連泊中、毎回受付のスタッフの方が皆さん優しかったです。英語ができる優しいスタッフの方もいました。英語が通じなくとも皆さんこちらの言いたいことを理解しようとしてくれました。受付のスタッフは若い方が多い印象でした、何かあればいつも柔軟に対応していただけました。優しい皆さんのおかげで充実した旅行になりました。また泊まりたいと思います。 お部屋は隅々まで掃除できているかと言われるとそうでもないですが、連泊中は毎日簡単に掃除をして頂けたので特に気になりませんでした。 毎日無料の飲み物やお菓子が置いてあり嬉しかったです。また朝の時間に1階に行くと食パンが置いてありトースターで焼くことができます。

Relaxing but needs a cleaning and better breakfast

Check in was fast and easy. Comfortable bed and a deep tub make for a great way to relax after a day of walking. It would be a good idea to deep clean between visitors. Got to my room and there's long strands of brown hair on the provided hairbrushes and on the bedding (note: I have short blue hair). The bathtub has mold growing around the edges and the dip in between tub and wall has a pool of water in it, letting water collect. The site also claims a free English breakfast with your stay, but your options are toast with 3 choices of toppings, tea or coffee, and little packets of crackers/biscuits. Very bare minimum effort.

You get what you paid for. Although it was cheap, i liked how close it is to a subway station, how quiet the hotel was, the staff was neither rude nor friendly which i didnt mind whether they greeted me or not. The bathroom had mold, seemed like they just made the bed and never changed the sheets, "breakfast" was only a toast and tea or milk or coffee (i didnt mind the breakfast so much)

Excellent

Staff were very friendly and helpful despite the language barrier. Accommodated to our requests and helped us with late night food delivery. Hotel is near Bomun station, which is also somewhat easy to excess to other popular stations like Hongdae and Dongdaemun. There are cafes nearby as well; and there is a Korean BBQ place which was real good and affordable (access from the back of the hotel, turn Left, walk straight). There is also an item-catcher arcade opposite the street which is a MUST to go if you’re into such things. The owner is awesome and friendly. Overall, the hotel is well-located and staff are nice. It was an excellent stay for my friends and I.

小哥態度很好~

優點：很容易找到，就在大馬路旁邊，交通便利有2個不同線的地鐵站，隔壁就是便利商店，櫃台小哥服務態度很好，房間雖小但該有都有還會附牙刷當小禮物 缺點：房間要上去之前還有階梯如有大型行李較不方便，隔音不太好，櫃台只有位女生會講英文（應該只上早班），房間毛巾有點舊舊的，感覺比較像賓館不是飯店~ 整體而言其實還可以接受，尤其是小哥的態度很好，雖語言不通但他很熱心願意幫妳解決問題

綺麗でした！床暖がついてて暖かかったです。 暑すぎたのでクーラーで調整していましたが^^; 冷蔵庫に水とジュース、コーヒーまであってびっくりしました。タオルも足りないというと快く渡して頂きスタッフさんの対応がよかったです。 コンセントの口が少ないので、タコ足のものを持っていく必要はあると思います！ 気になった点は、トイレの便座が少しずれていて座るたびにずれて落ちそうになったところだけであとは本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました。

Excellent value

We are very satisfied with our stay. The staff were quick to respond to issues and went above and beyond to help. The room was quite comfortable with a nice bathroom and a nice bed. Our only issue was the temperature - the room was very cold and didn't have controllable heating (we stayed here in the winter). The common areas were also quite cold. Also, the breakfast was not the best (only toast and tea/coffee) but we did like that we could take hot tea and snacks during other hours of the day. Overall, I would recommend this hotel: it's excellent for exploring Seoul (especially the northern part) and overall comfortable and of good quality. Not everyone in the staff speaks English, but there was always a staff member nearby who did so language was not an issue.

We booked this place as the photos online looked great. When we got there, the room had not been cleaned properly, and after complaining we got an upgrade. The Superior Room has a nice bath and a comfortable bed but there’s a big noise outside the window and the window blinds do not stop the light coming through.
