Pros:

The room was clean and the location is very good. Everything beautiful, but some extra maintenance would help. There is nobody at reception and when I tried to call the phone number at night nobody answered. Neither they called me back next day.

Pros:

If you have luggage and it is possible, it is recommendable to stay on first floor because the steps is too narrow and steep to bring luggage. Otherwise, it was good to stay just one night.

Clean, quiet and perfect location!
Pros:

It's a self check in, compact and affordable hotel right smack in the city. Walking distance to many eateries, pharmacies, cafes and subway stations. Dongdaemun is also walkable if you fancy exploring the city by foot. Housekeeping ahjumma will be around in the morning cleaning rooms. She can speak a little Mandarin and we communicated roughly because my ac was on heater mode and it was summer. She was helpful and warm during the interaction. Overall, I thought it was a good location for a solo traveller. The environment is not as sleazy as people say it to be. Overall, the property is new and I truly enjoyed my stay here.

Pros:

Das Hotel ist nur 5 Minuten zu Fuss von der U-Bahn entfernt und liegt nahe am Gwangjang-Market. Das Bett war sehr bequem.

-Das Hotelzimmer war so klein, dass wir unser Gepäck auf dem Boden in der Nähe des Bettes ablegen mussten.

Pros:

部屋は綺麗でモダンな雰囲気。シャワーとトイレ、ベット等も綺麗でした。
しかし何より狭い!想像より1/2サイズだと思った方がいいです。二人でダブルの部屋に泊まりましたが、
ベットはともかく、フリースペースが全くなく、スーツケースを広げる場所がありませんでした。
綺麗なのでただ寝るだけなら問題ないと思います。

Pros:

Overall it was good. Ac works on remote. I’m an older person and the stairs are quite steep and the steps are small. Difficult navigating the stairs. Close to shops and bus stop. Good location

There was no one in the office to solve issue. Hotel has an office with no person. Room was extremely small, the door touches the bed when opened. Clean.

Pros:

This hotel doesn’t have staff or reception. You check in and out with s machine. It is located in awful and dirty alley. At night I could hear drunk people talking lound just outside the hotel. Their is a brothel just a few doors away. At night I didn’t felt safe as a woman traveling alone. Also I had a tiny window facing a wall accross the alley. So don’t get fooled by the nice pictures on internet like it did! The next hotel I stayed The Amid hotel was cheaper and felt like paradise after staying at Sept hotel

Comfortable Stay
Pros:

I enjoyed my stay. They were very accommodating in letting me add a few extra nights last minute because of travel changes. It was very clean, smelled nice, and was modern.
