Stay here in early December. The room has a floor heater, but it wasn’t strong enough and I was freezing all night—luckily, only stayed for one night. There’s an air conditioner, but it's labeled for cooling only, so it didn’t help with heating the room. The room also has a small upstairs area, but it's not for sleeping. The washing machine is labeled as broken.
The location is a bit distance from the metro but acceptable, bus stop is nearer. The front desk can help store luggage for early check-ins or post-check-out, and they also provide a universal adapter if needed.
Overall, it was okay

Really enjoyed staying the hotel. I could get the clear N-tower view directly from the room.
100% visit again.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is so close to many restaurants, coffee shops and two metro lines. It was also conveniently located to Gwangjang Market via a 10 minute walk, Bukchon Hanok Village 20 minutes via metro and Gyeonggbokgung Palace. You can easily hike Namsan Mt. Park all the way to Seoul Tower in about 90 minutes, starting from the hotel all the way to the top. The staff were very friendly and accommodating organizing taxi services and helping with directions to get around the city. The room needs a bit of updating but it was clean, functional, the bed was comfortable to sleep in and it had a nice view of North Seoul Tower. I would highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again!

We are a family of 5, the room was alittle small but cozy for us, might have some trouble finding space to open up our 3 luggages. The loft area is a good configuration as the kids loved the concept. Bed and pillow as comfy enough for us, the city view from the room was lovely. Pantry at the lobby had hot water dispenser for your cup noodles cravings at night. Emart convenience stall is just right next to the hotel. Location is not too bad, train station / airport limo bus is just a 5mins walk away. Overall, we had a great 2 night stay.

No toiletries provided during our stay. Need to pay 1000W for the toiletries, as per their government rules. This is more like an Abnb stay with cleaning service.😂😂 Walking distance to subway, 7/11, cafe and restaurants.
Overall, good for a budget traveller with a basic stay.
Should have a better choice with the same rates elsewhere.

The hotel was in a good location, close to train stations and just a 20-minute walk to Myeongdong Street. The staff was very accommodating, and the view from my room was fantastic!

The nearest station is only one stop away from myeong-dong station. It is in a convenient and nice neighbourhood. Nice eateries and olive young is nearby too. Pleasant experience overall.

We regularly stay here when in Seoul. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Eating out in Seoul can be expensive, so the communal kitchen facilities are really useful for heating up noodles etc. The location in Myeongdong is great.

It wasn’t dirty, however wished the hotel could focus more on maintenance and upkeep as the wallpapers are peeling off, rust on the mirror, cracked walls, stains on bed sheets and blanket… The location was great though, 15 minutes walk to Myeongdong main street, 10 minutes walk to Gwangjang market and there were convenience stores nearby. There were bare minimum facilities, I was mildly satisfied…We were able to watch netflix so that was good! The temperature in the room was just as well!
