It’s located in Seoul downtown just near the Cheonggye-cheon. The building is looking old but it’s clean and comfortable bed room. The very kind staff and cheap price. If I need to stay in downtown in Seoul. I can stay here another one night.

The property is conveniently located in the very center of all the tourist attractions which are a short walk or train ride away. But the room was terribly dirty, found a used condom on the floor between the bed and night table, along with a lot of trash underneath the beds

Don’t recommend here for your sanity.

Location is bad, I think it is located in the middle of ghetto. There were so much drunken people in front of the hotel. I did not feel safe, So I did early check out without any refund. Also the room was not ready when I get there 7:30 pm ish. The AC and lights did not work properly. Awful place in beautiful city.

Most uncomfortable bed out of all the beds we slept in the whole country of Korea. Smallest and thinnest mattress. Ancient immovable “stereo”(?) thing next to the bed, preventing even my arm from hanging off the bed. The whole 7th floor smelled of cigarette smoke, covered up with some scent. Small towels. Noisy jack hammer outside all night long. The best thing about this place was the free water in the lobby and the friendly/helpful front desk person. Neighborhood is under construction so I’m hopeful the hotel will clean up and get their act together in order to compete with the up and coming new businesses as this can be a good neighborhood in a year or two. Right next to the river walk and the subway.

空港に到着後、予定より早くホテルに到着しましたが、スタッフのご配慮でチェックイン時間前にもかかわらず、スムーズにチェックインさせていただきました。 受付にはお水が用意されており、1日1本無料でいただくことができます。また、電子レンジも設置されており、自由に利用できて便利でした。 立地も非常に良く、広蔵市場までは徒歩約10分、東大門のタッカンマリ通りへも歩いて行くことができました。バス停や地下鉄の駅も徒歩5分ほどとアクセスが良く、コンビニも近くにあります。 スタッフの中には日本語で対応してくださる方もおり、安心して滞在できました。 チェックアウト後も観光の予定があったため、11時のチェックアウト後から15時頃まで荷物を預かっていただけて、とても助かりました。 また韓国を訪れる際には、ぜひ利用したいと思います。

Det var inget utöver det vanliga, det var ett okej ställe att sova & bo på. Det som var illa var det faktum att sängkläderna (allt inkluderat) hade många fläckar på sig, och under sängarna var det väldigt smutsigt. Vidare så fick vi besök av kackerlackor i badrummet vid flera tillfällen (hittade 5 under cirka 2 veckors vistelse) vilket inte var så trevligt. Men hotellet var bekvämt, aningen utdaterad kanske men inget wow eller bä heller. Men bra service!
