Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Located on a tricky-to-find alleyway — The hotel sits on a small alley that local shop owners and taxi drivers have trouble locating, so you may need the hotel's business card or GPS to get there.
  • Some rooms lack shower doors — A few guests note that the shower has no doors, which may lead to water splashing—a design choice that isn't for everyone.
  • Towels reported as small — One guest found the towels to be small and had difficulty getting larger ones, despite requests to staff.
  • Comfort rating is lower than other categories — While rooms are comfortable, the hotel's Comfort rating (7.1) is notably lower than its other scores, possibly reflecting aspects like the shower design or bedding.

“I loved the balcony and the room's look. The big-screen TV was great, and we enjoyed the jacuzzi. The English-speaking staff were helpful, and the hotel is close to the subway and downtown.”

“This hotel is a gem—very inexpensive, very modern, and in an excellent downtown location. It's hard to find, tucked on a small alleyway that even local shop owners and taxi drivers struggled with. If you're going anywhere in Seoul, take the hotel's business card—taxis all have GPS. Taxis are cheap. Due to jet lag, we overslept checkout by an hour, but the hotel woke us and didn't charge us.”

“Staff were friendly. The location and facilities were great. The balcony was cute, though I didn't have time to use it. A fine hotel with a great location. Recommended for solo travelers or young couples.”

“Gorgeous venue, delicious food, wonderful location right near Jongno-3-ga station. There's a traditional restaurant on site, and the room was beautifully maintained with a balcony, minibar, and a giant TV.”
