Quite tucked away and would have been difficult to find without instructions from my friend. Also, staff didn't speak a word of English, but managed to communicate as necessary using Korean phrasebook okay. Bathroom did not have a shower curtain, so had to be careful when showering or get whole room wet.
The placement of the air conditioner indoor unit directly above the bed
is a very bad idea -- whatever the settings are, it blows cold air down
at the sleeping people, so you cannot spend the night on the bed with
the air conditioner on without a risk of catching cold. At the same
time, it's very hot and humid in Seoul in summer, and the room is
very small, so turning off the air conditioner for the night makes the
room soggy, airless, and very uncomfortable to sleep in.
One receptionist was not that friendly no weighing scale to check the
weight of your luggage walking distance to many attractions around the
area but on your 3rd or fourth day, you will realize it is a bit far
from the subways stations breakfast is basic but its just an add-on.
Smoking room should have ventilator...
If not the room is just full of smoke.
No English speaker (but can live without them), did not have a laundry or at least we don't think so. Breakfast was weak, toast and jam. Should let people make their own breakfast.
Require full payment the moment I enter the door.
Hotel staff speaks very little English.
They can improve the breakfast.
The hotel is a bit difficult to find as first and staff speak very limited English.
Smoking is allowed in hotel rooms, and the smell of cigarettes could be very strong.
The breakfast provided needed to be improved. They only provided simple toast and coffee/tea. Additional eggs should be given as well.
Small towels.
There were no windows.
location is behind the big building so it will hard for others to locate it.
1) Receptionists unable to communicate in English. One of them (with
spec) always with 'sour' face, unfriendly and rude.
- poor English by the staff
- loud martial arts club near the hotel starting early in the morning
- difficult to find: the entrance is hidden- through a parking lot
- the hotel smells like cigarettes.
Slow wifi connecting, Location was a bit hard to find (at first).
- only one bathroom slippers provided for a couple
- no bathroom floor mat/towel
- location not updated in all maps I've read, (google, airport free maps, etc)
- breakfast not well clarified.
Air-conditioner blows straight towards the bed, so it's easy to catch cold.
Please note that air-conditioner is managed by all-in-one remote (two lower lines of buttons) with korean text on it, so you'll need to spend some time on investigation what buttons do what.
But those are minor issues, I really enjoyed this hotel.
How difficult it is to speak english with korean people.
a bit small room, no remote for airconditioning (basically you have to plug it out of the wall for it to stop working and than it gets too hot because of floor heating.
Breakfast.
Some cigarette smoke smell in the room + the room was pretty dark.
Not very clean. Room service was only making the bed but was not removing the trash from the room.
They did not check my ID when I checked in, just asked for money.
One day I came back to the hotel and noticed that my room door was open. Housekeeping did not shut the door and I had left my valuables in the room (there is no safe box in the room).
free breakfast time is very short.
No breakfast but walk 2 minutes to great coffee bar.Hard to adjust a/c either too hot or too cold.
Staff and breakfast was depressing.
Small rooms and cramped arrangement.
Our bed sheets had hair on them. Their was still someone's coffee
sitting on the table. The room needed to be cleaned. The refrigerator
had leftover food in it. Also half drank bottles of water.Unless there
isn't another option I would skip this hotel.
1. It is not easy to find the hotel at the first time.
2. Very small windows.
3. The AC blows the wind directly to the bed, which makes us sick after one night.
4. The bed is as hard as rock.
The toilet was plugged several times, one day we got a dirty bathrobe and the breakfast was served to early.
no English spoken.
Bed mattress is hard, hurt my back.
