Very comfortable hotel. Not the cheapest, but it definitely could've been more expensive. Easily reachable by bus and metro, but not within walking distance of any of the main neighborhoods. One thing that did bother us was the smell of smoke, but that's not true for all rooms.

The A/C is controlled by the TV remote. Took me 3 days to discover that. Area looks rough but all the areas look that way. Overall a good stay. I would do again

HORRIBLE. DO NOT STAY. Non smoking “suite” reaked of smoke, uninhabitable I had to leave immediately and book another hotel elsewhere for health concerns. Expedia is USELESS and will not advocate for you. When they reached out to the property, they claimed to not speak english and would not approve a refund. SHAME ON EXPEDIA AND THIS HOTEL!!!!!

Room was clean and a very good value. Sufficient in size for a brief stay to visit a child attending Yonsei U. Very convenient walk to the university and surrounding area, and bus 6002 from the airport drops you directly across from the hotel. This is a local hotel, so don't expect the amenities or service of a big western hotel chain, but it was perfect. I will stay here again on my next visit. Note that AC is not available until May.

Location is great, I really appreciate all the staff since they are helpful, respectful and one can speak English. Room is decent size but bathroom has no door. But all of the positive side cancels out because the room smells cigarette eventhough I requested a non smoking room. The smell is coming out of the vent in the bathroom and from the centralized AC vent in the room, so I have to open the window during my stay. Overall, it was not a comfortable stay which ruined some part of my travel in Korea. This hotel should’ve been advertised as smoking hotel.

Really good options for public transportation, affordable, and lots of amenities offered (free laundry, breakfast, water and pop available in the lobby at all times.) you could tell the manager was doing his best to ensure everyone enjoyed their stay.

Overall this was a solid hotel. Conveniently located in the area I needed to be in, with good shopping, dining and transit options close by. Staff was friendly and helpful; for example on the last day when the elevator wasn’t working and I was trying to bring my bag down from the 5th floor, the front desk person heard me and immediately came to assist. However, the room did smell very strongly of cigarette smoke, which other reviews had mentioned and said no resolution was offered so I didn’t bother to report, and the bathroom had mildew on the ceiling. Otherwise, it was fine for what I needed…an inexpensive, clean place for a couple days. The room had a phone charger in it already, which was nice, and a jetted tub, which I enjoyed. If the smoke smell in the rooms was eliminated, I would consider another stay here.
