I had wanted to stay here for a while, and I was traveling with three friends, so I chose a triple because it was spacious.Since the view is not important to me, I stayed in a standard triple, but it was still a decent corner room on the 12th floor.You can carry three people as much as you like.Although it was a room with just a shower, the shower with the large head from above was very comfortable and I was very satisfied. The hair dryer was very efficient, and it was smooth and shiny when I dried it.It was a nice hotel that I wanted to stay here every time, near the station, limousine bus stops, easy access, shopping, food stalls.My only regret was that I didn't know how to use the coin laundry so I gave up.

I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days.They spoke Japanese and carefully explained recommended places to me and how to ride the subway.The location was convenient as it was in the center of Dongdaemun.The bed in the room was made every day by a pleasant female staff member.The room is spacious and I would like to use it again when I come to Korea again.

We checked in late because of our flight, but the hotel staff still taught us the check-in procedures patiently. The room was great and a comfortable environment. We stayed in a triple room, and the bed was very flexible🤣 The sizes are different🤣but this does not affect the comfort~There was a Chinese-speaking waiter at the counter who was also happy to help. We are not Koreans but wanted to try Korean delivery services. As a result, there was a problem. He was also very enthusiastic to help us. Unfortunately, we did not see him. Famous brand ~ I can’t praise him by name🤣But I am still very grateful for his help❤️The only flaw is that the elevator entering the subway at the entrance is under maintenance... We can only carry large luggage up and down the stairs🥲Hope it can be repaired soon🤣

Convenient as it is close to the station and a convenience store is also nearby.Thank you for lending me the conversion plug.The elevator is just slowI stayed on a high floor, but the elevator arrived too late and it was too late to get to the lobby.The view is not particularly good, so I recommend staying on the lower floors.

I love this hotel. Clean, the staff is super friendly, it’s conveniently located, and it’s a comfortable hotel. The only reason I’m rating 4 stars is due to the rooms AC. It’s rather warm and the temperature only gets to maybe 22 degrees Celsius, though it can be set to 20. Regardless, it doesn’t get lower than 22.The airport bus is right outside, and you are steps away from buses and trains that enable you to go anywhere you want around the city.Be sure to pack a razor or be ready to pay for any other amenities other than lotion, a comb, body wash, shampoo and conditioner.I loved our stay, but honestly not sure if we’d stay again only due to the AC. They don’t provide lighter blankets either and the duvet is pretty warm.Breakfast had options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians but for 15k won per person we decided there were too few options. Further, coffee isn’t complimentary, luckily there are many shops nearby.

The location is near the station, but this time the nearby elevator was out of order. The stairs with suitcases are tough.

Near the station, in front of the elevator. In front of the airport bus stop. It is not difficult to find a place to park a taxi. Near the convenience store. The room is clean. There is a wowpass vending machine and a weight scale in the lobby. The room is quite small and there are no tables so eating is difficult. Overall, a good hotel.

The location was excellent, and the room was very clean, but my only regret was that the bathroom door didn't lock.The service is perfect. All of the staff members were very kind and always greeted us with a smile, making us feel very comfortable during our stay.In particular, I am very grateful to Teemo, who responded to various questions beyond my expectations. Thank you very much for your help.Also, the handmade map was very useful as it was full of stores I wanted to visit and had information on business hours, etc.I would definitely choose this hotel when I come to Korea again.
