The pictures are deceiving, I’m not sure some of the pictures displayed that look like they’re part of the property are actually part of the property. The bed sheets may have been clean but they were definitely stained, or they may have just been dirty. There aren’t any amenities that I saw, there’s no restaurant, no gym, and no sauna. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Good points: Austin the member of staff was very helpful and spoke good English. Bed and Pillows were very comfortable. Shower Room was very modern and clean, the Bidet was great. Loved the welcome pack which came in handy and very useful that there was an hairdryer, straightners and brush and comb with hairspray. Robes and sliders provided. Shampoo and conditioner and Bodywash. Cables for phones and tablets etc came in handy too. Air conditioning and plenty of free bottled water was great as it was 35c some days. Bad points: Front entrance was not accessible and looked like an abandon building. Trash just dumped outside of the back of Building and Restaurant was a let down (bins not used). Staff from other premises smoking outside. Wallpaper needs replacing and reception area needs a complete reburbishment. It would be great to able to sit there when you have a couple of hours after checking out and waiting for Taxi. No Toilet available so had to go over to the Bar across the way.

It's a 2 mins walk frim Jonggak station ( Blue line 1). Around the hotel there are tons of eateries and convenience store, so no worry getting hungry. The Cheonggyecheon stream is just next to the hotel and Myeongdong is a 10 minute walk. And Insadong is a 5 minute walk. I'll definitely stay again when back in Seoul.

No pool but the staff is amazing

The hotel description mention the access to a pool. Don’t be fooled like me. Don’t book this hotel if you’re looking for a pool. Past my disappointment of the lack of amenities, the staffs were extremely wonderful. They are the kindest sweetest people you’ll ever meet in South Korea. They made my trip so magical. They are very helpful on recommendations and directions. Very knowledgeable on what’s going on in the city. For the price of the rooms don’t expect too much. There was just enough space for two. The location of this hotel is very favorable for public transportation.

I came to Korea for the first time to celebrate my daughter’s 15th birthday and it was the worse, I booked for 3 nights but ended up staying just one and only because it was late. They have you to check in strictly at 4pm, we arrived way earlier like 11am because of our flight and they told us we had to come back after 4, not even trying to please guests in this hotel. It advertised as a hotel who has a spa and making it sound like it is great but really save your money, I got a better hotel by Marriott just 20usd more, this is a scam…. I am si disappointed with Expedia because they won’t even they announce this property. I am still fighting to get my money back from the other 2 nights that I did not stayed there. Please avoid this hotel at any cost, there are better choices.

Many businesses decide not to heat their premises in Seoul during winter. In this hotel, but your room, it's quite cold. Cold winter in South Korea is quite short, so maybe the investment isn't worth it. Winter isn't also a huge tourist season either.

In a buzzy pub area close to Metro

Overrall OK. I echo other people's comments that the photos make the place seem much classier than it actually is. Its in a noisy corner of a very buzzy pub area, so that's an advantage if you like that sort of thing. Very convenient to Metro and right by the river walk which is a big plus.

Like most hotels of this starring it was adequate.lovely comfortable bed. I was asked every morning if i wanted my room CLEANED. I AM A DISABLED TRAVELER AND FELT WELL LOOKED AFTER when they heard me come down in a morning they would rush to press the door for me. When taxis couldnt fit my folding buggy in their boot, the staff triedtheir utmost to find a taxi that could. Everywhere wasso easy to get to and once you get your bearings just follow the strem and you will get back. Tourist advice close. Had a lovely stay but if you want a more luxurious stay pay more and go somwhere else.
