Quick and easy check in. Will need to contact their number if arriving after 10pm. Room comes with basic amenities of water, toothbrush, soap, tv, and wifi. Lots of attractions in walking distance or through public transportation. Would consider a future stay.

The location was good, but the conditions, facilities, and on-site services are more like a hostel than a hotel. The price is very affordable, but guests should come with hostel-level expectations. Our shower drain clogged on the third day and flooded every time we used it afterward. There was no staff on-site after 5 PM, which is not what I expect from a “hotel” service.

The room is tided every day with fresh water provided, and the bed was super comfy. Its an unmanned hotel, which has an easy checkin/check out screen in the lobby. The cleaning staff are very friendly. The hotel is a 3 minute walk to the train station, a 10 minute walk to the Cheonggyecheon stream, which if followed takes you to the palace. Its a perfect location for the markets, shopping malls and the old city wall with beautiful views of the city. The street the hotel is located in is a little run down but very safe with a convenience store and pharmacy at either end. I recommend venturing out to the Dongdaeman area to eat locally. The hotel was a perfect location, and i would recommend it to those who are either going to Seoul for the first time or the seasoned traveller.

The room was clean and the location is very good. Everything beautiful, but some extra maintenance would help. There is nobody at reception and when I tried to call the phone number at night nobody answered. Neither they called me back next day.

Clean, quiet and perfect location!

It's a self check in, compact and affordable hotel right smack in the city. Walking distance to many eateries, pharmacies, cafes and subway stations. Dongdaemun is also walkable if you fancy exploring the city by foot. Housekeeping ahjumma will be around in the morning cleaning rooms. She can speak a little Mandarin and we communicated roughly because my ac was on heater mode and it was summer. She was helpful and warm during the interaction. Overall, I thought it was a good location for a solo traveller. The environment is not as sleazy as people say it to be. Overall, the property is new and I truly enjoyed my stay here.

This hotel doesn’t have staff or reception. You check in and out with s machine. It is located in awful and dirty alley. At night I could hear drunk people talking lound just outside the hotel. Their is a brothel just a few doors away. At night I didn’t felt safe as a woman traveling alone. Also I had a tiny window facing a wall accross the alley. So don’t get fooled by the nice pictures on internet like it did! The next hotel I stayed The Amid hotel was cheaper and felt like paradise after staying at Sept hotel

初めて利用した時は、登録されている地図の位置にホテルがなく、裏路地で何往復もウロウロして困り果ててしまいました。たまたま通りがかりのサラリーマンさん達に助けられてもう少し奥にホテルがあるとわかりましたが、地図の位置がわかりにくいです。Hotel Sept.ではなくクウォルホテル（九月ホテルという意味なので同じではありますが）という別名もあり、ホテルの入口にはそちらが大きく書かれています。それが余計に気付きにくかった原因かもしれません。無人のホテルとはいえ多言語対応の自動チェックイン機を使うので言語面ではある程度大丈夫ですし、室内も清潔で問題ありませんでしたので、駅も広蔵市場も徒歩圏内にあることを考えると非常に便利です。私自身それが気に入ってまた利用しました。 ただ、エアコンの操作はややこしいので注意が必要です。壁に操作パネルがあるのでそれで操作するのかと思うとそれは床暖房用で、エアコンはテレビのリモコンで操作します。一応操作方法はテレビのリモコン付近に日本語などで書かれた操作方法の案内があるのですが、最初に利用した時（4月下旬）は、まさかテレビのリモコンで操作すると思わなかったので、床暖房を操作して暑い暑いと思っていました。また、エアコンの温度は細かい温度設定ができなそう（3段階くらい温度が書かれていますが、1度単位で操作できない）で、暑かったら風量を上げ、寒かったら風量を弱めたり消したりして対応していました。 それから、シャワーは頭上に固定されたタイプのものと手で持って使うもの（日本で一般的なタイプ）が両方ついていますが、初めて利用した時は手持ちタイプにお湯を出す操作方法が分からず、固定タイプしか使えませんでした。下のレバーで水量調節やシャワーと蛇口の切り替えはできます。ところが先日利用した時、シャワーの下に出ている蛇口をたまたま横にずらしたら、それが固定タイプと手持ちタイプを切り替える方法だということに気付きました。手持ちタイプのシャワーを使いたい方は参考にしてください。 色々書きましたが、何より立地が良いので、上記のことを理解、対応した上で利用するなら大変良いホテルだと思います。 何より私がここのリピーターになっているのが良い証拠です。
ホテル概観。壁にHOTEL SEPT.の文字があるが玄関には透明の板に小さく書かれているのみです。
写真には写っていませんが、玄関にはHOTEL SEPT.よりもハングルで「구월호텔（クウォルホテル）」と大きく書かれています。

If you have luggage and it is possible, it is recommendable to stay on first floor because the steps is too narrow and steep to bring luggage. Otherwise, it was good to stay just one night.

部屋は綺麗でモダンな雰囲気。シャワーとトイレ、ベット等も綺麗でした。 しかし何より狭い！想像より1/2サイズだと思った方がいいです。二人でダブルの部屋に泊まりましたが、 ベットはともかく、フリースペースが全くなく、スーツケースを広げる場所がありませんでした。 綺麗なのでただ寝るだけなら問題ないと思います。
