I stayed in Room 206, and overall, I would describe my experience as decent but I wouldnโ€™t recommend this place to anyone sensitive to noise or odors. The building is located down a narrow, somewhat dirty alley where people often gather to smoke, especially at night. Thereโ€™s also a karaoke below the property, which can make certain nights quite noisy. The building is not soundproof, so if you have loud neighbors, earplugs are a must. Unfortunately, during our stay, the room across from us was occupied by a particularly noisy group who talked loudly on speakerphone and moved in and out of the room until around 3am. Our room also had a persistent sewer-like odor, though running the ventilation helped minimize it. The room itself was smaller than it appeared in the photos but included a hairdryer, mini fridge and TV. The bathroom was spacious enough to shower without wetting everywhere. One issue was the air conditioning unit.. it was dusty, so I had to choose between opening the window (and dealing with cigarette smoke from outside) or using the AC and circulating dust. While I understand the property is budget-friendly, I do wish it were cleaner and better maintained. A "No Smoking" sign outside the entrance could also help reduce secondhand smoke exposure for guests.

Good budget stay

The room we booked had an issue in the bathroom, so he gave us two rooms to use instead. He was very kind and helpful. We had the place to ourselves for most of our stay probably due to the time of year. It was nice and quiet.

Great value

Once we found the entrance, hidden down a side alley, we were pleasantly surprised. About 1 min walk from exit 4 of jongno 5 ga, the location was excellent. The room was small but very functional and clean. The staff were unobtrusive and communal areas welcoming and we'll kept. I would stay again!
