My reason for picking this hotel was its central location in Seoul as well as what another reviewer said about being able to store luggage for a few hours after checkout. I don't think the complimentary breakfast was listed in the amenities, but it should be! Can't say we loved the whole bathroom being a shower room or the tiny sink with no counter space for toiletries, but what was there was clean.

Disliked: Amenities
I'm going to be 100% honest. The location is amazing. It's close to everything. The place is small and noisy(I stayed on the first floor). Wifi didn't work. It's more like a motel than a hotel. I had a terible sleep and deeply regret staying here... thankly I only stayed here for 1 night. You might as well stay in a hotel for 1/3 of the price if saving money is a priority.
Bathtub... why would anyone use this... it's actually pretty disgusting.

Elaine

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
A basic place to stay. A small mirrored window meant there was no view. Hotel backs on to an alley that is noisy until around 1am due to local restaurants, so if you like an open window it might be difficult to sleep well. A/C is good. Breakfast is laid on and looked nice but I didn’t try it. Friendly staff. Right around the corner from Jongno 3-ga metro station.

Overall, the hotel was nice, though the room and especially the bathroom were quite small.

Good location, friendly and helpful staff, a clean room, nice breakfast. Some noise from the street with open window, but not too much. The room was a bit small for a family of three, but for one/two people on a budget it is a very good option to stay.

Hotel has amazing location, you can walk anywhere! You are also surrounded by all the shopping, street vendors and restaurants. Room is okay, it had a small window but couldn't have it open as other rooms were looking in it and no curtain. Shower/tub was weird, it is not actual standing shower. I paid for breakfast but ended up not even trying it because it starts late (I think 8:30 or 9:30 I forgot) and I day I had early tour and asked if they could prep some box for me earlier or night before - they said no. But in the lobby there is coffee machine, water bottles and infused water which is cool and it is open and available all the time.
