Property was very outdated. Escalator was sketchy and old. Bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. We didn’t feel safe so we moved hotels after the first day. I don’t recommend this place especially with family. Thankfully staff understood and allowed refund.

Dongdaemun Historical Park makes up for the room
Our room had a less than stellar view of the flea market, but it was within walking distance of some of the areas attractions which made up for it. Our bathroom floor was drenched every time a shower was taken. Not sure why they don't have, at least, some cheap shower curtains up. Aside from those complaints, it was a nice stay for a couple of nights. Nothing amazing, and nothing horrible.

Good location, but that's all.
I was incredibly disappointed by this hotel. I reserved a non-smoking room with a view. The room that I was presented with was a smoking room with a view of a parking lot. Also, the room was dirty: from the room service menu to the bathroom. I would not recommend this to a friend.
