"Friendly staff and housekeepers and comfy bed. For me I would've liked there to be a wall mirror outside the bathroom, the only mirror in the room was in the bathroom. Great location next to Myeongdong shopping area and night market. Also next door to 7-Eleven and GS25 convenience stores."

"This place is very clean and the staff is super friendly! I really like that their room doors are keyless - they use codes here instead which I think is safer. The bathroom and room were all super clean and the hotel is quite quaint. It’s a short walk to the Euljiro 3 train station and it’s in a pretty good area - I felt comfortable walking around at night. Overall, great experience!"
