Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff didn't seem so friendly and accommodating. Wish they were to make my stay enjoyable and comfortable. I would come in and out of the hotel and the person at the front desk always looked stressed and did not give at least a smile or a nod. If you just need a place to sleep, this place is good as it is conveniently located INSIDE the myeongdong shopping street, with lots of dining options outside of the hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is perfect as it’s near enough central to the main shopping area. The staff were friendly and while there was a language barrier they showed no frustration. As the hotel is in a building with other businesses a couple of restaurants to be exact I was able to meet people. Felt completely safe I smoke and would go outside at 1pm-3pm as I sometimes suffer from insomnia and never once felt at risk- I am aware not everyone may have this experience but for me the location the facilities and the people were perfect.

Great location near a local market. Close to common transportation. The rooms are very small and there is a slight smell hanging around, but it’s overall a good cheaper place to stay.

Everything was excellent. The only bad thing was that I couldn't bring friends or family to my room when I paid so much money to stay for 9 nights and 10 days. They have to improve on that, but afterward everything was wonderful.

Worst “hotel”
This place was not as expected at all. Check in is exactly at 3pm, no one will even be at the counter a minute prior. While I was checking in there was so much construction going on and wires hanging from the ceiling. The hotel is near a cosmetic surgery facility, so the rooms are being used as recover stays for patients. No actual visitors are staying there. They don’t provide actual towels. They only give you a small face towel. The restrooms are located are public, so any business on that floor has access to it! I was so uncomfortable, I ended up leaving a couple hours after check in. I wish I could get a refund!

Not really a hotel
The customer service is very unfriendly. There is nothing much in this hotel. Its just for sleeping and bathing. i have 3 hotels on this Seoul Trip and i think this is the worst. the towels are very yellowish not white anymore. The toilet is very small its like you shower area and toilet area are together. They dont clean the room during 5days stay. While my other accomodation they clean everyday.

The room picture is misleading. The room area turns out too small. The cleanness is poor. There is yellow dirt on the bed. This is a motel actually. The location is good if you don't mind all the above.

Don't go
Stayed for 1 night in shared dorm. No air con in the afternoon and there was no window, making it unbearable to stay in the room. Extremely dissatisfied with the shower, it seems like they share the same boiler for the shower, so when there were others taking shower at the same time, you don't get hot water, water would suddenly become super hot or super cold and the water pressure was not good. Most difficult time in life to take a shower. Additionally, when checking in, the staff mentioned multiple times on keeping the facilities undamaged or they would charge you extra, and it felt like they are assuming you would break something or so.

Only has public washroom but great location
CONS: The front desk guy is very rude. Always cuts me off when I am speaking. Knocks and comes into the room to turn off AC even if I was still in the bedroom. I talked to him about it but he kept doing that. I even asked if the use of AC is timed, he said no. But he still went in to turn it off, multiple times. NO SHARED WR(Toilet) FOR DORMITORY. This hostel is on the 4th floor of a commericial building. There are other offices in the bldg so you will be using public toilet because they only have wash area inside the dormitory. PROS: Great location. It is in the heart of Myeongdong. Clean dormitory.
