“Good location”
Really near Dongdaemum History & Culture Park exit 13 (3 min walk). Free cold water and drinks, coffee sachets, and microwave and hot and cold water dispenser in the lobby. Free luggage storage as well, although it is just the storeroom beside the entrance of the hotel (door is unlocked and may not be very secure…).

“Overall it was really nice. Just a simple hotel with nothing fancy but many great foods nearby.”
Location is perfect. Near to DDP train station that has 3 lines, near to malls, and many street foods nearby.

“Wonderful, love that it’s clean clean clean, modern decor, well priced in an excellent location”
No food is provided in the location, however at the entrance, one can help themselves to canned tea or water bottles and disposable chopsticks are provided for takeaway food bought outside to be consumed within the hotel. This is convenient when you want to head out immediately to explore and are not bothered with having breakfast on site. There are many food places surrounding the hotel anyway. Extremely well located if one can get past the fact that the hotel is in an alley way. Within minutes of wholesale shopping, Dongdaemun Cultural Centre and tube.

“Excellent location, convenient, clean and safe”
Very, very convenient location and a clean room. Really nice staff and we were able to store our luggage for a couple of days before our stay and after check-out. The room was pretty small but it had everything we needed and there was space for all four of our suitcases to be open at the same time. Free bottled water and soft drinks in the fridge at reception were an excellent addition!! We would absolutely stay again!

The location is right in the middle of 东大门, close to metro station exit 13. Catch line 4 to go to Seoul station. Helpful staff, though they don’t talk much, but very friendly and helpful. Never let you down.

The location was perfect with lots of food and shopping options within close proximity. While the hotel was located at a rather dodgy looking alley, i did not feel unsafe as a solo traveller even late at night as there were lots of regular shoppers and diners about. The room also had all the amenities you would need for your stay. They even provided free flow of drinking water, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel which all smelt really nice. Theer was also a hair dryer and straightening iron as well as brushes. And best of all, free Netflix subscription on a 55-inch LED Tv which beats some of what hotels in the area was offering. They also made up the room everyday and also allowed me to check in when I arrived at 2pm even though the site said check in was 6pm

“Basic clean hotel in central area of Seoul”
It seems like a love motel but one that is more normal and clean and attracts a range of clientele. Location is pretty good, right in the heart of Dongdaemun albeit down a not very nice alleyway. The staff were friendly. Room was clean and had all basic necessities such as smart tv, hairdryer, robes, slippers, general amenities kit, water. Decent value.

“Well-situated & new”
The room was well appointed with a range toiletries. Check-in was fast and easy (I don't speak Korean). The hotel is new and it shows. Great location — there's a jimjilbang in the shopping centre across from the hotel.
