Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, with easy check in and responsive assistance. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from very clean rooms and daily tidying to reports of dusty or poorly cleaned spaces, lingering smoke smells, and occasional maintenance lapses. Rooms often feature very firm mattresses, large bathtubs and in-room computers, and several guests note a discreet love hotel feel that may not suit everyone. Expect a simple, good value stay focused on location and convenience.

Basic but comfortable and clean. Very close to a tube station with easy connections to the rest of the city. Room was a bit dated but did a great job for a two night stay. They provide free snacks, bottled water and soft drinks both in the room and at the reception. Great value for money if you don’t have super high expectations.

I changed to this property after my original accommodation in Hongdae was so grim I didnt want to stay there. I managed to book the last room in the property and I am so glad i made the change. My room had a shower, toilet and seperate whirl bath (although the bubbles didnt work) and was spacious and clean. Staff cleaned the room daily, no matter what time you left, and the location was absolutely perfect for getting to both the nearby subway and walking to local sites of interest. The bed was very firm, but actually just what was needed after long days out.

The room was small, but neat and clean. The staff was very helpful fixing a few minor problems in the room. Great location in the middle of all the action in Insadong. Our room had a mini-fridge, but no microwave - however one was available in the lobby. The bed was unusually firm - if staying more than a day or two, consider bringing a thin mattress pad. The hotel-provided water and small treats were nice.

The room was spacious and clean. Since I went during the winter time, heater was available for use in room if needed. Electric heating blanket was also provided for customers to use to keep the bed warm. There are many restaurants and cafes nearby and the hotel is close to subway stations with 3-10 min walking distance to line 5 and 3.

The room was generally filthy. I believe it is an hourly motel masked as a 3 star hotel. The bed gave me rashes (10 days and counting) and the room was so dusty it was absolutely disgusting.

This hotel is the perfect choice for staying in Seoul. It’s located a couple of steps away from Ikseondong and at a walking distance from many attractions like the royal palaces, and it’s also 5-10 minutes away from the subway and a bus stop. The neighbourhood is lively, with dozens of cafes and small restaurants to choose from. As a solo female traveler, it felt safe walking back to the hotel past midnight. The staff was super kind and did their best to make sure we understood each other despite the language barrier. The room had some highs and lows. The floor and the bathtub hadn’t been cleaned properly and the furniture is a bit outdated, but towels and linen were fresh everyday. I really appreciated the complimentary snacks and drinks, the night robe and personal hygiene products provided. I would suggest placing a table lamp near the bed to avoid getting up every time to turn the lights on and off. Veeeery firm mattress (loved it, but can be a bit too hard for someone). The room is spacious and definitely couple-oriented - the (huge) bathtub is open, so it might be uncomfortable to shower if you’re staying with someone you’re not 100% intimate with. Overall this stay worked very well for me and I would probably choose it again.

Accesible. Aunque la habitación tenia un olor muy fuerte a cigarro. E incrementaba mas el olor, al encender el aspirador en baño y regadera. No se si solo habia habitaciones para fumadores pero al reservar no habia la opción de habitación para no fumadores. Pero todo lo demas estaba bien.

Staff cleaned the room daily, no matter what time you left, and the location was absolutely perfect for getting to both the nearby subway and walking to local sites of interest.

Basic but comfortable and clean. Very close to a tube station with easy connections to the rest of the city. Room was a bit dated but did a great job for a two night stay. They provide free snacks, bottled water and soft drinks both in the room and at the reception. Great value for money if you don’t have super high expectations.

The room was small, but neat and clean. The staff was very helpful fixing a few minor problems in the room. Great location in the middle of all the action in Insadong. Our room had a mini-fridge, but no microwave - however one was available in the lobby. The bed was unusually firm - if staying more than a day or two, consider bringing a thin mattress pad. The hotel-provided water and small treats were nice.

The room was spacious and clean. Since I went during the winter time, heater was available for use in room if needed. Electric heating blanket was also provided for customers to use to keep the bed warm. There are many restaurants and cafes nearby and the hotel is close to subway stations with 3-10 min walking distance to line 5 and 3.

This hotel is the perfect choice for staying in Seoul. It’s located a couple of steps away from Ikseondong and at a walking distance from many attractions like the royal palaces, and it’s also 5-10 minutes away from the subway and a bus stop. The neighbourhood is lively, with dozens of cafes and small restaurants to choose from. As a solo female traveler, it felt safe walking back to the hotel past midnight. The staff was super kind and did their best to make sure we understood each other despite the language barrier. The room had some highs and lows. The floor and the bathtub hadn’t been cleaned properly and the furniture is a bit outdated, but towels and linen were fresh everyday. I really appreciated the complimentary snacks and drinks, the night robe and personal hygiene products provided. I would suggest placing a table lamp near the bed to avoid getting up every time to turn the lights on and off. Veeeery firm mattress (loved it, but can be a bit too hard for someone). The room is spacious and definitely couple-oriented - the (huge) bathtub is open, so it might be uncomfortable to shower if you’re staying with someone you’re not 100% intimate with. Overall this stay worked very well for me and I would probably choose it again.

This is a small hotel, not extravagant by any means, and hard to find by even taxi drivers. The staff were wonderful and extremely helpful. The room was clean and they even had hair products and skincare products in the room. The most important part is the location. You’re in the middle of bars, restaurants, and even shops. This area came alive in the evening and it was so much fun. Highly recommended.
