Great location reasonably priced and great facilities
Pros:

Location was perfect and room was spacious and had great facilities.

Cons:

Didn’t know that it was on third floor with no lift so bit of a surprise to carry suitcases up … wasn’t a deal breaker for us.

Pros:

The location was great, close to the places we'd planned to visit during our first visit to Seoul. The room was clean, and we could turn on the heated floor at night in cool weather. Hot water was always available. The room wasn't very large, but the layout was well thought out, and two people were comfortable. The staff was helpful.

Emplacement parfait
Pros:

L’emplacement ! Très bien placé pour visiter Séoul à pied ou via les transports.

Cons:

Il ne faut pas être sensible au bruit car nous entendons beaucoup les voisins. Le rapport qualité prix est très bien mais il ne faut pas s’attendre à de grande prestation.

Otel odasından ziyade kendi evimde gibiydim
Pros:

Toplu taşımaya olan konumu çevresinde ihtiyacınız olan her şeyi bulabilmeniz açısından çok elverişli. Oda içerisinde de ihtiyaç duyabileceğiniz her şey düşünülmüş tekrar gelsem tekrar kalmak isterim.

Cons:

Pencereler küçük olduğu için havalanması çok iyi değildi

Just skip this place. You're better off somewhere else
Pros:

Location was central, but up a large hill

Cons:

Dirty, uncomfortable and beds need to be replaced. Hugely misleading about air conditioning. Only available during summer months - it's an installed system so they just take away the remote. Air conditioning was a main factor in booking but was not made aware of their summer month policy until we were in the room. Tried reached out to staff but were unhelpful. Had to beg for even a fan which they eventually brought. Only 1 small window opens in the unit. Bathroom smells musty and like sewer. Under the beds have never been cleaned. Mattresses are in horrible shape and need replacement. There is only 1 outlet in the entire unit which makes it almost impossible to charge for the 4 people the unit holds.
