The hotel is definitely older than the pictures shown on site. However it is worth mentioning the room is spacious and clean. Wish they have bath tub in suite.
convenient location. had to pay for water. very honest staff. left my rings and they contacted me right away and sent my rings to my hotel in seoul. hotel room is spacious and very clean. small windows - not good if you are claustrophobic. the tea is good too.

Good location, otherwise nothing impressive.
The rooms are old and outdated.
It's on the border of Myeongdong shopping area, so it is walking distance to some of the attractions like Namsan cable car, Cheonggyecheon stream and of course Myeongdong shopping and night food market.
The cleaning lady is really nice.

Not ideal budget hotel
Hotel entrance is on a hill that makes check-in challenging with luggage. Greeted by a front desk employee who's favorite word was "no". Booked two rooms together, but were on separate floors. One room door did not close correctly, it kept hitting the closest wall. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Free wi-fi inside room but drops once you enter hallway. Hallways had weird slopes in sections, but weren't in same spots on different floors. Zero food available within the hotel, restaurant was either on holiday or gone out of business. Won't consider staying here again.
close to all shopping, transportation (bus/train/airport bus/taxis). very convenient just let the cab drop you at the corner and not at the uphill part especially if you have a lot of luggage.
our hotel tv remote did not work but staff fixed it after - regular tv stations. no cable, no airplay, no subtitles.
2 water bottles a day - Yey!
rooftop is very nice with a view of the seoul tower. however not accessible if you have a disability as the elevator only goes to the 7th floor and a steep stair to the rooftop (8th floor)
small washer/drier at 5000 won/wash
clean hotel- quiet even though they said there’s construction happening - never heard construction noise but you will hear next room if they are loud.
Hotel is clean and spacious- we had 2 large suitcases and 2 carryons and still have room.
