Comfortable and clean. Except for the location, which is a bit out of the way, everything else is very good.

I had a lovely stay here. Service staff were friendly and so helpful. Place was very clean and comfortable. Greatly appreciated being able to use the washer and dryer during my stay. The location is fantastic, less than 5 minutes to Dongmyo station, within Dongdaemun and easy to get to everywhere. Lots of food places nearby as well. Will definitely stay here again when I’m back in Korea.

The room was very deserted. The bed squeaked and was super hard. I hit my head on the toilet. The photos were so deceiving. I really want to change hotels

It is located near Busan Yeongdo Bridge, making it a great location for a walk. In the evening, street food stalls also make a surprise appearance...
