Nightmare
its totally a nightmare, the room is very old, dusty and the condition is poor. The desk is like an antique that no one clean it for ages. I am sure they don't change bed sheet for long time that you can see dust on your bed... Heater cannot change temperature and its always 30c in winter time, can't even sleep with such a hot environment ! Staff is rude and not helpful, we were just asking for route but her attitude was very rude, a very bad staying experience.

Will not stay in this hotel again
The room looks old, floor tiles and wall paint were dirty and fitted with old furniture. Was surprised that the toilet without door which is inconvenient for the family since there were 4 of us staying in a family suite . After requested to change room, they had accommodated me with a better room with door in toilet. Location wise very good as walking distance to shopping areas and train stations.

One specific staff in blonde hair had extremely bad service. She didnt answer any of our questions. She didnt even want to help on anything we tried to explain. The air condition at our room kept turning off early in the morning, for the 6full days. Extremely bad. Worst hotel i ever been among the same stars. HOTEL 8 Hours was much much better.

Pretty Good Hotel
This hotel is pretty good. It's within walking distance between myeongdong and it takes about 15 - 20 minutes to walk to Sejong statue. Very close to lotte department store and the food court was good. The stay was good as we weren't in the hotel during the day time. The standard room is quite small, once you walk in, there is 1 twin bed and 1 full. With in 2 feet the bed is from the bathroom. The bathroom is includes a bidet, no shower curtain but the tub was massive. There is a small closet in the corner next to the window, with a safe and a mini fridge. Sometimes during the midnight there would be a lot of noise due to the people singing at the bar or people eating a kbbq. But overall the hotel was quite good!

Good location
This is not the first time to book this hotel. Location is very convenience. Many restaurants, shops, market and convenience stores are nearby. Just a bit noisy at night maybe I live in lower floor. Overall it's good, I will go again and recommend to my friends.

4/10 Fair

Great area, not so great hotel
There was one room with two beds, a sofa (right neXtvto the beds so no leg room to actually use the couch), there was a huge "box" dominating one end of the room which turned out to contain the super high tech toilet. I hope you and anyone you are staying are happy with see through toilet doors and lighting so dim you have to keep the door open to pee! There's a bathroom that consist of a giant spa bath which takes up half the room (Ivsay room loosely because there is no door so it's more like an alcove). The shower pressure was great, but the shower head was terrible and only partially worked on one side. The sink and vanity take up another huge chunk of space the the room. There is a thin desk running along one wall that hardly has room to work on because there is an archaic PC computer for guest use on it. There is no privacy or space to move around and spending too much time in this room makes you stir-crazy. The only amenities are a tiny fridge, a safe we couldn't open, slightly melted hairdryer and a kettle. Towels were supplied in good order. The housekeeping was very good. The line ons of low quality but we never saw dirt nor dust nor bugs. So if all you are after is a clean room to rest your head, this is fine. Everything has lights, so much so that we had to go around and tape sheets of paper over the large glowing green screens just so we could sleep - bring an eye mask! They advertise laundry facilities but don't expect them.

Older hotel in a good location
When I first booked my reservation, I was wary of the previous reviews and wasn't sure what to expect. Reviews were mixed between good and horrible, so I prepared myself for the worst. Expedia had a great deal, so my family and I went for it, knowing we wouldn't be in our room except for sleeping anyway so even if the room was a disaster, at least we weren't going to be there a lot. But when we checked in (they accommodate late check-ins, our flight got in at midnight!, and the hotel staff speaks mandarin!), the check in process was brief, and we went up to our rooms. The hallways are kind of small with four rooms on each floor. We booked two rooms, and they were both surprisingly clean. Sure, the walls could use a new coat of paint, but the room was spacious with comfortable beds. My only issue was the layout of the bathroom, could really use a towel hook or a shower curtain that didn't stick to you while you were showering. But there's a jacuzzi, big mirror, and a good amount of table space. The hotel itself is on a smaller street with lots of restaurants, places to drink, and street vendors. It might not be appropriate for families with little children. It can get pretty loud at night if you sleep with the window open, but there's definitely lots to eat if you're a night owl or wake up in the middle of the night hungry. The hotel is a great location if you're looking to shop at Myeongdong, and it's close to different subway stations which makes it easy to get around.

