Not ideal budget hotel
Hotel entrance is on a hill that makes check-in challenging with luggage. Greeted by a front desk employee who's favorite word was "no". Booked two rooms together, but were on separate floors. One room door did not close correctly, it kept hitting the closest wall. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Free wi-fi inside room but drops once you enter hallway. Hallways had weird slopes in sections, but weren't in same spots on different floors. Zero food available within the hotel, restaurant was either on holiday or gone out of business. Won't consider staying here again.
close to all shopping, transportation (bus/train/airport bus/taxis). very convenient just let the cab drop you at the corner and not at the uphill part especially if you have a lot of luggage.
our hotel tv remote did not work but staff fixed it after - regular tv stations. no cable, no airplay, no subtitles.
2 water bottles a day - Yey!
rooftop is very nice with a view of the seoul tower. however not accessible if you have a disability as the elevator only goes to the 7th floor and a steep stair to the rooftop (8th floor)
small washer/drier at 5000 won/wash
clean hotel- quiet even though they said there’s construction happening - never heard construction noise but you will hear next room if they are loud.
Hotel is clean and spacious- we had 2 large suitcases and 2 carryons and still have room.
convenient location. had to pay for water. very honest staff. left my rings and they contacted me right away and sent my rings to my hotel in seoul. hotel room is spacious and very clean. small windows - not good if you are claustrophobic. the tea is good too.

Good location, otherwise nothing impressive.
The rooms are old and outdated.
It's on the border of Myeongdong shopping area, so it is walking distance to some of the attractions like Namsan cable car, Cheonggyecheon stream and of course Myeongdong shopping and night food market.
The cleaning lady is really nice.
Our group of three persons arrived late at the Hotel and got warm greetings from the reception on 18 December 2019. This is a very convenient hotel closes to Myeongdong Exit no. 3. We took limousine bus no.
Hotel is close to everything including airport bus stop, trains, shops and restaurant. The size of the room is reasonable and in very good condition. The only gripe is that I lose wifi connectivity between 8pm and 10pm each night. Other than that, I highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

The hotel is decent enough. Nice location. My only concern is they do not clean the room properly. When we checked in we saw a used tissue beside our bed.
Location was perfect, train station was few minutes away. Isaac toast was across the road and restaurants like McD, fried chicken shops, Paris Baguette etc are nxt to the hotel. Myeongdong street is across the road as well. Is a good hotel for option.
It was my wife and my 4th wedding anniversary. We stayed at this hotel and on our first night, we were given a twin sharing room and the room wasn’t well cleaned.
There was sand on the bed and strands of hair in the bathroom.
However, the hotel changed us to a double room which was to our delight. However, there were only 1 pillow for each of us. When we called to request for more pillows, they said they don’t have anymore pillows and offered blankets instead, which didn’t fit our purpose.
On the overall, it was still quite a pleasant stay despite the minor hiccups.
