"Forgot to take photos, but the hotel's location is super convenient, really close to the subway station, and there are plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. It's very clean and smells great, no weird odors at all. The front desk staff are really friendly and can communicate in English, and we were even able to check in a bit early. The only minor downside is that the room isn't huge, but for two people with not much luggage, it's perfectly fine. Recommended!"
"We were too tired so we did not take any photos of the room. There were about 5 rooms at a level. The room size was ok. But one thing to be noted was the hotel check-in time was 10pm. Luckily they did offer luggage storage service. The staffs were friendly tho.
Otherwise, the hotel was clean and comfortable. Location wise was perfect. Very near to the metro station and also the airport limousine bus station. There were few restaurants nearby and we went to one that opened 24 hours which was very good. Also quite a number of convenience stores nearby.
Overall, the stay was not bad."
"The hotel is just walking distance to metro as well as airport express rail making it so convenient. You can take the airport train to the hotel, which only cost 1/3 of airport express bus. Behind the hotel is the beautiful Gyeongui Line Park (attached photos) where you can have your morning jog or evening walk. It is connected to the latest happening Yeongnam park near Hongdae. But you have to walk for 2.7km to reach there. However, it is a very nice walk if you like to stroll through parks.
Room itself is clean and tidy. Only thing to improve is the breakfast. Although the variety is good, all the food is exactly the same every day. You will get bored after your 3rd morning. Even there is no change of fruits, everyday orange, banana and frozen persimmon."
"This is the best hotel I've stayed at in Korea so far. My first night at another hotel was a disaster, so I switched to this one online, just to try it out. To my surprise, it was fantastic! The cleanliness and service were top-notch, and for the price, the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend it to all foreign visitors. A bad hotel experience can really sour your trip to Korea. The two front desk staff, one Chinese and one Korean, had incredibly good service attitudes. On my last day, they very kindly helped me exchange money. It was a really great experience."
"The hotel was ok for just one night, not really hotel more Motel vibes. Just disappointed because hairdryer was broken so i could have not be able to wash my air."
"The hotel's location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around and shopping. The room was clean and tidy, with complete facilities, comfortable bedding, and good soundproofing. The front desk staff were warm, polite, and handled check-in efficiently. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and getting around is easy. Overall, it offers great value for money, and my stay was comfortable and pleasant. Highly recommend!"
"Located at exit 2 of Gongdeok station with escalator/lift access. Shampoo, conditioner, hand wash and lotion were very fragrant. Bathroom slippers were changed daily. Would be good if vanity kit (facial cotton and ear buds) and sugar/creamer/stirrer could be provided. Pillows were very soft and the hotel uses Simmons mattress. The furniture a bit old. The aircon system was quite confusing at first as it auto off when reached a temperature. Thereafter, it will auto on again. At times, there’s no air circulation. Room prices are on the high side."
"I booked a deluxe twin room, and it was incredibly spacious for two people. We could easily spread out all four of our suitcases. Downstairs, there's an Olive Young and a snack street, so all our food and shopping needs were covered. It's the first stop for the airport limousine bus, which was very convenient. The hotel is also close to Mapo subway station and bus stops."
"The cleanliness wasn't up to par. The woman at the front desk who checked me in understood a bit of Japanese and was very pleasant. I knew it was a love hotel given its rating and the check-in time, and since it was just a one-night stay for a concert, I was glad to be able to shower, sleep in a bed, and charge my devices. It was also nice to have three bottles of water in the fridge."
"The hotel is conveniently located close to the station with plenty of shops nearby. The amenities were excellent, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and body lotion. I also received a dental kit and a comb. The only minor inconvenience was that the power outlets and USB ports were only on the bedside. Also, all the towels were the same size and not designated for different uses, which might bother some people. Overall, I was satisfied!"

Great
AAnonymous UserThe location is excellen with several train stations nearby, making it very convenient!
I would consider staying here again on my next trip!
The only thing that bothered me was that a sewage smell started filling the bathroom from the second night of my stay...
The cups provided in the room are paper cups so guests who prefer regular cups may want to bring their own.
It was also very convenient that I could store my suitcase in a locker inside the hotel even after checking out!
