Shower door opened straight into the bedroom and would basically hit the bed so water would leak everywhere onto the floor. Sink, toilet, and shower are all in one area so once you shower you would be unable to go back inside to do anything or else your feet would get soaking wet. Absolutely no privacy as the bathroom is barely opaque and almost see through. Room had nowhere to sit and was dirty. Old building with elevator doors that close on you. There was also nowhere to sit/ barely any room to fit more than 2 small suitcases. Would recommend staying somewhere else. Only plus is that it is super close to shops and entertainment.

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.
