It was cost friendly and staff was nice. Location was good too.
My reason for picking this hotel was its central location in Seoul as well as what another reviewer said about being able to store luggage for a few hours after checkout. I don't think the complimentary breakfast was listed in the amenities, but it should be!
Can't say we loved the whole bathroom being a shower room or the tiny sink with no counter space for toiletries, but what was there was clean.
Overall, the hotel was nice, though the room and especially the bathroom were quite small. The breakfast was good, and the location was superb, very close to tourist attractions, restaurants, and the airport limousine bus stop. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, which made the stay more enjoyable.
The staff were extremely helpful, and the property is centrally located near the subway station. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained, and the environment felt welcoming throughout our stay. We had an excellent stay at Simple Stay Hotel.

Good location, friendly and helpful staff, a clean room, nice breakfast. Some noise from the street with open window, but not too much. The room was a bit small for a family of three, but for one/two people on a budget it is a very good option to stay.
Excellent location with cafes and restaurants about a minute away. Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Area does get lively at night but we could not hear any noise from our room. Breakfast was very tasty and fresh.
It's a budget hotel..but the staff are A+. The included breakfast was tasty and plenty. Location is a gem...both in terms of walkability and public transport. Dining option are awesome.
The hotel is near by all important areas in the city, very accessible and easy to reach different places by subway, bus or walking
The staff was amazing, all of them very friendly doing the best effort so the language wasn’t an obstacle
