Good size for a family of 4

Room was the perfect size. The tub is huge!
Suemalee, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location. There is no laundry service nor laundry machines on site. They are currently renovating so the noise levels are quite loud from 9 AM to about 5 PM.
JUDY, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were polite and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable. The location was convenient for getting around, and I appreciated the basic amenities provided. Overall, it was a good experience and I would consider staying here again.

Florinda, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I absolutely the location of this property! Very central to Hongdae Red Street and Subway stations. The staff was also quite accommodating, courteous and friendly. I would def book here again on my next trip to Seoul!
Abdul Majid, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lobby was not a fancy thing but rooms and everything else was beyond expected
Jairo, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Shower door opened straight into the bedroom and would basically hit the bed so water would leak everywhere onto the floor. Sink, toilet, and shower are all in one area so once you shower you would be unable to go back inside to do anything or else your feet would get soaking wet. Absolutely no privacy as the bathroom is barely opaque and almost see through. Room had nowhere to sit and was dirty. Old building with elevator doors that close on you. There was also nowhere to sit/ barely any room to fit more than 2 small suitcases. Would recommend staying somewhere else. Only plus is that it is super close to shops and entertainment.
Lauren, 4-night trip

Terrible building condition. No shampoo. No lobby. Smell at towel. Bad building condition inside…

KEISUKE, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good location - Average hotel

Good location. Not a great hotel. The room given had no door handle, just a hole in the door where the handle used to be, so the door couldn't be closed. We were able to change rooms. They also charge a fee to leave your luggage for a couple of hours after checking out. I have never heard of a hotel charging a fee to hold luggage.
Aislinn, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Photos did not match actual room. Hotel is extremely overpriced.

6/10 Okay

The room was clean and maintained well. Extra charges for basic items, such as shampoo and body wash, makes me feel uneasy. They should do better job in keeping the hall way more presentable. Not only the room, the front desk and hall way are the first impressions to the guests.
Sooyen, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Warning sign fur anyone considering to stay in this hotel. The hotel has been the worst hotel that I have stayed. It is very dirty and not well maintained facility.
Bub Hyun, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel didn’t provide any shampoo and bathing gel without previous mentioning in Expedia. The reason is that due to the law they can’t provide one time disposal amenities, however all other hotels I stayed in Seoul having bottled amenities in place. Another disappointment is they charged 5000KRW per luggage for the storage after checkout. However they simply put the luggage in the lobby open area.
Kenneth, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Room very hot. Followed instructions for cooling using remote control, but couldn’t get it to work. Instructions not clear enough, or air conditioner broken. Don’t know which.
2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staffs are helpful and efficient. Location is convenient with many dining options, nearest Hongik Univ subway station is 7 min. walk away. Drawbacks are... room is small for 4 adults, not enough space for 4 mid size luggages. Room lightings are insufficient, a bit dim even with all lights turned on. Toilet glass door is only partially glossed, hence can see through inside.
KAY MENG, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Walls are thin and past midnight lots of loud people in the hallway. Lighting in the hallway is dark as we walk towards our room. There is no shower curtain in the bathroom so water everywhere after use. One elevator is old and just patched with brown paper around it. Lobby is very small. If you want to stay in cheap and convenience around Hongdae then this might be it but I didnt feel safe. The rooms looked like a dorm.

部屋は快適でしたがスイートルームで予約したので写真で見た最上階の広い部屋で泊まってみたかったです。
