8/10 Very Good! (589 reviews)

Its a small space but that was expected. Its exactly as described. Typical all in one combined shower toilet. Very limited space for opening luggage. I had 2 twin beds but placed one luggage on one bed to be able to function and pack. Location is the best part. Ideally in Myeongdong and right near the station and bus stops. Shopping was easier when I could easily drop off bags then go back to shopping. I booked this place as my departure hotel when I did my shopping haul and it worked out well. Except for the maneuvering luggage to pack in the small room. I cant imagine sharing the space with anyone. It was just me and I barely fit comfortably with two check-in bags and a carry-on. Provided breakfast was decent, especially its free. Best seaweed soup I've ever had, I went back for seconds!
