Terrible hotel
Unbelievable terrible. Unclean bathroom, uncomfortable bed, very small tiny living room. With wosrt services i have ever met. DO NOT recommend this hotel at all. There are much more better choices in that area.

We recommend it
We liked our room. The location for us was also good since we are accustomed to take long walks.
My wife said it could have been a little bit cleaner but i think she is exaggerating

Luxury on a budget, would stay again.
Budget friendly hotel, the aesthetic of the hotel and rooms are very nice. We booked Suite and figured to have spa bath in the middle of the room but we were unfortunate to get one of the only suites without and it was also really not our style. (The green suite with pictures and frames all over the walls) fortunately the hotel accomodated us really nicely morning after and let us change to another suite that was almost top floor. All in all a good stay and for the price we paid you do get alot. Just keep in mind that the reality is a bit different from advertised pictures.

It’s a bit hidden but it’s within walking distance to everything you could want to do. Very close to a major street if you want a taxi or bus

Unique rooms, great location
I liked choosing the room upon checkin since they are all styled very different. Room looked great although upclose some more maintenance could be done. Nevertheless really enjoyed our stay, the location is great. Walking distance to several lively areas!

The location was central and great. The staff very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, and but especially during the night there were bad smells coming from the bathroom drains. There is no mirror in the room, there is no service light at the bathroom mirror, the TV was malfunctioning, lack of proper hangers, and during my stay for a few days there was no Wi-Fi in the room. The value for money is too high. I do not recommend this hotel

Underwhelming Experience
From the photos, you get to see how nice the rooms are etc. Each room have different concept etc. ONLY if you pay for the most expensive rooms available.
Which we did not know there is a difference in room concept. We paid for a normal queen size and room. And the room is nothing from the photos as advertised.
However to be fair, the room is fairly big enough to put luggage and walk around. The toilet and bath tub is big enough to roam around. That was the only thing that is positive from my experience.
The bed is another let down. I know the material under the bed sheet is suppose to prevent any stain for the mattress. But it is damn noisy as it sounds like plastic. Not comfortable to sleep on.
As for room service, nothing much was done. Bed sheets tugged in, no change in blanket nor bed sheets or pillow case. It was only after a few days later the room service changed the blanket and bed sheets.
Another encounter was after the first night we did not want the room service. But however despite putting the sign "Do Not Disturb" they still clean the room when we are not around. We had some valuables lying on the table etc. But lucky nothing went missing. From then on we just ask for room service everyday and keep our valuables.
In all, it is a average experience. Not so recommendable. Only stay if you are a Korea expert and know your way to nearby places and trains and you are fine with subpar hotel standards.

12/31에 10만원 중반대에 중심가에서 숙소를 잡을 수 있었다는 점이 좋았습니다. 숙소 바로 앞에 한방 전기구이 통닭을 파는데 저렴하고 맛있어요. 숙소는 4명이서 앉아서 먹고 수다 떨 수 있는 테이블이 필요했는데 딱 적당했습니다. 전체적으로 깨끗했어요. 다만 중심가라서인지 주차비를 1일 2만원 받는다고 하는데 예약할 땐 안내가 없어서 조금 당황했네요.

대실가능한 호텔인거 알았으면 숙박 안잡았을건데.. 수건에서 너무 냄새났고 얼룩도 너무 많아서 사용하기 힘들었어요
화장실이 유리문으로 되어있을 줄은 몰랐어요.. 침대 옆에 욕조가 있을 줄도 몰랐네요.. 그래서 자는 내내 물냄새가 나서 힘들었어요.. 그냥 난 진짜 잠만잘래. 하시는 분들은 가셔도 좋습니다....
