Great area, property is clean and basic. Itโ€™s a very small room but meets the expectation for the price. I would prefer more outlets. There is only one outlet and in a severely inconvenient location. No outlets in bathroom or near a mirror to do your hair. We had to plug our phones in and leave them on the floor at the foot of the bed, because the outlet was under the bed at the foot of the bed. There is no counter space in the bathroom either to be able to put personal grooming items or makeup. Laundry was available but quite small and the cost was 20000krw/14.50 usd for one load. The window also had a blind that didnโ€™t keep the light out so it was hard to sleep in, in the morning due to the bright sunlight. The buildings as mentioned by others does not have an elevator so if you have several bags or heavy bags the haul up the stairs is brutal.

Definitely recommend this location for your next trip to Seoul. Great location in the center of where the action is. Surrounded by the best food, shopping and nightlife. This is a no thrills hotel if all you need to do is sleep and shower.

Loved how close we were to everything! Location is very ideal we found! Room size was not bad at all compared to other places! Room could use a good cleaning there was a lot of dirt and dust everywhere even found some on the corner of our bed when we checked in, bathroom had some mould and there are no elevators so had to carry all our luggage up and down the stairs. I think with some renovations this place would be excellent! Would comeback for the location ๐Ÿ˜Š
