Great location and price, but the space is very very tight. Standard double room Not recommended for couples. And I truly hate the shower (kind of common in Korea) that's right there in the same space where the toilet is.

It is a budget hotel, so do not expect much. The toilet was filthy for my room at 513. Luckily, I only stayed for 1 night. I did not use the common areas but it was in disarray and cluttered.

Small room but reasonable for the price we paid. Staff was great, spoke good English. The area was convenient with subway stop just a steps away. The entrance is a bit odd, it’s located in what feels like an alleyway, but it felt safe. Walking distance to the night market and lots of good places to eat around. No issues storing our luggage before check in and after check out.

Wonderful staff. They were friendly and helpful. Let us check in early. The location is great as well. It is close to subway. You can use exit 7 or 10. 10 is advisable if you have luggages with you. There is an elevator you can use but you have to cross the street.

The property is slightly dated - there is visible wear and cleanliness issues. The rooms are small, but what makes up for everything is the amenities and the customer service. The staff are very helpful and supportive. Look im not easy customer. i made lots of requests to deal with the cleanliness on the first they. but they did bend over to help me achieve the cleanliness i wanted.

Compact room

The hotel provides basic amenities and breakfast @ 8-10am. Shower and toilet inside the room. Small side table and ref beside the bed. Kitchen and laundry in common area. Location is very close to a subway station (Euljiro 3-(sam)-Ga exit 7. Walking distance from Myeongdong and shopping streets. No problem with check-in.

Had a great time staying at this hotel. Stayed for 5 nights. Hotel staff was super nice,spoke English really well. Served simple breakfast; toast, cereal etc. We got the twin bed room, room was small (suitable for 2 Asian-sized girls). You need to put your bag on your bed to get clothes out but we didn't really mind. Bathroom was very clean, heated toilet seats with automated bidet. Since we stayed close to winter, heater was on full blast. Even floor was heated. So we were always warm and toasty in the room. There's a lift going up to the hotel (its on the 5th floor) so no need to worry about carrying luggage up the stairs. The hotel even has a washer/dryer. So you can do you laundry. Just need to pay a little extra (but its very cheap!) Location, very near to the Euljiro(3)-ga station. Go out from Exit 7, up the stairs. Turn back, police station is on your left. Walk a few steps, the turn left into the first lane. Hotel will be right in front of you (its next to a printing shop). Its not exactly facing main road, so its not too noisy. Although you can hear sirens occasionally. Nothing that bothered us. If you're just looking for a place to crash after a whole day exploring Seoul, this is the hotel for you. If you want somewhere you can relax the whole day in a hotel, better find somewhere else. Not suitable for families I would think as space is limited.

Good location to move around the nearby main trourist attractions, e.g. Namsan park, Dongdaemun, Namdaemun, Myeongdong. Same as what's mentioned by others, the room is just tiny but ok if you just need a clean place to sleep.

Convenient

It is a hostel and the room is tiny but has it's own bathroom built in so great for a clean place to stay overnight. If you are not ambulatory or physically steady, this may not be the place for you. There is little to no floor space so you have to climb on the bed(s) to get around the room.
