“Hyvä Backpackerille”

Hyvä ja halpa hotelli, sitä käytetään paikallisten ystävien rakkaudeksi, mutta huoneet ovat siistejä ja moderneja. Lähellä palatsialueella sisäänkirjautuminen oli todella nopeaa. Se on kadulla, mutta hotelli on todella valaistu eikä näytä varjoisilta. 8/10 Jatkaa uudelleen.

“Pretty good deal, recommended”

I give this place a 5 because their current average ratings which seems to draw on years-old reviews seems unwarranted. It's a place with charm and quirkiness -- maybe it does not deserve an unreserved 5 but surely a very well-deserved 4.5. Especially if you take into account that the price you pay… lisää

I give this place a 5 because their current average ratings which seems to draw on years-old reviews seems unwarranted. It's a place with charm and quirkiness -- maybe it does not deserve an unreserved 5 but surely a very well-deserved 4.5. Especially if you take into account that the price you pay (which includes the breakfast) is eminently reasonable. The hotel these days seems mostly frequented by Westerners and younger ones at that. The reception area has plenty of seats and free wifi so you can plot your next move without having checked in (yet). Small snacks, tea, coffee, and water are available for free. Nice. Our room, on the second floor, had a window only in the (very large and functional) bathroom and that window gave view to a huge construction site. The room itself was well appointed, clean, and the bed was comfy. The wifi worked flawlessly and so did the tv which unfortunately has no English-language news channels, or at least I did not find any after I flipped through the first 175 channels. The breakfast room is large and bright and quirky as well - all the way to record covers of the Beatles' Let It Be and Abbey and numerous other paintings and pictures which are accompanied by inspirational quotes. The food offerings are very Korean -- no omelettes -- but you find a mix of hot and cold dishes and a couple of waffle irons. The espresso machine did not work when we stayed there and the coffee was a bit on the weak side. (There is an espresso machine upstairs in the reception area.) The location is excellent - in a quiet street with good restaurants and just a 5-minute walk from the Cheonggyecheon Stream, an examplary urban re-development project. (Check it out on wikipedia). The hotel is about a 10 minute stroll to the Myeong-dong area and in any case there are many food alleys all over the place. Access to the Metro (Line 1) is about ten minutes. Service can be temperamental and has upside potential for at least a couple of the reception staff. We had inquired about early check-in and were informed by the reception in writing that that had been "approved" but when we arrived were told that we could not check in before 3 - which was irritating because we had arranged for a eating and drinking tour through the alleys of downtown Seoul that started at 2. But overall, we can recommend this place and would not hesitate to stay there again.

“Just correct hotel”

Correct medium hotel that could be great but it's just correct. The rooms have been renewed, and toilet is big and new, it's very well located, and offers coffee and water all day at the reception. The superior double room they gave to us has not propely a window, in fact, window is in the toilet!!… lisää

The superior double room they gave to us has not propely a window, in fact, window is in the toilet!! And the room is so small that you can't open the suitcase. The common areas are plenty of nonsense old furnitures and they have small patio that could be great but it's neglected and also a dirty and unattended terrace. Breakfast is included but options are very limited and they made you clean your table and recycle waste after eating. The problem is clear lack of work and sevice.

“Nice Stay”

Large Rooms, beds and pillows are a bit uncomfortable. The Bathroom is so big!!! Breakfast is good, but the lack of chocolate is notable! Very kind Staff, let us check in a lot earlier than normal. Free espresso in the reception. Very close to insadong Street!
