Lovely room! Comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom with a deep tub! It’s located down an alley but it’s in a great part of town with lots of restaurants and shopping around. The breakfast was simple but very good. Would definitely stay there again!

Overall a decent stay! The staff were really friendly and helpful throughout, and the location couldn’t be better — super convenient and close to everything. The room was clean and they were happy to tidy it up whenever requested, which was great. There was a bit of street noise that carried in from the main road, but only noticeable if the window was open. One small downside was the plumbing situation — like many places in Seoul, you can’t flush toilet paper, though there is a bidet which helps. The only slightly odd thing was the frosted glass bathroom doors… not exactly offering much privacy 😅. Otherwise, a comfortable and pleasant enough stay for the price.

Great value for money, the room was simple but had enough space for 2 people. Very convenient location and quiet room. The mattress could have been a bit firmer for my lower back problem but that’s a personal matter. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for good value for money.
