It may sound dumb, but I was not able to easily find how to turn off the lights. Also, they don't offer toothpaste or toothbrush. Besides that, everything ok.

It was good value for the area. It is an older hotel, but staff were always friendly and helpful, thus made up for the age and condition of the hotel.

The hotel is located at a corner between the Seoul City Hall and to various establishments. Very near to all amazing restaurants and cafes. There are convenient stores like 7-eleven & American fast food chain like McDonald’s, coffee bean, and Starbucks within the perimeter of the hotel. Will come back and highly recommended to everyone who would be traveling to Seoul Korea.

High price / satisfaction hotel
Hotel still under renovation but no disturbance to us. The room facilities are new and comfortable. The front-desk staff are nice and helpful. The location is convenient. It is a good price / satisfaction ratio hotel. However it will be excellent if the supply of hot water is stable!

It located at downtown in Seoul. Easy to find and very clean condition of the room and bathroom. The staffs were very kind and easy to keep my bicycle. A little tiny room but I didn’t care cause I was alone. It was reasonable price however it’s in the middle of the downtown in Seoul. Wanna stay here one more time if I visit in Seoul.

The room was spacious but dated. We arrived 15-30 min before check-in and the front desk still made us wait until 3pm to check us in even though the rooms were likely ready. I paid more on expedia for our room that our travel companions who booked on a different site so I was disappointed that we got the exact same room for a significantly more.

The hotel is located a few minutes from MRT station. The hotel offers to keep luggage even the day before the stay. Wifi connection, bed conditions, shower are good. Shower toilet is available, but written in Korean. Shopping and meal options are around the hotel within walking distance. This hotel is under renovation, so depending on rooms, the facility may differ. I stayed 2 nights with different reservations. Depending on room types, there are quite different. Overall, I can consider this hotel as staying again.
