The room wasn't really clean and there were tiny black worms in the bath room. My daughters didnt like to take a bath because of the worms and there were no bath, it was just one shower in the toilet.

A great option for travellers looking for an inexpensive stay in Seoul. It's conveniently right near Wangsimni Station and the staff are friendly. It's kind of a no-frills accommodation, but it is more than sufficient.

The property is suitable for young travelers on a budget. The room is spacious but the toilet is slightly small and might not be the best for the elderly. The European-looking staff was very kind and kudos to her for answering our questions patiently and helping us out with recommendations. However, the other Korean staff forgot about our request to make our room and was late opening the lobby for breakfast service.

Not a bad hotel near 2 subway stations
Friendly receptionist, good kitchen and cooking area with breakfast provided.
However, there was a strange smell coming out from the air conditioner and the water temperature was hardly consistent.
But overall, for a short stay at this price is pretty good.

Mixed feelings!
+The best part was the location of the property.
+Highly accessible.
+Well kept and clean.
+They spoke English which is great too.
= Even though they boast of breakfast, it is minimal and gets the job done, so don’t expect a spread or a banquet.
X It was a hostel with Warden. Not a hotel. So don’t expect customer delight while the service is purely transactional.
X I wish the room was bigger and had closet space especially for guests staying long.

Small rooms with all the necessities
We stayed here for a week. The room was very small but we spent most of our time outside so it was fine. There was an AC unit and a mini fridge in the room; we would not have been able to survive Korea's hot summer without them. The breakfast is good and the place is very clean. The location is close to 2 subway stations. It was easy to find. Overall, I would definitely stay here gain if on a budget.
