Not worth the price paid. The room was very dusty, including the bed, floor, and bathtub, which wasn’t even scrubbed, leaving stains and dust. Very disappointed and unimpressed. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay there. They only provided one towel for two guests.

Good location - Average hotel

Good location. Not a great hotel. The room given had no door handle, just a hole in the door where the handle used to be, so the door couldn't be closed. We were able to change rooms. They also charge a fee to leave your luggage for a couple of hours after checking out. I have never heard of a hotel charging a fee to hold luggage.

The room was clean and maintained well. Extra charges for basic items, such as shampoo and body wash, makes me feel uneasy. They should do better job in keeping the hall way more presentable. Not only the room, the front desk and hall way are the first impressions to the guests.

Walls are thin and past midnight lots of loud people in the hallway. Lighting in the hallway is dark as we walk towards our room. There is no shower curtain in the bathroom so water everywhere after use. One elevator is old and just patched with brown paper around it. Lobby is very small. If you want to stay in cheap and convenience around Hongdae then this might be it but I didnt feel safe. The rooms looked like a dorm.

Staffs are helpful and efficient. Location is convenient with many dining options, nearest Hongik Univ subway station is 7 min. walk away. Drawbacks are... room is small for 4 adults, not enough space for 4 mid size luggages. Room lightings are insufficient, a bit dim even with all lights turned on. Toilet glass door is only partially glossed, hence can see through inside.
