We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Spotlessly clean, modern (the toilets - omg!) and the check-out was seamless. The location of the hotel was fantastic – walking distance to both Ikseon-dong & Myeong-dong and we enjoyed exploring Insadong also.

The single room I stayed in was compact, but much more spacious than other single rooms I've set tayed in. Had everything I needed, even a big desk to work from. Breakfast is Korean style, which might not suit some western tastes. Lobby is basic and small, if that matters to you, but has hot and chilled water and a microwave you can use. Overall a great location near public transport that will get you anywhere in the city. Will absolutely be checking this hotel for availability next time I'm in...

It was my second time staying at this hotel. Same as last time, very pleased with the overall experience - very friendly and helpful staff, clean room, useful amenities, well-maintained facilities, and convenient location. Will consider choosing it again next time.

Easy check-in process by scanning QR code in lobby. Uses we code for lift access/building security. Provided us with water when we arrived to our room. Two of us stayed in a room with a bunk bed, was comfortable. Clean communal areas with a few food options such as ramen to buy in kitchen areas. Very easy access to DDP subway station for getting around the city.

Hotel was close to the main Myeongdong area but on the edge so provided some peace and quiet. Probably the best hotel we stayed in whilst in South Korea and really useful amenities such as an area with a microwave, table and chairs and water fountain on each floor. Room was large and comfortable with a good bathroom.

Hotel is in a very good location, it’s walking distance to the green, blue and purple subway line. Airport limousine bus stop is right outside hotel and you can buy ticket from hotel main desk.
Hotel was clean and spacious, and not a bad price for myeongdong

Great value for money with a Korean breakfast included. The rooms were spacious for the money and the bathroom was very functional with the bonus of a Japanese toilet!
I would stay here again as it was very close to metro station Singil
