This hotel is easy to find although it is up a hill if you come from the Heohyeon subway station. Check-in is very easy and they have an elevator! The room was very clean and comfortable. There is a small restaurant next door that offers a free coffee with your meal if you stay there. I found the chicken tacos to be delicious.

便利な立地（ソウル駅からも徒歩圏)
Hoehyoen駅が最寄りですが、ソウル駅からもまあ歩ける範囲です。 大通りからホテルまで急坂がありますが距離は短いです。 チェックイン・アウト前はB1Fのコインロッカーに荷物を預ける仕組みです。ただ12時間でW4000〜6000とちょっと割高。 利便性も含めソウル駅やロッテマートのロッカーのほうが良いかなという気がしました。

The location was great- just a few minutes away from the station. Room was tiny but can’t complain because of the price. The staff was friendly and nice and helped me find places etc. Only the cleanliness that disappointed me. There’s mold on window panes and the room was musty. There were boxes and bags all over. The design of the place is kind of cool and fancy; if it was kept clean, I think it’d make a cozy place. There were tea bags and instant coffee for free in the kitchen. I don’t know why they keep a bag of salt by the coffee.. as I can’t read Korean, I definitely thought it was sugar and ended up having very salty coffee :/

Baited by the K-pop name. This place is just horrible. Walls are dirty, everything is just dusty. Toilets feels scary. You don't even have enough space to put and open your luggage on the floor. Don't bother booking here, even if it's cheaper.

This was an ok motel for a one night stay but if you are planning on staying for more than a few days or plan on showering, I would go somewhere else. The shower area had not been cleaned for a while and the room reeked of someone who had just finished a pack of cigarettes. The beds were fine and overall the room did its job of housing us to sleep 4 hours and have a functioning toilet.

Small room small price
It was a cheap place to stay. However it was dirty. Stairs were a disaster (clutter every where) and it smelled of dead fish. Walls are paper thin you can hear every conversation at 430am. But for the price it has everything you need for your stay and its a great location. I would stay here again.

Small but convenient. Better for solo than couple.
A very convenient and affordable hotel, near Seoul Station and Myeongdong. It's nothing fancy, the rooms are quite small. But if you're really just looking for a place to sleep that's clean and comfortable, this place isn't bad. Sharing a room here might be tough – the bathroom doesn't have much privacy (can hear and possibly see a bit more than wanted). But overall clean and nice.

Just needs some paint
First off you should know with it being so cheap that the rooms will be small. Yes there is where and tear on the building. it's an older building, the rooms could use a coat of paint but other than that my room was clean. Staff was super friendly. Asked how to work the A.C. unit and they thought I said it was broken and was very worried. I didn't realise there was a remote for it. lol. You do have to ask for housekeeping if you want to have your room freshened up. And must ask before 11am. There is a strong odor, but I find that that is just Korea. The plumbing system is old, so the odor does rise up. it does go away. Haven't been to any other part of the hotel so can't put my 2 cent on that. but I like it. just needs some paint. Oh and yes. the hotel is on a hill, but so is 70% of Korea.

Overprice motel rather than hotel of three stars
Only good for transit as the room is very small and have to unpack luggage on beds. Although there is a subway stn nearby, no lift - need to walk up stairs - at least fifty over steps over two staircases. Not really value for money.

Very clean room with all the necessities for a sightseeing tourist. I loved the proximity to Seoul Station just around the corner from the Hilton and the Seoul Tower Park in an astonishingly quiet location (I could sleep with the window open). Staff was super friendly and helpful. Just a short stroll to the Market and the Subway. I will be back!

Comfortable Stay
This hotel has the most comfortable bed I've slept on during my stay in Korea. There's a lift in the hotel, making it convenient for travellers with bulky luggages. The staffs were really friendly. The room is really small and there's barely any place to walk after I opened my luggage.

The hotel staff is really friendly. The rooms are ok so far, with enough room to store lagguage. The shower is directly connected to the washing basin sink, and u may have to wait little for the warm water. Wifi and breakfast..hm. Very nice are the washing machines on the B1 area. Drying facilities can be found on the rooftop. The site is very, very easy to find

Location is good, next to Namdaemun market; close to the railway station, too. Reliable WiFi. The room was as small as it can be, but the price was rock bottom, so overall impression is quite positive.
