Let’s start with what was good. The staff was excellent. There was a free Ramen noodle bar and coffee and espresso and tea. Let’s go to what needs work. The rooms are only cleaned after four nights, which means the floors are allowed to stay dirty, but the towels are changed daily. So you can’t let your towel touch the floor because the floor is dirty. Although there is free, Ramen noodle and coffee guests are required to wash their own dishes. I could stay home and do that. Also, the breakfast is not breakfast. It’s boiled eggs, bananas, and orange slices. That is not breakfast. And there’s not enough room in the breakfast room for all of the guests so, many are forced out of the room or(we were asked to leave so others can sit). Luckily, there’s a McDonald’s nearby. The beds are not comfortable, but the down comforters are amazing. It’s a sparse Motel for a low budget.
The room was clean, staff extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast is pretty much a snack but theres a convenience store right around the corner that has a large variety of selection. I would definitely stay there again 100%

The hotel staff were all very kind. The room temperature was too hot on the day I checked in, and there was no thermostat in the room, so the front desk staff left at 10pm. It was so hot that night I couldn't get a good night's sleep, but I told the hotel staff the next morning and they adjusted it for me. The hotel staff are there from 8am and leave at 10pm, so they can't adjust the temperature after 10pm, so I recommend letting them know in advance.

Good value if the rates are low enough. Location is very walkable to so many sights. Not having an isolated shower makes the bathroom awkward after it gets wet, but you can work with it. Housekeeping will only change the towels, so if you're there for an extended duration the room will get dirty.
Easy, Clean, convenient. If you’re on the go and basically just need a place to relax and sleep, you’ll love it here and the area is not crowded. With Near by shopping at this cute village I think it’s insadong area, with many cute cafes, many options for dinning and they have many cute little gift shops worth checking out. It’s also walking distances to the train or bus station so you can explore many more shopping are. You can walk to the palace from here which is probably around 20min. Furthermore, exploring South Korea is so much nicer when you walk and just take the time to enjoy all their outdoor adventures because it’s so beautiful and along the way you can just stop to try out random restaurants and you’ll have the most memorable experience full of wow’s and fun. There’s also a Gs25 or 7/11 around the corner for convenience. I definitely enjoyed my stay and will book here again for my next vacation in South Korea.

It was our first time visiting Korea and we loved our stay in this hotel. It was easy to find, the airport limousine bus is close by, there is tons of options for food around. Train and bus station are nearby. Overall we enjoyed our stay here, we would definitely be booking again when we come back to visit
The hotel is good for the price,
The room is ok & small.
I really dislike the bathroom, shower and toilet right next to each other, so the toilet is always wet. Everytime you take a shower, you will need to remove the roll of toilet paper.
The breakfast is very basic, but free 24 hr instant noodles
The staffs are very nice.
