I would not recommend for a family with the value.
Cons:

The beds were pushed against each other on a wall. The bathroom was not a separate room by itself. Instead, the shower door opened into the entire room like a stall. I’ve stayed in a small Japanese hotel and even there, the bathroom was a room by itself. There wasn’t enough floor space to lay out and open our suitcases. We had a family suite and it was not fit for a family. Maybe two adults.

Great location in busy part of Seoul, but tiny rooms
Pros:

Location was super convenient. Right next to busy part of Seoul, plenty of food options, and close to metro. But if you prefer somewhere leas hustle and bustle or quieter then don’t recommend.

Cons:

Room was very small and cramped. Not even enough space to walk around the bed.

Good location, friendly staff, but room was just okay.
Pros:

Very good location, 2 min walk from the metro and walking distance from Myendong. Staff was very kind! Breakfast was nice.

Cons:

Very small room, with very little space to move around. Also, there was only one very small window in the room. This made the air become quickly heavy, warm and humid, especially during the night.

Pros:

Das Personal ist wirklich sehr freundlich und bemüht, allen Anliegen nachzukommen.
Frühstück ist Basic, aber völlig OK als Start in den Tag. Kostenloses Wasser.
Metrostation mit 3 Linien um die Ecke.
Für wenige Nächte ok, wenn man die ganze Zeit unterwegs ist.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind dunkel, da die Fenster zu zwei Seitengassen gehen. Es ist bis spät Nachts sehr laut oder sehr warm (wenn das Fenster geschlossen ist). Das WLAN ist instabil.
Das ganze Zimmer inkl Bad ist gefliest, es ist nicht gemütlich. Keine Leselampe.

Muy cómodo y limpio.
Pros:

La habitación era muy cómoda, las almohadas muy suaves, todo muy limpio, tiene lavadora y secadora por un costo extra puedes lavar, el desayuno muy rico, no es variado, pero te salva las mañanas, estaba todo muy cerca, una calle con muchos restaurantes, tiendas de conveniencias, frente del hotel está un restaurante de pollo frito muy delicioso. Me volvería a hospedar aquí sin duda.

Cons:

Todo me gustó.

Great location, stuffy rooms - good choice if you spend most time outside
Pros:

Excellent location - super close to various busses, the metro, the airport express bus. Tons of great food options in front of the door; palace and other key sights were within walkable distance. The staff was friendly and the bathroom was quite large. Shower had good water pressure. Spotlessly clean room, comfy beds, had everything you need (including fridge, water cooker). The room was quite small but that was transparently noted on the website, and the prices were very fair. They served water and coffee in the lobby for free, and gave you bottled water each day. There was also a laundry room at the top (paid usage, but still convenient).

Cons:

The room was very stuffy and warm as there was only one tiny window facing another building. Despite staying there in the winter (and having to wear thick jackets outside) we had to turn on the AC inside but were still sweating (and I'm usually rather cold). No shelfs etc. to put your toiletries and just one rack on the door for towels in the bathroom. The breakfast was- well- pretty bad; I think it tried to be Western to appeal to international travelers but the eggs, sausages, and toast were not tasty. I seriously considered having Instant Ramen for breakfast (and some did :D) The Wifi connection was mediocre; in the room I only had connection at one spot and had to leave my phone there, otherwise it would disconnect. Not all staff members spoke English which is technically ok as they were proficient in using Google Translator.
