Cleanliness
5
Mixed reports: some guests note basic cleanliness, but multiple mentions of mold on the wall, strong sewage odor, and persistent water leakage from the shower leading to wet floors.
Service
8.5
Generally helpful and responsive staff (Japanese spoken by some staff). Staff addressed problems promptly, though some guests found frequent staff entry into rooms disruptive.
Location
9.3
Excellent central location in Myeongdong, extremely convenient for shopping and sightseeing; some rooms/building entrance hidden in an alley but overall highly praised.
Room Quality
4.8
Rooms are very small/cramped (suitcase space limited), basic furnishings, tiny beds; bathrooms are compact with no bathtub or curtain so showers make the whole area wet.

Very basic amenities: limited/poorly placed electrical sockets, weak WiFi reported, occasional lack of bath towels, dirty slippers, and no sound insulation; minimal equipment otherwise.

9.3

Mixed but lean-positive: excellent location and good value lead many to return, despite issues with room size, noise from nearby construction, and occasional cleanliness/amenity problems.

Pros:

明洞駅から近いです。繁華街の路地裏(少し坂道)にあるので、タクシーでホテル前まで乗り入れることは出来ませんのでご注意ください。

必要最低限の設備があるので、困ることはありません。清潔感あります。寝泊まりだけなら充分なホテルです。

Pros:

As other reviews, there was mold on the wall but we stayed for only 2 nights to it isn’t too bad. Very hard to find because all we could find was “ziyolk hotel” but we booked for k-pop residence. I think they rebranded or something. Also it’s location is through an alley so not obvious.

The room was also very tiny.

The location was excellent and service was good. I would rebook it only for the location, extremely convenient.

Location is good, but lift was out due to construction, add the noise from construction and walking up 2 flights of stairs each time is not the best.

Pros:

カードキーを挿しても部屋の電気が付かなかった。帰宿のたびにフロントに報告して対処して貰ったが、復旧作業するのに毎回従業員が部屋に入ってくるので全然休まらなかった。

立地はとても良かった。日本語も通じた。また、部屋は非常に狭く、人数分のスーツケースを広げると足の踏み場がなくなるような感じだった。

バスルームにはトイレ、シャワー、洗面台があるが、バスタブやカーテンはないため、シャワーを浴びると全てがびしょびしょになる。

Pros:

가성비가 좋은 숙소였습니다.
찾기 쉬웠고 명동 한가운데라서 주변 구경하기도 좋았습니다. 다만 바로옆에 건물을 짓고있어 아침일찍 잠을깼네요.
다짓고나면 소음은 없겠죠.ㅎ

Pros:

The electric sockets were almost non existent and near the ceiling! Old school key locks that I don’t think is safe anyone can copy keys! And the bank beds were very tiny I felt I was in a kids room! But apart from that it was right in the center and it was close enough to walk to the main sites!

Very convenient location. Really basic and small room. Toilet gets wet during shower. Extremely noisy - construction site nearby, I'm being waken up 7am every morning by loud construction noises.
