Pretty good overall, especially for the price! Looks a lot fancier in the pictures than it really is seeing it in person I think, but that's not to say it isn't nice or that here's anything wrong with it per se, just a bit tired in places. Fine for a reasonably nice room to sleep in for a few nights without being too expensive. Comfortable and nicely decorated. A/C was very good, strong and powerful, with full control over an individual unit unlike the placebo wall panels you some times get in larger/fancier hotels. Breakfast was very basic, very limited choice in some little basement room, but it was free so meh. Better than nothing and again value for money to be included for the price so can't complain too much I chose the "please empty bins and replace bottled water etc every day" option on check in, rather than unnecessary changing sheets & towels every day for my 3 night stay and wasting energy/water, a nice eco idea. However, one day they didn't do this at all, so I had no fresh bottled water for the next day of sightseeing. No biggie (I'm ok with the tap water) but might bother some if you were relying on it. Again I'm kinda complaining about a free perk so perhaps a bit picky of me but it's a review after all! To finish on a positive, the location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic. Smack bang in the middle of a busy eating/drinking area with lots of pub/bars, restaurants and street vendors. But tucked away in a side street so I never though it was noisy. Ace!

The property is small but very clean.Bed is comfortable. Rooms are small but has all the amenities and quite comfortable. The staff is friendly. Location is close to subway and Korean market. The hotel is tucked in a side lane and off a very busy street. This location is walkable distance from palaces. You walk through the art street which is quite cool. I would stay there again.

I stayed there for two nights. The area is conveniently located to various sightseeing areas. This hotel seems to be surrounded by socalled love hotel and may be one of them , too. The hotel is well updated. The floor is all marvel and the bed was exceptionally comfort, although the comforter I used may have not been washed after someone used it. Don't expect too much for the free breakfast unless you like instant ramen very much. The staff were kind but they didn't know where the airport shuttle stops.

Great little hotel in a good location. A couple of fixtures could do with fixing - like the tap in the room (it was a little wobbly). But the room was nice, bed was very comfy and the staff were helpful.

It is a new building the interior is black and depressing. The room was small and no place to put suitcases we had four large ones. The bed was every soft. Location was hard to get to we had ten cab rides and not one was able to get to entrance. The area is very busy.

The hotel and room was a little bit of a challenge to find. But the location is very close to the subway station and there are several things to see and do all with in walking distance. Clean and quiet. We had a wonderful stay and felt very safe.

It's great place. The location is so convenient in busy area but the hotel building is very quiet. Convenient to access almost anywhere include subway stations, it is walkable as well. There room is very small but quality room and clean, compare with the prices and the location and quality, it’s very valuable. Stuffs are very friendly and helpful. It’s awesome experience there.

ローカル好きには良いです。
鐘路３街駅から近く、歩いて仁寺洞や益善洞韓屋通り、北村韓屋村に行くことができ、飲食店も多くロケーションは大変よかったです。 ホテルの清潔感は低く、日本でのホテルの在り方は覆されるのでご注意ください。 埃、髪の毛、韓国旅行10回以上経験者、韓国びいきとして目をつぶりました。布団に付着した血を見つけたのはチェックアウト日でしたので、、、見ないふりをしました。掃除をする人が完全に手抜きをしていると見えます。 自分で掃除して環境を整えれば、自分の部屋にように快適に過ごせました。 ベッドが大きく、ウレタンマットのようで、よく眠れました。(それで、他のことは目をつぶりました) 同価格帯の日系ビジネスホテルと比較すればロケーションがよく、部屋が広さが2倍以上なので、こちらのホテルを選択してよかったとは思います。ローカル好きでない方、年配者の場合は倍の部屋代を出して他のホテルをオススメします。

2泊３日で利用しました。 スタッフの方は親切で、プレミアムダブルルームのお部屋を予約しましたが、シャワールームと別に浴槽がありと日本人には嬉しい設備でした。 どれも申し分なかったのですが、ただ一つ歯ブラシや洗顔フォーム、カミソリなどのアニメティがあれば100点満点だったかなと思いました。 またご利用したく思います。 ありがとうございました。

員工不會說英文，遇到問題不會幫你解決。一開始遇到溫度問題覺得暖氣太熱，問佢哋房有沒有裝冷氣，佢答我no air conditioner ,我最後自己發現原來係有冷氣可以開！然後洗手盤係塞嘅，連個廁所都塞埋搵佢搞，佢話一陣上黎 點知3個鐘，打電話落前枱沒有人聽， 我落到樓下見到前枱有人，擺明故意不聽！ 泊車又話免費，我見有免費泊車先book ，點知去到話5日要收5萬韓元！服務態度很一般

초등학생 아들과 서울 여행 가서 하루 묵었어요. 7층에 묵었는데 바깥 소음 없었고 옆방 소음도 없고 조용했어요. 욕조도 있어서 아들이랑 따뜻한 물에 몸 담그고 아이스크림 먹으니 좋네요ㅎㅎ 프론트 직원분도 친절했어요. 잘 묵고 갑니다^^

鐘路3街駅から近い。 ホテルも新しく、綺麗でした。 ●良かったところ ・バスタブとシャワールーム、トイレが別なので嬉しい。 ・YouTubeとNetflixが見られる。 ・コーヒーメーカーがフロントにある。 ・ヘアアイロンがある。 ●悪かったところ ・洗面台が狭いので、洗顔がしづらい。 ・ハンドソープが無かった。 新しいこともあり、観光客向けのホテルというよりは、現地の方向けの印象。英語は一応通じます。 いわゆる、ザ・ホテルとは違うので、旅慣れてる方向けの印象です。 宿泊前色々ありましたが、追加人数も受け入れてくださり、全体としては良いホテルでした。
