Relaxing but needs a cleaning and better breakfast
Check in was fast and easy. Comfortable bed and a deep tub make for a great way to relax after a day of walking. It would be a good idea to deep clean between visitors. Got to my room and there's long strands of brown hair on the provided hairbrushes and on the bedding (note: I have short blue hair). The bathtub has mold growing around the edges and the dip in between tub and wall has a pool of water in it, letting water collect. The site also claims a free English breakfast with your stay, but your options are toast with 3 choices of toppings, tea or coffee, and little packets of crackers/biscuits. Very bare minimum effort.

You get what you paid for. Although it was cheap, i liked how close it is to a subway station, how quiet the hotel was, the staff was neither rude nor friendly which i didnt mind whether they greeted me or not. The bathroom had mold, seemed like they just made the bed and never changed the sheets, "breakfast" was only a toast and tea or milk or coffee (i didnt mind the breakfast so much)

Both Urban and Friendly
It was a nice little hotel. Friendly and attentive staff. Close to both the subway, bus stop and convenience store. I had the added bonus of a tub. Had the best sleep away at a hotel.

Staff were very friendly and helpful despite the language barrier. Accommodated to our requests and helped us with late night food delivery. Hotel is near Bomun station, which is also somewhat easy to excess to other popular stations like Hongdae and Dongdaemun. There are cafes nearby as well; and there is a Korean BBQ place which was real good and affordable (access from the back of the hotel, turn Left, walk straight). There is also an item-catcher arcade opposite the street which is a MUST to go if you’re into such things. The owner is awesome and friendly. Overall, the hotel is well-located and staff are nice. It was an excellent stay for my friends and I.

We booked this place as the photos online looked great. When we got there, the room had not been cleaned properly, and after complaining we got an upgrade. The Superior Room has a nice bath and a comfortable bed but there’s a big noise outside the window and the window blinds do not stop the light coming through.
