My reason for picking this hotel was its central location in Seoul as well as what another reviewer said about being able to store luggage for a few hours after checkout. I don't think the complimentary breakfast was listed in the amenities, but it should be! Can't say we loved the whole bathroom being a shower room or the tiny sink with no counter space for toiletries, but what was there was clean.

Disliked: Amenities
I'm going to be 100% honest. The location is amazing. It's close to everything. The place is small and noisy(I stayed on the first floor). Wifi didn't work. It's more like a motel than a hotel. I had a terible sleep and deeply regret staying here... thankly I only stayed here for 1 night. You might as well stay in a hotel for 1/3 of the price if saving money is a priority.
Bathtub... why would anyone use this... it's actually pretty disgusting.
