We only stayed to sleep here. Good value. The place is small but is good enough for a couple. Place is modern. Bed is comfy. Sure close to places to eat and drink but this is inan area where people drink and go for night out in Seoul so I would not recommend for families or ladies travelling by themselves at night. If youre a couple, it's somewhat fine.

Great stay for 3 days!
Great stay in a quiet and narrow street but close to many restaurants and metro/tube station. The Main Street is busy at night each day but cannot be heard from the rooms. Breakfast is free and fine for western travellers (coffee, toast, fruit).

Disliked: Cleanliness
It's been many years since I was last assigned such a dirty room. For me, it doesn't matter if it's a big room and a beautiful bathroom when it's not actually clean. There was hair, toothpaste stains and food crumbs lying around. Dirty and unclean, just plain awful. This hotel was also one of the more expensive hotels I booked, but I have to say that I've stayed in hotel rooms for half the price and they've been clean. So I'm really glad I was only there for 1 night and will never have to stay there again. I can also mention that the first thing that hit me when I opened the door to the hotel room was that there was an extremely strong "washing chemical" smell. So intense that it was hard to breathe. That made it extra "impressive" and surprising that it was so dirty.

Very comfortable hotel in old Seoul
Very comfortable hotel based in strategic position of old Seoul. The hotel is based just 10 min by foot from subway line 1 and 3, close to hundred of mini market and restaurants. Nice location for tourists but the room are comfortable even for people like me that visit for Business. Wifi in the room is very good. The hotel declares no breakfast included but actually they offer every morning a nice selection of salad, egg, bread, fruits, jam, juice and coffee.

The hotel is a few minute walk to the bus and metro station. When I checked out I could leave the suitcases at the hotel. The staff were really helpful! When I asked if they had a space to freshen up, they gave me a key to a room! All credits to the staff. I could really recommend staying there!

Boutique hotel in quite ally. Super close to public transportation or walk to almost all touristic attractions, as it’s located in the middle of everything. Modern style easygoing and accessible stuff, clean and super convenient. Rooms are super small though so if you are looking for spending time in your room maybe not right place for you. Otherwise, highly recommending! Would stay here again!
