Easy access, clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff.
Pros:

The staff are wonderful and helpful, and very responsive if you have any questions. The front desk is mainly unmanned but there can be someone there within a few minutes. The location is excellent and within walking distance of the market, the metro, and several heritage sites. The rooms are cleaned every day and they provide bottled water daily and there is ice, tea, and a microwave available downstairs with the luggage lockers. The beds are comfortable. There’s also a laundry machine onsite you can use.

Cons:

If you come from a location where you use soft wash cloths, not just this hotel but Korea won’t have them. You need to bring your own. No breakfast but there are lots of places to eat within a short walking distance.

Cons:

Very small rooms, difficult to place even your suitcases. Bathroom is also super small. Not the best choice for families. Only for backpackers.

Je ne recommande pas, hormis la localisation géographique
Pros:

Pas de petit dejeuner mais cafe a disposition
Lockers avec code pour les bagages mis a disposition gratuitement jusqu'à 18h, c'était top

Cons:

Chambre et salle de bain étaient très petites.
Absence d'espace de rangement et compliqué d'ouvrir la valise dans la chambre.
Dans la salle de bain la douche se trouve au dessus du lavabo. Ce n'était pas pratique ni confortable

Great budget stay.
Pros:

The location is very central, close to the major sightseeing spots in Seoul. It's also a short walking distance to the areas where the local goes and dine in the night, so it's perfect. The room is clean and sufficient for a solo traveler, and it was a good value for money. Check in / check out was seamless. Easy to find.

Cons:

It's not really soundproof that you would hear noises coming from the corridor. Also the bathroom is a bit too tiny. But again great value for the location vs the price. Overall it was a really good stay for budget travelers.
