Disliked: Cleanliness
The location really is convenient for everything you need or want. The air conditioning works really well. I noticed that there were bugs and places that needed to be cleaned. The bedding wasn't in good condition and the matress was very hard. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

Staff was helpful, this hotels strong point is the location which is considerably close to the Namdaemun market and to few subway stations.
The room was quite dark even with all the lights on.
A simple hotel, but I loved how easy it was to walk everywhere—restaurants, 7/11, trains, etc. It was quiet, felt safe, and while the room was basic, it was comfortable and cool when needed. The staff were friendly, and I have no complaints at all!

Stayed for 4 nights, good location, walk to myeondong, easy access to trains and busses. A lot of stores
It’s a small place to stay in but for the price it was very good. The beds were decent and bathroom not to bad. Good for a quick stay or don’t mind staying in a cheap cramped place for a long period for just sleep then it’s perfect. They freely supply extra needs and front desk workers were so nice and helpful.

it was just ok no daily housekeeping. you have to go back down to the info desk for towels and other essentials.
The rooms are small but very functional. Once you get last that, the location is convenient and the staff is very helpful.
The lack of window may throw people off, but you get used to it pretty quickly. Specially after a tiring day out!
Stains on both blanket and bed sheet, moldy shower curtain, AC not working properly, towels weren't clean.
However the staff was very kind and they do your laundry for free.

Could have been better if they could provide more clothes hangers. Had to ask for a mug as ther was only one for 2 guests. The staff member was reluctant to provide another mug. Staff member was grouchy and unfriendly.
Room was tight for a couple of people with luggages but it was manageable and OK for a few nights stay. Hotel is a little on the older side but room and bathroom were clean. Daily housekeeping not provided but they had clean towels for you to change out when needed. Our only problem was the AC didn't blow out any cold air and there was no way to change the temperature or speed so we mainly had it on to circulate air. Thank goodness it wasn't too hot when we visited Seoul or else the temperature in the room would have been unbearable. Hotel is located in an alleyway but I never felt unsafe and it was conveniently located close to the train station.
