To be clear, this hotel is located more on the northwest border of Myeongdong and not right around the shopping street/station. It's about a 15-20 minute walk away. Initially, we wanted to stay in the heart of Myeongdong to be close to the “action.”That would have been a mistake. This place was FAR better. Quietly tucked away from the main street (thus, quieter), you are still surrounded by many eateries and shopping. You’re a 5-minute walk from the City Hall metro stop (1 stop from Seoul Station), Namdaemun Market, and Deoksugung Palace. If you’re so inclined, you can walk 25 minutes up the main road past the statues of King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sun-sin to Gyeongbokgung. Otherwise, there’s a bus stop less than 5 minutes away that will take you directly there. The hotel has very nice service and all the amenities you need for your stay. Staff is very welcoming and spoke good English. The laundry facility was especially helpful. We booked the Family Suite which was just right for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids 10 and under). It has a double bed and a twin. I didn't get to try to the breakfast, but it looked delicious. I'm happy I made the choice to stay here. Would definitely stay again.

Nice quiet comfortable hotel with smaller rooms. Only compliant is that the frosted glass bathroom door lit up the whole room when others were trying to sleep.

I came here alone for a 6 night stay during my stay at Seoul. The room was clean and well decorated. It’s perfect for 1-2 people as the room was a bit small. Some things that I didn’t like: (1) Your room gets cleaned every 3 days unless you request for other days (2) When they clean the room, they do not clean the used cups or refill the tea/coffee (3) You have to go through a little alley street to get to the hotel. It could be quite intimidating if it’s too late into the night as it’s dark. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here as it was reasonably priced and close to places I wanted to go to.

I stayed in 3 different rooms over my time (from personal stay to tour group rooms). The shower was great in the first room, but kept falling off the hook or spraying everywhere in the next two rooms. The floor was also carpet in only one of the rooms. For cleanliness, I appreciated the laminate flooring more and wish they were all like that.

Great location, City centre train station just a few minutes walk. A 15 minute walk to Meyong-dong walking street for the night time street food, shopping and people watching. The only issue was the ‘hot’ items were always cold until the last morning of my stay. It’s almost like the hot plates were not turned on. I was there for breakfast as soon as the restaurant opened so it’s not like the food had been sitting around for long. For a budget hotel I thought it was great value in a suburb location.

I booked at this location because it was central to everything and uptown. It was close to the two main subway lines that can take you anywhere. It’s close to the Myeong-dong market. There are two 7/11 stores near this hotel to pick up refreshments. This hotel also has a WOWPASS machine, which is excellent if you want a combo prepaid debit/T-money card. Staff was friendly and room AC was godsend. It is a bit noisy in the hallway, especially for those coming home late. I would stay at this hotel again.

Very average hotel. We stayed 5 nights they only clean the room once and towels changed just 1 time. Lundry was out of order for 3 days and every day staff were telling us it would be fix today and it never did.we had to take all our dirty clothing to the our next stop.
