Chin Chin house is one of my unforgettable hotel, especially during the CNY in -20 degree, it’s 15 mins from Hong dai University station, I treasure the time I walk back, so quiet and so many interesting shops! I stay there for 5 days, just like a home away from home, I can cook my own breakfast and have a coffee in the beautiful architect lounge! Very warm and heart warming in this Korea winter! I definitely recommend you to enjoy this comfortable and happiness place! 😀

There were reviews with high praise and some negative ones, making it hard to decide. The result was a very satisfying trip. The front desk was friendly, and the room with its white sheet covers was very clean and warm. The second-floor lounge was even more comfortable than home. The paintings in the room and living room were modern and had a unique charm. Dining at the dumpling and soup restaurant run by the owner was an excellent experience at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

The Perfect Haven in Seoul, Complete with Friendly Service and Spotless Rooms My stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful. Having lodged here last January and returned, it's clear this spot keeps drawing me back. The room was spotless, with particularly pristine bedding which ensured a super comfy night. Its quiet location made it the perfect spot to unwind. The beef soup and dumplings served at the North Korean restaurant right at the alley’s entrance were top-notch. Kit, the front desk officer from Hong Kong, was immensely friendly and fluent in English, making communication a breeze. With its reasonable prices and excellent service, I've firmly decided to stay here whenever I'm in Seoul. It feels like I've found my own little haven, much like something out of The Guardian's travel pages. Highly recommend!

レイトチェックインにも対応してくださり感謝しています。暖かく歓迎していただきました。私は小さなスーツケースだったので荷物を持って階段を上がれましたが大荷物だと大変かもしれません。スケジュールの都合で無料のお食事をいただけなかったので次は食べたいと思います。また利用させていただきます。

The staff is friendly and they speak good English. We were originally placed in the third floor but the stairs were icy and we almost slipped (no elevator). They accommodated us with a 2nd floor room, but the ceiling was leaking. The ceiling above the bed looked moldy.

숙소 내부를 리모델링 한 듯한데 현관문 들어가자마자 곰팡이 냄새가 진동을 하길래 보니 주방과 화장실에 곰팡이가 한가득 있네요. 제 생각에 집이 오래되어 단열이 안 좋아서 겨울철 결로 때문인것 같습니다. 이 부분은 개선이 필요합니다. 이런 곰팡이 가득한 곳에서 다시는 자고싶지 않아요.

Chambre calme et accueil très satisfaisant mais plusieurs point négatifs: traces profondes d’humidité au plafond, prise au dessus du lavabo qui pend et simplement maintenu par les fils, robinet lavabo rafistolé, de plus il fuit en permanence. Effectivement le tarif est assez bas mais ces défauts pourraient être aisément améliorés
