The building is old and has the feel of a traditional Korean motel. The location was better than expected, with theaters and markets within walking distance. The cleaning was generally good, but it was very disappointing that there was hair from the previous guest on the hairbrush, a leftover water bottle from the previous guest in the refrigerator, and the batteries in the air conditioner remote were weak. Also, since it's an old building, there were no sprinklers in the rooms.

Pros: Convenient to train station, walking distance to the famous Gwangjang market, and about a 40 minute walk to Meyong-dong. The room provides soap, toothpaste, body wash, a tea kettle, blow dryer, flat iron, and mini fridge that is stocked with a couple waters and juices. They really do provide everything to try to make your stay comfortable. Cons: The bed was extremely firm. Furnishings are dated. AC stopped working on our last night. It possibly could have been user error since the remote is in Korean and I didn’t understand the symbols. That’s not the hotels fault obviously. FYI: This is outside of the main tourist area, so the hotel front desk doesn’t speak any English. Not an issue for us, we used Papago for translation.

Last minute room that came in handy. I think it should’ve been a tad bet cheaper for the quality. But I’m appreciative of the stay nonetheless.

1 ⭐️ My experience with this hotel in Seoul was disappointing and unacceptable. Due to a genuine family emergency, I was forced to end my stay early and return home. I promptly notified the hotel, providing sufficient notice and clear documentation of the situation, in good faith that they would handle the matter with a basic level of professionalism and compassion. Instead, the hotel failed entirely in its duty of customer service. My communications were ignored, and no effort was made to respond, assist, or even acknowledge the situation. I subsequently escalated the matter through Expedia, yet despite this, the hotel remained uncooperative and unwilling to engage. While I respect that policies exist, a complete absence of communication and any refusal to consider exceptional circumstances is both unreasonable and unprofessional. This level of disregard for guests is unacceptable. I strongly advise others to avoid this hotel. Based on my experience, you should not expect responsiveness, flexibility, or adequate customer care should any issue arise.

일방적인 호텔취소로 인해서 재배치팀이 다시 잡아준 곳인데 너무 별로인 곳을 잡아주었네요. 일때문에 먼저잡은 숙소보다 너무 멀고요. 이런 경우면 알아서 가까운 곳으로 비용 많아져도 잡아주던가 해야 되는데 정말 후속조치가 별로입니다.

최악입니다.

정말 충격이네요. 숙소 쪽의 확인 실수임에도 불과하고 고객 탓을 하는 숙소는 처음입니다. 정각이 넘는 시간에 체크인을 하였는데 예약이 안 되어 있다는 둥 예약을 강제로 취소시키려고 했습니다. 결국은 숙소 쪽의 확인 미스로 다행히 묵었지만 적 하 반장으로 고객 쪽 인성을 지적하더군요. 무엇보다 가격에 비해 방은 매우 비좁았고 수건은 구멍과 얼룩으로 가득하더군요. 앞 손님에게는 제공했던 칫솔 등의 용품도 제공하지 않으려는 둥(일단 얻었습니다.) 화풀이를 했습니다. 부디 양심적으로 영업을 해주셨으면 좋겠습니다.

LOL, did not know that this was a love hotel. Needed a hotel/motel for a one-night stay. This place wasn't exactly clean as the towels had a few stains and the amenities are limited. As soon as I got off the elevator, I heard loud but passionate moaning from the "opened" room across from mine. LOL, this was a good first time experience, but I wouldn't recommend staying here longer than 1-2 days if you're single.

저렴해서 좋았던곳

정말 좁디좁은 방이였어요. 오래된 모텔인듯했고 서비스... So so... 다만 방이 뜨끈뜨끈해서 제대로 쉴수있었어요. 주변 식당도 많고 맛집도 꽤 있더군요~ 나름 저렴히 잘 쉬었어요.
