    The location was exceptional. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, even contacting me before my arrival to make sure I arrived in time to check in. The room was very comfortable and clean, with everything that I needed.

    Bathroom towels they provide are minuscule, although they do the job.

    Next to a temple, so I had an amazing view from my room. Even though they provided ear plugs in case you're bothered by the morning service I only heard very faint noises on a Sunday morning, and it was actually pleasant to wake up to them. The room is rather small, but you don't really feel it because of the way it's arranged. I loved sleeping "upstairs", and the little "downstairs" nook for watching TV was simply perfect. Also, I found the bathroom to be rather spacious, compared to other places in SK. It's walking distance from one of the palaces, and there's restaurants all around. It's also next to an area where lots of Koreans come out in the evenings to socialise/eat, so make sure to walk around and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Perfect value for money!

    There is no bath towel included with the room. I’m not sure if that helps them keep prices low (?), but it is a little detail that would really put this hotel over the top. Additionally, I wish the hours of the top floor comment area were a little bit more extended. I also don’t really think I would stay in this area again if I return to Seoul, but that is my choice, not a fault of the property.

    The hotel is absolutely adorable and has a number of great amenities for the low price. It is quiet, cozy, and clean. The room itself was super cute and cozy and had plenty of space for just one person.

    No place to sit other than the bed and one stool. But that’s because the room is small. Front desk hours are limited on weekends, again because it’s a small operation.

    The location is very close to the Changdoekgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village. Rooms are small and the shower is in the middle of the bathroom, but it’s clean and quiet. The Tong Tong crew was exceptional in helping us find an ATM for international bank cards and advised us on the best way to get to Gyeongju by bus on a very busy holiday when trains were full. Really appreciate their extremely helpful attitude and perfect English from a charming crew member.

    It’s not so much a “didn’t like” but the shower takes some getting used to as a western person! Just a little heads up.

    The rooms are cute and functional, the rooftop and basement lounge are an absolute bonus and the communication and staff are exceptional. 10/10 would recommend and would love to come back one day.

    You can reach the hotel through a “main” street or through an alley. If you use Naver, it will suggest you go through the alley (one minute shorter). But I would avoid this option at night.

    The location is the BEST! Close to a metro station with many connections. If you prefer walking, is conveniently situated between the main two palaces, close to Ikseondong and Insadong, and not even that far from Cheonggyecheon stream or Myeongdong. The atmosphere is lively at night too. It’s a perfect little hotel for solo travellers.

    A great place for a solo traveller and a first time visit in Seoul. Close to the palaces, with a lot of nice cafes and restaurants in the neighbourhood but also very quite. The metro station is just 4 minutes away. The staff was very helpful and kind. Definitely a place to stay if you're visiting Seoul!

    Beds were very firm for western backs. Ask for a room on a higher floor, as lower floors get affected by neighbouring buildings light pollution. Hotel could consider black out blinds. Duplex rooms (bed above the sitting space) requires a bit a physical effort to get into.

    Great location, close to many historical tourist attractions, subway, districts of Insadong & Buchon Hanok. All you need in a petite package.

    The bathroom in my room did not have a separate shower space which made it a little awkward to take a comfortable shower, which was my only slight inconvenience during my stay.

    Great location with easy access to subways and the ikseon-dong area. Good value for the size and cleanliness of the room. Staff was friendly and professional, and communicating with the staff via kakaotalk was very convenient.

    There’s nothing I didn‘t like about the accommodation, only both google maps and naver map seemed confused, so taxi drivers had a hard time finding the place.

    Excellent location if you want to explore the Jongno-gu / Bukchon area, and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Good coffee and muffins 🙂. And the room (I had a single maisonette), although small, is very cleverly furnished and organised, as is the entire hotel. As the name says, it‘s „petit“, so do not expect much space, but it‘s cozy and comes at a fair price. It‘s not „posh“ in the conventional way but has style, charm and a personal touch.

    For the shower, they provide you small towels daily so if you want a normal bath towel then bring your own.

    The location is pretty convenient, you have access to multiple lines and close to Seoul station. It's also walking distance from insadong area which has a ton of cute cafes and shops. The room itself was pretty roomy and clean. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. I think value wise this is a great hotel for what you're getting.

    The shower facilities was not the best I have experienced, as the whole bathroom would get wet after each shower, and there was very limited spaces between between the sink and the wall to stand and shower (the sink and shower is connected). The towels are moreover very small. They were barely big enough to put around my hair. Even though this is the case, I would still consider booking a room here again, as the remaining facilities was good.

    The location is good, the facilities in the room are nice, and there is everything you need. I was not able to hear guests in other rooms, and barely hear people in the hall way, which was nice. I felt very safe in the room as a female solo traveler.

    Not really a negative feature, but the rooms are a bit small so potentially not super comfortable for a long stay. For our 4 day stay it was perfect.

    The location is perfect, the staff really friendly and the hotel is new/refurbished and pretty stylish. Definitely recomendable.