Need to improve but location is good
The hygiene of the hotel was poor, long hair on bed and bath tub. The only good side of the hotel is the location, it is closed to airport bus stations, Incheon and Gimpo, metro rail line no. 1 & 3. About 10 minutes walk to myeong dong. Many local restaurants along the hotel.

Very nice and conveniently located hotel
Nice and conveniently located hotel, situated right across the street from Namdaemum, it provided short walking distance to MyeongDong, Seoul City Hall, and other popular visitor sites. And it is in between two different subway lines to make it simple to get around the city. There are lots of restaurants right outside so finding a meal was never a problem. Hotel staff are friendly and speaks English. The hotel and its rooms all have a modern look. It was a very nice, comfortable, and safe stay.

Good location
Location was good, right next to multiple subway locations. The cleaning lady mopped our room everyday so it was always clean. Everything was super spacious and a lot more advanced then we thought. Could use some fresh paint on the walls but our stay was pretty comfortable and we never had any issues.

4days 3 nights xmas trip
The hotel room's condition was much worse than the photos and no amenities were provided. The worst thing was there was a jacuzzi tub in the washroom but the water is not hot enough and the water pressure is very weak. And since there is no shower curtains either, in a large washroom like that, i was so cold during my shower. It was the worst experience I ever had.....

i'm loving it!
I'm a returned customer of the hotel. The location of the hotel is not just simply highly accessible to many of the attractions such as Myeongdong, Namdaemun Market, Lotte Youth Store etc. MRT stations for Line 1, 2, 4 (Dark Blue, Green, and Blue line) are just in 5 min walking distance. As for the hotel itself, it's tidy and clean as usual. Friendly FO staff and timely housekeeping services...

2/10 Poor

HORRIBLE!
This "hotel" was terrible. It was in actuality a tall motel. The room was uncomfortably small for myself, my wife, and our one-year old daughter. There was no space to store our luggage or the baby's stroller. Throughout the room, the walking space was just that, walking space. Maybe a foot and a half to walk throughout the room. My wife and I couldn't even pass each other in the aisle. We booked our reservation for I believe five nights, but only stayed for one. We are extremely dissatisfied with our stay there. While the employees were polite and tried to be helpful, they spoke very little broken english, and were often times lost in translation. The whole "pay in advance, no refunds" policy is probably the only way that this establishment makes any revenue at all, aside from being booked for one-night stands. The beds were firm and uncomfortable, and we got little to no sleep the only night we forced ourselves to stay there. Is there anyway at all to get at least a partial refund from this mistake?

2/10 Poor

A little bag of horrors in premier location.
The Pluses - The room is decently priced and sized. Hotel is walking distance from four trains, and is a 3-min walk from the Incheon Airport Bus stop (Namdaemun). Bathroom’s equipped with a jacuzzi tub. The mattress and pillows are comfortable. The staff spoke some English; I've also heard them converse in Mandarin and Japanese with other hotel guests. The Minuses - I'll start with rooms. I've made a request during the booking for a non-smoking room with double bed but there wasn't any available. They pointed to me that the booking option was for 2 single beds 'or' a double, emphasizing on the word "OR". They had also disposed of my bottle of cologne accidentally when they swapped my rooms, with no offer of an apology. Housekeeping; or the lack of. The room and furniture reaked of stale cigarette smoke. The bedsheets were stained. One had traces of blood on it and the other, dirt. I had a shock when I stepped on the bathroom mat with the bedroom slippers - I'm not too sure where they might have been. Toiletries were half-used when I checked in. Coffee stains from my daily morning coffee are visible on the cups when I returned to my room each day. Design and Condition. The rooms and furniture are tired. The showers were built away from the bathtub, so if you want to rinse after a soak in the tub, you'll have to wet the entire bathroom. They had also missed a morning call on the morn that I had to check out to head to the airport.
