Great value for money! Although the room is compact (as is typical with most Japanese hotels), it is well-equipped and very clean. The breakfast is complimentary and surprisingly generous. Location is convenient—just a 5-10 minute walk from Gangnam Station, and there’s a direct bus to the airport right outside the door. Would definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Seoul!

The suites are very large and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. We did have a problem with a noisy air conditioning during our stay, staff were very helpful relocating us to different rooms, but we found this problem was present throughout all rooms we tried. It made it very hard to sleep. But otherwise this hotel was amazing.

Located in arts cultural district, right next to ssamzigil a 4 floors arts centric mall. There is a small mall annyoung insadong, attached to the hotel, mostly food outlets here which was convenient. Walking distance to myeongdong street market and to gyeongbokgung palace.
Staff were great and accomodated to our needs. Since it was winter the hotel shuts of the aircon, which made the rooms a little stuffy with little airflow. The staff were able to put in an air purifier which doubled as a fan...

Very beautiful and clean hotel. Staff and room service were great. We could hear some noise from the fridge and they replaced it straight away. Hotel is located at very convenient spot and all the touristic places are access by foot or public transport. We’d stay here again if we come back to Korea!

Conveniently located close Euljito station on Line 2, which helps with getting around Seoul m’s major attractions. He hotel staff are courteous. Rooms are a generous size, showers are large and there are water refilling facilities and microwave in common areas on each floor.

Loved everything about this hotel. It was close to the station, rooms were clean and comfortable. Special shoutout to Irene who helped me with a problem I had. Would definitely stay here again 💗

Richard was amazing and friendly, and even helped carry my bag up the stairs. I hadn’t read the notices and arrived without letting him know, but as soon as I called, he quickly made his way over to let me in.
Other than the number of stairs, which was a minor issue, the place as a whole has a vintage aesthetic reminiscent of hostels gone by. Adorned with faces and Post-it notes from previous occupants, it has a certain warmth about it that makes it perfect for a solo traveller.

This is a such a great little place.
It’s more like a hostel but super, super clean, so friendly and the location is in one of the funkiest places in Seoul. Walking distance to Hongdae and the main train station. Absolutely fantastic.

I've stayed here twice in the past year. I could definitely say this is my favorite hostel I've stayed at throughout my travels in the past 3 years. The staff are worth their weight in gold. They are so nice and connect with you on a personal level. They give the best recommendations on places to eat, drink, and explore. Shrek and Say-beok are so kind and really make sure that you feel welcome. They definitely make the place feel like a second home while you stay there. I hope to come back again...

Excellent location, very central and close to the main shopping area in Myeongdong.
The building seems quite new, and although the rooms are small, they are very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially with our late arrival.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Incredible room to chill and relax in. I was after a relaxing place away from crowds and tourists to decompress on a final leg of travel, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. It was a little hard to figure out which building I was in, but everyone was incredibly helpful considering I was unable to understand any Korean.
