連泊中、毎回受付のスタッフの方が皆さん優しかったです。英語ができる優しいスタッフの方もいました。英語が通じなくとも皆さんこちらの言いたいことを理解しようとしてくれました。受付のスタッフは若い方が多い印象でした、何かあればいつも柔軟に対応していただけました。優しい皆さんのおかげで充実した旅行になりました。また泊まりたいと思います。 お部屋は隅々まで掃除できているかと言われるとそうでもないですが、連泊中は毎日簡単に掃除をして頂けたので特に気になりませんでした。 毎日無料の飲み物やお菓子が置いてあり嬉しかったです。また朝の時間に1階に行くと食パンが置いてありトースターで焼くことができます。

Relaxing but needs a cleaning and better breakfast

Check in was fast and easy. Comfortable bed and a deep tub make for a great way to relax after a day of walking. It would be a good idea to deep clean between visitors. Got to my room and there's long strands of brown hair on the provided hairbrushes and on the bedding (note: I have short blue hair). The bathtub has mold growing around the edges and the dip in between tub and wall has a pool of water in it, letting water collect. The site also claims a free English breakfast with your stay, but your options are toast with 3 choices of toppings, tea or coffee, and little packets of crackers/biscuits. Very bare minimum effort.

You get what you paid for. Although it was cheap, i liked how close it is to a subway station, how quiet the hotel was, the staff was neither rude nor friendly which i didnt mind whether they greeted me or not. The bathroom had mold, seemed like they just made the bed and never changed the sheets, "breakfast" was only a toast and tea or milk or coffee (i didnt mind the breakfast so much)

Both Urban and Friendly

It was a nice little hotel. Friendly and attentive staff. Close to both the subway, bus stop and convenience store. I had the added bonus of a tub. Had the best sleep away at a hotel.

Excellent

Staff were very friendly and helpful despite the language barrier. Accommodated to our requests and helped us with late night food delivery. Hotel is near Bomun station, which is also somewhat easy to excess to other popular stations like Hongdae and Dongdaemun. There are cafes nearby as well; and there is a Korean BBQ place which was real good and affordable (access from the back of the hotel, turn Left, walk straight). There is also an item-catcher arcade opposite the street which is a MUST to go if you’re into such things. The owner is awesome and friendly. Overall, the hotel is well-located and staff are nice. It was an excellent stay for my friends and I.
