Great location, friendly staff, cute hotel!
A friend and I stayed for two nights and it was a really cute hotel. The bed was comfortable, shower was nice, amenities great and the location was perfect! The only thing is we found a used condom on the floor next to the bed so that was gross but the staff was super friendly. Oh and also the stairs were full of towels, etc so it was hard to go up the stairs. We just took the elevator every time. Definitely would stay again and recomend the hotel.

Not a good option for rest or sleep
We arrived for check in at around 7 pm. We were told we had the option between two rooms: a small one which was ready right away and a slightly larger one that would be ready in five minutes. We viewed the smaller room and refused right away. We decided to wait five minutes to view the larger room. It was no better. This review is based on a quick viewing of the first room (room 301) and a very brief stay in the second room (room 302). Our room had a mirror on the ceiling above the bed, holes in the wall to the right of the bed (which were covered up with tissue), the smell of cigarette smoke and perfume, a poorly functioning sink faucet that poured (not just leaked) water all over the sink area and floor, and fair amount of mould on the washroom tiles and walls. (To be clear, the holes in the wall were created when a fixture was removed; they were not “peeping” holes. Nevertheless, they added a strange feeling to the room.) The staff seemed sincere, but their friendly service did little to address issues of comfort. (When we expressed concern about the smell of smoke and perfume in the first room we viewed, the older gentleman’s response was that we should have booked a different hotel. He wasn’t rude when he made the suggestion. He appeared to be genuinely trying to let us know that we would not feel comfortable in the hotel.) This “hotel” was a terrible option for us, and we left within the hour.

World's best hotel Director
Hotel Director Jeongwon Daniel Lee went above and beyond to help us during a difficult situation. He was also on call to assist with any needed English translation with the staff. Everybody was very friendly and accommodating. Exceptional bedding. A great choice when traveling on a budget.

Hotel?
The hotel is misrepresented. This is a small motel, with a bit of deco. The room is small. There is no space for luggage, no closet, and only one hanger behind the door. Good location if you could not find a reasonable room near Hongik or Erwa university.

Good hotel near Yonsei University
Great value for money; good wifi; espresso machine in lobby; great location near Yonsei University and restaurant area; close to Metro station. Only negatives were that rooms were on the small side and bathroom toiletries were not that great. While staff spoke little English, it was enough to be understood.

recommend but ...
Overall it was an okay stay which friendly and english speaking staff. Some bullet points: + close to a subway station + nice room including the bath + very traditional (gave me house-shoes for the room, dressing gown, ...) - no closet in the room - housekeeping is only once per stay which is not a big thing for a 2-day-stay, however I stayed 7 days which was annoying, - drain of the sink was leaking and dropped on the floor

Decent hotel at a decent price
Although the rooms and facilities were all fine, this hotel is located in a fairly seedy neighbourhood with a lot of love motels and the likes. While it may be fine for young couples, families or people looking or a place to put up their friends may want to take this into consideration.

I will definitely stay in this hotel again!!
I stayed in Hotel M's cheapest room with my girlfriend for about four nights. It was a beautiful clean room which had A/C, a small couch, a computer, a large TV mounted to the wall (with some English channels!!), a small fridge and a great bathroom. Although the room was small, there was space to put our bags underneath the counter next to the fridge and under the TV so we didn't feel cramped at all. The room had dim coloured light which you can turn on at night while you sleep which was relaxing. In addition, throughout the foyer and corridors to your room quiet piano music was played which made the place feel very fancy for such a reasonably priced hotel. We had no difficulties communicating in English to the staff which was a stress reliever as it can be a challenge sometimes when you are abroad. They were always very helpful. The location of Hotel M is excellent. It is only a few minutes away from Sinchon Station and it is a short walk to great bars and restaurants. I give the Hotel M 100% rating and I will definitely be back!

You don't even have to think twice!
Firstly, I personally love the layout and the design of the interior as well as the exterior of the hotel. Even though it is not a big hotel, however, I feel that the size is just right for me. The spacing on the floor are quite limited though.. So I left my luggage on the couch that's located right outside the washroom! When I'm in the room of the hotel I felt very comfortable, on top of that, some of the hotels are super dark and scary, but for a timid lady like me, I've never once complained that I feel scared or creepy neither do I have difficulties sleeping at night during my long stay in M hotel with my boyfriend for my very memorable 21st birthday. Even though the staffs there can't speak English at all, but the boss there knows how to speak fluent English and this makes everything so much more easier especially when we have to communicate to request for any special service etc! The only bad thing about the hotel is the location. The hotel is located quite far away from the subway station. But the nearest subway station is still very convenient if we want to travel to any tourist attractions like Dongdaemun, ewha university, Hongdae university, myeongdong etc... Adding on, What's more can we ask for when we could have all these good advantages and we're just paying less than SGD$100 a night? Totally worth it! Will definitely come back to M hotel again for my next Korea trip! **two thumbs up*

部屋は良かったですがセキュリティが…
特に不便無く過ごせました。部屋は十分なスペースがあり、エアコンもしっかり効いてたしシャンプーリンスの質も良かったと思います。大きめのテレビもついててYouTube見れました。騒音も特に無し。 ただ掃除があまり行き届いておらず、パッと見綺麗でもよく見ると前の宿泊客の細かいゴミが残ってたり、新しいはずのタオルに髪の毛が付いてたりと気になる所がありました。 またセキュリティ面でも、0時を過ぎると2階の正門は施錠されるのに1階の外のガレージに繋がる扉は開きっぱなしで実質誰でも出入りできる状態でした。私の部屋の目の前だったのでそこが少し怖かったです。
