The staff were incredibly professional and friendly, making our experience even better. We highly encourage everyone to stay here!

Its a small space but that was expected. Its exactly as described. Typical all in one combined shower toilet. Very limited space for opening luggage. I had 2 twin beds but placed one luggage on one bed to be able to function and pack. Location is the best part. Ideally in Myeongdong and right near the station and bus stops. Shopping was easier when I could easily drop off bags then go back to shopping. I booked this place as my departure hotel when I did my shopping haul and it worked out well. Except for the maneuvering luggage to pack in the small room. I cant imagine sharing the space with anyone. It was just me and I barely fit comfortably with two check-in bags and a carry-on.
Provided breakfast was decent, especially its free. Best seaweed soup I've ever had, I went back for seconds!

The accommodations and staffing were beyond exceptional. We had booked this place after the recommendation of a friend who had stayed here last year and would easily recommend it to new any returning travelers. They are really good a accommodating your needs, and in our case we had a red eye flight and would check in around 0300 which was past their normal check in time but we had reached out and they had someone there to help us, which we were extremely grateful for. The location is unbelievable as you are next to the train station and bus stop which made it easily accessible. Not to mention that the food stalls that come out at night are only a few feet away from the front door, but not close enough that the sound would reach you. Easily would recommend and will definitely be returning in the future.

Honestly I had zero problems with my stay here - easy to find, the breakfast bar was awesome, clean rooms (no bedbugs), good view and the rooftop was certainly appreciated. Great shopping literally out the door and a convenience store directly underneath with friendly helpful staff.
For sure recommended.

We Stayed for 3 nights but only slept 1 night. The Walls are simply paper thin, so we could literally hear neighbors talking, laughing or watching TV till 2-3 am.
Only knocking on the walls would help.
Please pay extra and stay somewhere else, the location is not worth it.
Staff was super Nice though.

Toilet smelly, asked not to dump toilet paper into toilet bowl which was not hygienic. Bathroom was small, watery floor after shower. No light switch at bed side. Bed was small and mattress not comfortable. No view for window, only a small gap in between buildings. The room was dark.

Room was a bit dusty on the side of the bed. It didn’t bother me that much but for a room this should be cleaned. Beside that service was a great and staff was friendly.

This is a great place to stay. Close to subway station Exit 5. Convent to take the Airport Limousine Bus back to Incheon airport, located close to Exit 9 of the subway.
The reception area needs new carpet. Either it’s stained really bad or needs cleaning.
My room was two twin beds with street and roof top views.
The bed is the hardest bed I’ve ever sleep in. I asked for a mattress topper(duvet). It didn’t help so I went across the street and bought two yoga mats. Still was to hard for my hip joint.
Staff is friendly. Has a breakfast buffet every day.
They will store luggage if you get there too early.
