If you want to be in an area close to a bunch of cafes and places to do shopping during the day, this is the place to be. There is a subway station close by. It does get loud at night because a lot of people go to clubs in the area. However, like most of Korea, it is not an unsafe area to be even late at night. You probably won't want to hang out in your room because it is a bit dated, but if you need a cheaper, convenient option, this one is great! Also, the guy at the front desk was super kind even if he didn't speak English. :)
