Great stay for 3 days!
Great stay in a quiet and narrow street but close to many restaurants and metro/tube station. The Main Street is busy at night each day but cannot be heard from the rooms. Breakfast is free and fine for western travellers (coffee, toast, fruit).

Very comfortable hotel in old Seoul
Very comfortable hotel based in strategic position of old Seoul. The hotel is based just 10 min by foot from subway line 1 and 3, close to hundred of mini market and restaurants. Nice location for tourists but the room are comfortable even for people like me that visit for Business. Wifi in the room is very good. The hotel declares no breakfast included but actually they offer every morning a nice selection of salad, egg, bread, fruits, jam, juice and coffee.

Boutique hotel in quite ally. Super close to public transportation or walk to almost all touristic attractions, as it’s located in the middle of everything. Modern style easygoing and accessible stuff, clean and super convenient. Rooms are super small though so if you are looking for spending time in your room maybe not right place for you. Otherwise, highly recommending! Would stay here again!

The hotel is a few minute walk to the bus and metro station. When I checked out I could leave the suitcases at the hotel. The staff were really helpful! When I asked if they had a space to freshen up, they gave me a key to a room! All credits to the staff. I could really recommend staying there!

Very convenient area with lots of restaurants and convenience store, including an Olive Young, around the hotel. Less than 5 mins walk to Train and Bus stations. 1 bus ride away from Incheon Airport. Close to Tapgol Park and Jewelry shops around Jung-no area. Few blocks away from Myeongdong. Hotel room is well kept with free simple breakfast, daily water bottle refill. Just bring your own toothbrush. I’d definitely book this hotel again.

Has excellent location to major trainsport, and attractions. However, no view and not the cleanest place I have been to if that is an issue. But still servicable all around and you get what you get for the price point.

My first time staying in South Korea and this is the hotel I came across! Didn’t know what to expect but our stay had just what we needed. Air conditioning worked great, water ran well in the bathrooms, hotel was clean, bottled water was refilled when we requested room service and room was cleaned nicely. We ubered everywhere and it was easily accessible for them to drop us off near the hotel. It’s a short walk to a lot of wonderful places as well! We enjoyed our stay! (I will add the room was a bit small for the luggage we had but we made it work ◡̈ ) thank you for letting us stay here! - Miya Perdon from Texas!
