Great place to stay
Great place to stay !! Staff were super helpful. Great location with lots of restaurants in the area, super market only a few minutes away, and near subway and bus lines. Overall was super impressed for the price we paid.

It was a good stay, just that you barely got to see the staff and there was no room cleaning option. We stayed for two weeks which was still doable, but I guess just weird.

The hotel is in an alley, looks bad outside but inside is clean, spacious room, free coffee, soft drink, near subway station. Nice staff, they even lent me 220-110 V adaptor.
There is no room service, you have bring garbage and towels out but these are not big deal.

The hotel staff at check in was very friendly. But it was nothing like the photos, the room I got was old and dirty. I smelled mould and there was dust and mould everywhere. I think the price was too high for that quality of a room. I ended up booking a different hotel.

The quality to price ratio was great. With a bus stop 2 minutes away and the subway just over 5 minutes, I made all my appointments early. There were coffee, tea and water available at all times in the lobby.
The smell from someone smoking did irritate me as my lungs don't tolerate cigarette smoke well. But that was only a periodical inconvenience.

-The stars are rated according to the price, for the cheap price it was a good deal.
-One of the staff didn't speak much English, the other one could speak English well. They were kindly flexible with my check-in time.
-There's a lot of restaurants, a big Lotte Mart grocery store and a Daiso (home items) nearby. Two metro stations nearby and buses. Clothes and other shopping you'd have to go towards central Seoul.
-The hotel room was clean, some moldiness in the bathroom that I have had in all cheap Korean apartments. Aircon and TV worked, and remote control for TV-aircon-lights had English instructions. I used my own Wifi but there was a mediocre connection in the room also. You could get into your room 24/7, overall a good stay!

이불에서 담배 냄새가 많이 나서 청결에 의문이 들고 3명 투숙했는데 이불과 수건이 적고 생수도 기본적으로 없네요!
객실이 깔끔하게 잘 되어있어서 좋았습니다. 하지만 드나드는 사람들의 소리가 좀 거슬렸고
한밤중에 누군가 문손잡이를 열려는 시도가 있어서 불안했습니다.
