Pros:

We stayed for 15 days, and the experience couldn’t have been better. The staff treated us very well and were incredibly kind and friendly. Our room was cleaned every day, and we also had the option to have dinner in the lounge without any problem.

The views from our room were incredible, and the hotel is very well connected to the rest of the city. Without a doubt, if we come back to Seoul, we will stay here again.

Thank you so much for everything! ❤️

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Kitchen area downstairs was stocked with coffee and water, which we found really helpful! The room was good, decent size and shower was good.

Cons:

Décevant, pas du tout du niveau 3 étoiles attendu… cher pour les prestations délivrées.
Pros:

L’emplacement était celui qui nous convenait

Cons:

Clim ultra bruyante. Là plus petite douche que j’ai vu de ma vie (regardez la photo!). Lit pas confortable du tout.

Un hotel où on se sent bien
Pros:

Plusieurs métros à 5 min, bus au pied de l’hotel. Hotel tenu par une famille adorable. Hotel calme, chambre spacieuse, propre et equipé (grand frigo avec congélateur, clim, bouilloire ... ). Lits confortables ! Et une vue magnifique de la Namsan tour , du lit (en photo) !

Cons:

Pros:

The hotel is located within walking distance from Myeongdong, Euljiro and Dongdaemun, and it is well connected with the subway to all of Seoul, so it is perfect for visitors.
We had a triple room with a city view with two single beds and a queen sized one in the loft area plus an en suite bathroom.
The staff was always helpful and spoke English, and the reception provides guests with daily free water, tea and coffee. There is also a laundry service that is totally affordable.
Definitely recommended for young tourists!

Cons:

The room had air conditioning but it didn't really cool down the loft area. Maybe it'd be good to have a fan upstairs as well, especially during hot summer periods!