MMocha&DuoDuoOur stay was perfect, and it all started with the incredible front desk team. After a long-haul flight from the US, we arrived in Seoul exhausted. We knew check-in wasn't until 3 PM, but the staff were so thoughtful and proactively checked to see if a room was available. They kindly offered us an early check-in, which was an absolute lifesaver and allowed us to recharge immediately. A special shout-out to the staff member who also noticed I had two separate bookings for my 4-night stay and seamlessly arranged to keep me in the same room—such careful attention to detail!
Location-wise, this hotel is unbeatable. It’s steps away from the metro and the airport bus stop, making transfers a breeze. Plus, the neighborhood is buzzing with great restaurants and unique boutiques—perfect for shopping and eating to your heart's content. We can't wait to come back!
FFen ah ahAll good and everything is meet my expectations for the room cleaniness and services. The location is at the cetre of the market street and very convenient for street walking and shopping.Breakfast nice and variety of choices. Not much facilities like swimming pool or gym room for this hotel, but it is ok as i don't use it usually. The only bad is taxi cannot reach direct to this hotel and you have to carry your heavy luggage to the main road for the taxi.
GGuest UserThe hotel's location is excellent. It's very close to Sinsa Subway Station, and if you stick to the main road, there's no steep hill like some photos online might suggest.
It's right next to Seoul Forest, and you can walk to Apgujeong in about 10-15 minutes. There's also a three-story Olive Young just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, which is super convenient! While the rooms aren't huge, the soundproofing is pretty good, and the shower water pressure is absolutely fantastic!
If you stay here, definitely make sure to check out the cafe on the top floor – the views are amazing. Overall, highly recommend. (Pics 1 & 2: Hotel rooftop cafe/bar. Pics 3 & 4: Views from the room)
MMattyFThe room is small and a little boring but you’re paying for the location, and it’s comfortable and clean. There’s a good beer bar, Seoulista, on the ground floor. There’s is an aerial walkway connected, which goes to Seoul Station. You can also use the metro Exit 7 (I think) but it will charge you just for walking through if you are coming from the AirPort Express. The breakfast arrangements are quite eccentric, but I had a good breakfast.
EEddrenI had a pleasant stay at this hotel during my trip to Seoul. The hotel was nice and clean, and the check-in process was fast and smooth, which made arrival stress-free. Although the room was a bit small, it was still comfortable enough for 3 people.
One of the highlights is the location, there are plenty of food stalls around the hotel, offering authentic local bites without the overwhelming crowds you’d find in Myeongdong. Personally, I found this area much more enjoyable and relaxing.
The metro station is just a 3-minute walk away, making it very convenient to explore the city.
Travel Tip:
From the airport, take the train to Seoul Station (either normal or express), then transfer to the blue line to Chungmuro Station. If you’re carrying luggage, Exit 5 is the best choice since it has an escalator — just walk toward Starbucks. Otherwise, Exit 7 is a quicker option.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel for travelers looking for a clean, convenient, and well-located stay in Seoul.
MMisa93The location is good if you want peace, since it's close to Bukhansan National Park and not city centre. The room is very spacious, but the cleanliness was so-so. I found someone's hair on the bedside table, and the tiles in the bathroom weren't very clean. I guess it's what you get for the price. If you're a budget traveller, it's a good choice, if you want something more, look for other places. But the view was amazing.
GGuest UserIt's always a nice stay here! The location is very great, olive young is downstairs , and the subway station also downstairs, it's near the airport bus stop too! They have bidet and the toilet is scpacious, the room also spacious, you can store many luggages, they have tables and chairs too for you to eat or have some work, their receptionist lobby and all the staff also very helpful during my stay, definitely recommended, not to mention they have 24h convenient store at the 3rd floor and laundry room
AAnonymous UserIt's not really excellent but You get what you payed for.
Aside from they only provide small size face towels.
My only complain is they should no longer provide towels with discolorations and stains.
Check in is strict 3pm
Check out is 11am
No elevator
No own kettle inside the room but u can use the pantry on the 4th floor with microwave.
Near subway station line9 naebang.
AAnonymous UserGreat location, with a subway station and bus stops nearby. The room is tiny, like a goshiwon (a type of small, affordable room often found in Korea), only suitable for one person. The entire check-in process is self-service, making it ideal for a quick one-night stay.
