Good: Room in great condition and wonderful staff. Conveniently attached to a convenience store with proximity to three train lines. To improve: Toilet bidet did not appear to function in my room. Room was too hot (26⁰C). No way to cool aside from opening the window. Street noises are too loud to keep window open while asleep.

The location is good. Very accessible via bus or train. You also get a discount at the cafe attached to the hotel. If you are staying on a Sunday there is flea market close by The only problem we had is that during our stay, another guest was smoking inside their room and the smoke would go through the vents. We had to quickly leave the room as we have a toddler with us and prefer not to inhale second hand smoking. I'm not sure if it's implied "no smoking indoors" that's why there are no signs for it. But I do hope they indicate it somewhere. This didn't just happen one time, this occurred at least 3-4 times during our 10-day stay.

Great place to stay at a reasonable price in this area of Seoul. The breakfast that was included was excellent, offering both western and Korean inspired options. Staff and cleaners were very considerate and left extra towels and water outside of our room while we were out. I would consider staying here again in the future.

This hotel was near the Sinseoldong Subway Station making it very easy to get to places by public transportation. Across the road from the hotel between the hotel and the subway station was a really excellent restaurant, Hymchan Jangeo. Something really nice about the hotel: there was a foreign currency exchange machine right in the lobby. Very convenient. The only complaint that I have is that the room was a little bit cramped. Given all the other positives, however, I really recommend this hotel.
