Pleasant staff, convenient location. Being steps away from a subway exit was a huge plus. The street can be busy at night, but it's part of the charm. I also prefer firm beds so it didn't bother me. Let staff know if you want the room cleaned.
I'll be sure to come back someday!
I’m sorry to write that the hallway and elevator had a smell. It was both dirty as well. My room was mostly quiet but with very little frills. The view from the tiny window was blocked but it remained dark which was a good thing when fighting jet lag. I walked by an opened door to the rooms on the other side and it looked nicer and brighter. It looked liked it had a little better amenities than my room as well.
The hotel was at one of the best locations. The room wasnt big but enough to fit 2 people. The bed was hard like sleeping on the floor but its okay if you sleep on your back.
Suggest to bring ear plugs as the hotel faces one of the main streets so it gets pretty loud til about 2am.
But the hotel's location makes up for everything. If youre under 30, this is perfect for you, right across from bars, food street and shopping.
Our room was absolutely filthy! There were somebodies socks, earrings and bottle cap lids underneath our mattress. There were also crumbs and layers of dust everywhere, even on the walls. Our room absolutely stank and our bed sheets had blood stains all over them. We complained to the manager downstairs who tried to help by changing our bed sheets and hoovering but we kept finding more dirt. He also walked all over our bed with his shoes on whilst ‘cleaning’. We were unable to move rooms that night as it was midnight and he couldn’t do anything else for us. We immediately moved to the hotel next door and Jongno Makers x Pretty hotel and Expedia have refused to give us a refund for their terrible service and standards.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Really hard beds and no chair, closet or other furniture in room. Otherwise location was close to many sites, metro and eating. Bathroom was good enough. Staff spoke English but not smoothly. Fair price.

Great location next to metro entrance. Multiple restaurants and cafes in that area. Room would need bit update and bathroom was bit dirty but still okey.
Do not stay at this property if you want a nice stay. The area is amazing but lively at night and loud.
The room was grubby, mouldy and stuffy. The bathroom smelt bad and I felt very unsafe for the duration of my stay. The bed was honestly the hardest thing I have ever slept on. We stayed at 4 other places during our trip to Korea and nowhere else had beds like this.
The foyer is okay but the lift and corridor smells strongly off rancid fatty food. We think this was a re-fitted motel/love hotel. Avoid if possible.
This hotel is okay for the short term. It’s missing important things for long term stay like laundry service and daily room cleaning services. Its location is very convenient however. It is also quite small. I still enjoyed my stay though. There are other options in the area at the same price point that are more flushed out in services. Good for the short term this place is.
Bed was hard. There was a hole in the wall on the 10th floor and One night around 11pm another guest opened the door to my room with a key . Otherwise it was fine
Perfect location right near subway and lots of the things you gotta see in Seoul. Seems like the area would be lively all night but I was on the 8th floor so no problems. Clean room, could connect netflix! All I could ask for a fast paced trip to Seoul!
Excellent value and very good regardless of price. Stay away if you’re picky. Well-used but clean and proper. All of the necessary amenities. Location and price are dynamic duo.
Great location with lots nearby, but that comes along with a good bit of street noise at night so request a room on the alley side of the building and/or be prepared to bring earplugs if that’s going to bother you.
Other than that one note it’s a perfect spot to check out central Seoul. Super clean, great staff, nice rooftop to hang out on.
Super convenient Hotel with subway access right outside. It’s also walkable to a lot of areas and there are numerous restaurants and bars right outside

Liked: Room comfort
It was fine as long as you don't care for regular room service. It was comfortable but quality is lacking. Great location
If Kawasaki Warehouse, the old arcade in Japan modeled after Kowloon walled city, could become a hotel then this would be it. This place has a great location and the staff is super sweet. We could borrow umbrellas when it was raining and answered any questions we had. The room was clean where it mattered. The place is really for locals and patrons of other Asian countries, and we rather enjoyed that local flavor. I figured when I booked this place that it was either a cute boutique hotel, or a love hotel. It probably used to be boutique and then got sold to a different owner. Someone really loved this hotel at one point in time because there’s so much amazing attention to detail and style. Now it seems the restaurant downstairs is the primary income maker and thus more attention is spent on that. Since it’s on pretty much the bourbon street of Korea, there will be night markets late into the evening which actually weren’t that loud, but music started at midnight and went till about 5 PM. Maybe that music came from the downstairs restaurant which turns into a club. Who knows we didn’t investigate. The rooftop is awesome and gives views of the area. It’s peaceful. No one really used it so we enjoyed having coffee up there. It has a cute camping theme but items on the roof are deteriorating from years of being in the sun, likely forgotten by the current management. Still was a highlight for us. It was an ok hotel but would not return to stay on the street.
To call this place a disaster is an understatement. The "room" had a layer of dust on everything, the cabinets were falling off the hinges, and it smelled bad. We barely wanted to put our bags on the floors.
