    Nothing really, great place and value for money.

    I like the location since its within Insandong, you can get to tourist spots quickly and there's a station nearby. Also, the airport bus stop is less than 10mins away from the place which is great since we have large luggages.

    The room i stayed at was quite old, had a persistent damp, moldy smell, which was a downside to an otherwise pleasant stay.

    Excellent experience with the staff! I accidentally left an item in my room, they went above and beyond to assist me and was willing to either mail it to me or keep it safe until I could retrieve it. Their customer service was exceptional, and they were incredibly polite throughout the entire interaction, especially the Mandarin-speaking staff. This place offers great value for money, and location is quite convenient, provide all the essential facilities you might need.

    The room is really small. The place was acceptably clean, but not super clean. The shower is literally above the toilet, so when you take a shower the whole bathroom gets wet. It is not a great issue but it can be a bit uncomfortable.

    The location is excellent. The self check in and check out is really comfortable. There is also a place to leave the luggage in case you need to before check in or after check out. Air conditioner works perfectly.

    A bit cramped for two adults and the bed is narrow, but basically ok.

    Location is really good, bus stop is close to the hotel maybe 5-8 minutes walk. Convenient to landmarks such as Changdeokgung Palace, Gyeongbokgung, Namsan Tower, Dongdaemun Market and more.

    Great place but messy laundry room
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Superior Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights
    • Submitted via mobile

    The laundry was messy, several machines out of order (3 out 7) and only 2 have a drying option (get ready to check multiple times to wash/dry your clothes as it was used - mostly by the hotel itself - every time I checked). There's no other place than your room to hang the wet clothes till you find an empty slot to use the dryer. The kitchen was a bit gloomy, it doesn't seem to be used a lot (fair enough, there are lots and lots of amazing restaurants nearby) and it lacked essential items (no cutlery whatsoever, no trash can either).

    Great location and easily accessible from the subway, almost everything you need is there (hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and you can borrow charger plugs, umbrellas, etc...) and it was quiet at night. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean. The fridge is tiny but enough to store small water bottles (that you can buy at a convenient store right next door). There's an elevator and you can drop your luggage before you check in and after checking out.

    The room size is definitely on the small size, which made it a bit difficult with our suitcases, but we managed okay - just something to keep in mind. The shower situation wasn't the best - the entire bathroom was always super wet and slippery after one of us had a shower. Not the end of the world but just remember to move all towels, toilet paper etc. out of the way before showering.

    The check in and out process was super simple and easy to use as well as being very convenient, particularly as we arrived much later than we expected due to a delayed flight. The location is also quite nice, not too far from either Anguk or Jongno 3 subway stations. There's also a convenience store right next to the hotel which was super handy when we wanted to grab a quick snack or drink, but there's also plenty of restaurants nearby. We also thought it was a relatively quiet place overall and never felt unsafe walking around the area late at night.

    The only problem we encountered was the toilet in our room clogged after just our first night. We barely used it as we were on tour, but upon return, the water overflowed. Some tissue residue came up. We reported it and the host sent a staff day after to declog. She left the declogger in the bathroom. But after some time, it clogged again and we just used it to declog but it was a hassle. To improve, please check the toilets regularly.

    I like the ease of self check in and out. The rooms are also aesthetically pleasing. They also provided free borrowing of adapters and wires in the lobby. Also, washing and steaming on your own is good.

    I was unable to find a larger supermarket in walking distance, but there are plenty of convenience stores, restaurants, and cafes in the neighbourhood to make up for that.

    Checking in and out was easy and intuitive, the location was convenient for both city activities and hiking trips, and the room was good value for money!
