Staff and Location
Pros:

The staff we absolutely amazing! I speak very little Korean, and their English was amazing! The morning we checked out the front desk clerk helped us order a taxi to the airport, making our travel stress free for an early morning flight. There are tons of restaurants, bars, and cafe's just a few steps out the door. The night market is a short walk away and the meeting point for DMZ tours through multiple companies is right around the corner. The train station is also super close and we took the train all over the city. This area is a perfect location for a home base while in Seoul.

Cons:

The beds were on the firm side, not uncomfortable but not fluffy either. Lighting in the room was dim, even by the sink. Putting my contacts in was difficult in the dim light, I ended up using the flashlight on my phone to provide the amount of light I need to get ready. The bathroom only had a shower and after a long day of walking around the city a soak would have helped and we each commented on it at least once. Also its worth noting that this hotel is on the top of a hill, no matter which road you take to get to it you will be walking up hill, two of the smaller roads are very steep. Over all the location and price out weigh the minor inconveniences I noted here.

Pros:

Great location - easy to walk to the night markets, lots of restaurants and bars just around the hotel. Comfy beds and helpful staff.

Cons:

The bathrooms are a little outdated, old shower curtains and some mold spots on the walls. Rooms are pretty small and can't really have 2 suitcases open at the same time.

Muy buena ubicación
Pros:

La ubicación, muy cerca de la zona de tiendas. Estaba muy limpio y las camas eran cómodas.

Cons:

El baño está separado solo por un cristal por lo que es poco íntimo y si tienes que ducharte pronto por la mañana o por la noche despiertas con la luz a tu acompañante.
