“Private room and bathroom okay for the very cheap price.”
The location was so perfect, especially if you like taking buses which I recommend in Korea. Nearby to a few 24hr convenience stores and eateries. Bed was comfortable, aircon good and the staff were very responsive on messages and sorted out things I was missing very quickly like towels. Came with hairdryer. But for the price- good that it was a private room and bathroom.

So, what can I say about this hotel? Considering it's the cheapest option in all of Seoul with such a great location, it's generally good. The room itself is very nice, and overall we felt comfortable there. The staff is helpful, and the hotel has a microwave and a water cooler + your personal bathroom, which was really nice. Checking in is easy at any time of day.

“Shame on you bookings.com for advertising this place. What an absolute joke. Didn’t even spend the night here because of”
I liked nothing about this place. Would defintely not recommend this place. First of all there were no sheets on the bed which is so odd. The pictures are so deceiving of this place. There was a hole in the ceiling and mould all over the bathroom and door frames. I had to ask multiple times to give me some towels. The place was freezing cold, had to rely on the ondol which wasn’t good enough. We were unable to even stay one night because of all of the above. When asked the owner about above - I got nothing but excuses. Just piss poor really

“IT’S A SCAM!!!”
WARNING: SEVERE HYGIENE ISSUES Serious hygiene and health problems. There were cockroaches everywhere, including on the floor and in the bed during the night, making it impossible to sleep. This alone makes the accommodation unacceptable. The toilet was completely unusable. Every time it was flushed, the water rose and overflowed onto the bathroom floor. We could not use the toilet at all and were forced to leave the building and walk to nearby stations and restaurants. This went on for days and was extremely unhygienic and stressful.

I had a very pleasant stay here! For the price (around RM500+ for 5 nights), it was truly a steal. The room was comfortable, the private bathroom was clean, and the heater worked perfectly during the cold weather. The location is also super convenient, just a short walk to CU Mart, the bus station, and easy access to public transport. Overall, a great budget-friendly place to stay in Seoul. Highly recommended!

Very convenient to Seoul, and transport. Shopping close by also. Room was comfy, not elegant but appropriate for cost.

“Cheap, but dirty”
It is close to public transportation and in a area where there are lots of places to eat. It is very cheap, but I wouldn’t stay there again, since the room was so filthy and dirty.
