Long walk from Station but Okay for the price If you want to map it on Naver it’s 7-eleven Cheongpa Jeil Branch since Agoda uses google maps and it’s not updated as to SoKor’s map.The walk was long and I didn’t like it because I was carrying a lot of stuffs. I booked a room for two, the room was small but it has a CR that's divided by glass, though it's a bit awkward to shower there with an stranger-roommate on the top bunk. There’s bread and jam.Overall it’s a good value for money and near AREX. But as there's no bus stops near, you'll have to exercise a lot. I could say, I wouldn’t be again staying though.

It wasn't as close to the station as I expected. There is a 7-Eleven on the first floor, which is very convenient. …

It's very convenient as it runs every 10 minutes from Seoul Station, but the owner doesn't check to see if he's annoying other guests.  …

I lived in a single room, the dimensions of which were much smaller than in the photo. The refrigerator and TV did not work. WiFi is excellent, air conditioning is powerful. …

To be honest, although the location is close to Myeongdong, it is not easy to find in a small alley. If you don’t go to Seoul, South Korea often, it is difficult to find. …
