Good internet and staff very helpful and nice. Not a fan of the rooms and shower too small and above the sink.
Breakfast was okay.
Well located in Myeongdong.
Great location, close by to the market and tourist spots and stations. Accessible to airport shuttle. Staff are accommodating. Simple breakfast provided. Nice hot showers.
Except for room insulation if you get somebody besides your room that are rowdy, I would come again.
Thanks!

Very small room and bathroom with shower above the sink so needed to adapt.
But great staff, very helpful and nice.
Breakfast was okay.
Well located.
Oh and free washing machine and drying racks so very helpful.
Second time I've been there, and I can tell you, definitely a good place to stay, very friendly and helpful staff, good size, good price, and good location, for people who's first time visiting Seoul myeong-dong is ideal
The staff is very friendly especially Cho Joon Lee who works late night and the elderly man who guards the door early morning smiles and wave at me each time i walk out the door or come back. Most of all they respect your privacy. I will definitely stay here again upon my return to Korea.

The breakfast was good as it provided a base meal for us during our stay each morning. We actually booked double bed deluxe room, but it turned out to be a single-sized bed. We stayed at RM 1110. This is a bit a disappointing.
Great accomodation for solo traveller or couple. Near myeong dong night market and train station as well. Convenient and walkable. Has decent breakfast but small dining area and can be crowded in the morning.
The location was perfect, right near two major subway lines and surrounded by great shopping. It’s ideal for anyone wanting to stay central on a budget. My room faced a busy street, so there was some noise, but it didn’t bother me much. The staff were very kind and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, a pleasant experience!
