Fantastic location, staff was so friendly and helpful, breakfast has a good selection. Only fault was that the room was FREEZING at night but overall for the price I would definitely stay here again
Second time I've been there, and I can tell you, definitely a good place to stay, very friendly and helpful staff, good size, good price, and good location, for people who's first time visiting Seoul myeong-dong is ideal
The breakfast was good as it provided a base meal for us during our stay each morning. We actually booked double bed deluxe room, but it turned out to be a single-sized bed. We stayed at RM 1110. This is a bit a disappointing.

Great location. Staff are friendly and they speak English and Japanese. Breakfasts were included.
The staff is very friendly especially Cho Joon Lee who works late night and the elderly man who guards the door early morning smiles and wave at me each time i walk out the door or come back. Most of all they respect your privacy. I will definitely stay here again upon my return to Korea.
Great accomodation for solo traveller or couple. Near myeong dong night market and train station as well. Convenient and walkable. Has decent breakfast but small dining area and can be crowded in the morning.
The location was perfect, right near two major subway lines and surrounded by great shopping. It’s ideal for anyone wanting to stay central on a budget. My room faced a busy street, so there was some noise, but it didn’t bother me much. The staff were very kind and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, a pleasant experience!
