Could have been better if they could provide more clothes hangers. Had to ask for a mug as ther was only one for 2 guests. The staff member was reluctant to provide another mug. Staff member was grouchy and unfriendly.

Room was tight for a couple of people with luggages but it was manageable and OK for a few nights stay. Hotel is a little on the older side but room and bathroom were clean. Daily housekeeping not provided but they had clean towels for you to change out when needed. Our only problem was the AC didn't blow out any cold air and there was no way to change the temperature or speed so we mainly had it on to circulate air. Thank goodness it wasn't too hot when we visited Seoul or else the temperature in the room would have been unbearable. Hotel is located in an alleyway but I never felt unsafe and it was conveniently located close to the train station.

A simple hotel, but I loved how easy it was to walk everywhere—restaurants, 7/11, trains, etc. It was quiet, felt safe, and while the room was basic, it was comfortable and cool when needed. The staff were friendly, and I have no complaints at all!

The rooms are small but very functional. Once you get last that, the location is convenient and the staff is very helpful. The lack of window may throw people off, but you get used to it pretty quickly. Specially after a tiring day out!

We had a no window room. Walls are paper thin; we could hear 2 neighbours very clearly, would have been 3 if we weren’t on a corner room. Extremely small room, our luggage took up half of the floor space. Beds were pretty bad, you can hear the springs as you move around for example. Hot and not enough air movement; we had an AC unit we had to always have on and it was hard to control temperature. Shower curtain was dirty with mold; couldn’t find a replacement as it was self cleaning service. We just didn’t use or touch the curtain. Shower temperature really hard to control, 1cm to far and it was cold or boiling. Free laundry which was awesome, but only 1 washer and dryer; got lucky since no one was using it when we did. Location was great; close to great restaurants, convenience store, all transportation. Self service station was close and convenient; like towels, garbage/recycling, etc. Lounge was decent; clean water dispenser, plenty of seating, microwave. Wifi was good. Stayed as a couple the access card has to be inserted in a slot when you enter the room to turn all power on, subsequently turned all power off when removed; was inconvenient when one person wanted to leave/stay. Overall it was ok, but wish we did more research before booking, no refunds.

For starter, this is more like a guesthouse than a hotel. You have to change towel yourself etc. However, there is room service, which you have to request physically at the lobby. Wall is thin, like if you have sex, people could literally hear outside the door. But once you inside, you can't really hear outside. Room is quite big for the price I paid, with mini fridge and decent space to pack my luggage. Location wise, it's 5 min walk near City Hall (green line) and Hoehyeon (Light Blue Line). About 10 mins walk to Myeongdong via above ground or fully sheltered. Also about 15-20 mins walk from Seoul Station, so I recommend you to walk here if you coming from there. You will walk pass Seoullo and Namdaemun Market. Food wise is good, there's a popular jap ramen stall just outside the building. Also a 24 hours must try kimchi soup place within 5 mins walk. Past night to about 1-2am, there will be lost of street vendors selling good BBQ food, also must try.

We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. Finding the hotel with Naver was easy. Just make sure to look for Irene City Hotel and not Irene Hotel. The check-in was a bit confusing. When we got there, there was no one at the front desk. However, there were 2 room cards that we tried and managed to find our room on our own. The room was perfect if you plan to use it to keep your luggage, get ready to spend the day outside, and sleep. The only thing we struggled a bit with was communication. The front desk was always empty except when we went to check out at 11 am. And when contacting the property via chat through Expedia a day before our arrival and during our time there we didn't receive a reply. This is important if you do not have a phone line service to contact the number provided. Overall it was very convenient location-wise and provided everything we needed during our stay.

The hotel is well-located, easy to find, and clean. Items like towels, toilet paper, and toothpaste are easy to find without needing to contact the front desk. It's a good palce to stay.

Precio muy elevado para lo que se ofrece, pude notar manchas en las toallas y sábanas, las paredes, muebles con manchas, aspecto sucio y deteriorado, incluso el aire acondicionado se le podía ver la suciedad adherida en la parte trasera del aspa. Las puertas del clóset y el baño rechinan terrible, tanto que puedes escuchar las de los cuartos vecinos siempre cuando las abren. No hay aislamiento de sonido, podrán escuchar perfectamente las conversaciones de las personas del otro cuarto o en el pasillo como si estuvieran en la misma habitación. Desafortunadamente hice mi reserva en este lugar dejándome llevar por las fotos que no tienen nada que ver con el lugar real😒 Lo único bueno fue el personal amable y que hay metro/paradas de bus cerca

場所は近くに南大門市場があり、明洞も乙支路入口駅も市庁駅も近く、ソウル駅も徒歩圏内です。私が宿泊した部屋のトイレとシャワー(浴槽あり)は広くて、シャワー中もトイレが濡れなくて良かったです。フロント階にタオルとカゴが置いてあるので、使ったタオルはカゴに入れ、必要なタオルを交換できます。廊下は人が話すと丸聞こえですが、私は気になりませんでした。立地や治安なども考えたら良い場所です。計りもありました(フロント周辺)また機会があれば泊まりたいです。

Me gustó que estaba muy bien ubicada. Es muy conveniente que siempre estas a unos pasos de transporte publico que te lleva a donde necesites, y estás a un par de cuadras caminando de Myeongdong. También con el limousine bus te deja desde el aeropuerto, cruzando la calle y puedes tomarlo de vuelta en la esquina a una cuadra. El staff fue claro y amable y no hubieron complicaciones. Lo que definitivamente no me gustó fue el baño. No habia tapete de baño y la regadera no tenía cortina por lo que cada vez que tomamos un baño era un desastre terrible. También el baño no tiene puerta, es un cancel de cristal como de baño público, asi que la privacidad es nula. Por último, las camas eran muy ligeras y baratas entonces se recorrían con tan solo girarte
