Hotel near University Road area,Seoul
GGuest User 2025.06.21
Recommended by a friend. It's conveniently located right by the subway station, with a pedestrian street offering plenty of dining and shopping options just a short walk away. Excellent value for money. The room was clean, a bit on the compact side but perfectly functional. The only minor downside was that the lobby's sofa seats had some stains and could use a good cleaning.

My family and I went for a 2 weeks trip and during that time we stayed 3 times (we're travelling to different cities so we stayed in different hotels for a few days before coming back here again for another stay).
We got a free upgrade for our room in our first stay, which left a great impression on us who were tired after a long flight. The amenities are surprisingly a lot and they're really good both in smell and in quality. Even the hair dryer was amazing. We checked out after 2 nights but kept some of our big luggages there since we're gonna come back in a few days. The manager helped to arrange and took care of our luggages, and his english was amazing, making communication really easy. They stated that breakfast is simple since it's free for everyone, but I would say the breakfast is really good and really fulfilling.
The second time we got the regular room we're supposed to get in our first stay. We thought we will have outside bathrooms but no, there's still a bathtub, a bidet, great amenities, and even a foldable table. The overall room is still very cozy for the cheap price. We checked out and told the manager again that we're still gonna keep our luggage there till we come back again, and he took care of it once again.
On the third stay, my family asked for a favor (that I can't really disclose) to the manager when we checked in for the third time. The manager agreed to help (maybe since we're probably considered ”regulars” at this point) and even offer a bit more than what we asked, and he only asked that we give good reviews for them in google. Honestly, I've been planning to give them good reviews since the first stay, but now I'm convinced that this is such a great hotel with great people😆 I will definitely come back if I ever go back to Korea, and I will definitely recommend the place to others who are planning to stay in the area.
The hotel is on a small street, so you have to walk a bit from the main street to get to the hotel. The area around the hotel has a lot of restaurants, shops, convenience stores, and it is quite close to the big streets, bus stops, and even subways. It's a really strategic place.
It is probably the best budget hotel I've ever been in, and I will remember it for a long time.
To Manager Charlie, the girl staff and the night shift man that I don't think I ever got the name, Thank you so much for your kind service and help. You've made me and my family's stay really memorable and especially enjoyable☺️

The guesthouse is within walking distance from Hyehwa Station. The nightlife around this estate is also very lively, so rest assured should you need to return back later in the evening. The complimentary breakfast served is decent - you get a choice of toasted bread with spread, instant ramen or oatmeal. This is coupled with some milk, fruit juice, coffee, tea and water. However, you will need to prepare the meals yourself and clean the dishes after that.
A caution that the room can seem rather small and cramped (for those needing a spacious design when selecting your overseas accommodation). My individual shower facilities also had a stench odour of what seemed like sewage, which was the main disappointing portion. If not, the rest of the facilities are good enough - e.g. The toilet bowls are clean and fitted with smart toilet seats, providing a warm sitting experience for those relieving yourselves during the winter season in Korea. The hosts were also very friendly, despite their limited proficiency in spoken English Language. There is also a shared desktop computer for your internet usage in the balcony, as well as a smart television in each room with internet-based programmes (e.g. Netflix, YouTube, Disney Plus etc.).
I will strongly recommend this accommodation to those seeking a value-for-money option, solo travellers wanting a communal yet safe space to have a roof under their heads for the night. Not for the introverted nature - you will have plenty of opportunities to interact and dine with many strangers, of which some might become your global friend!

We enjoyed our room the most and felt that we had a good night's rest here. This is a semi budget friendly hotel that is close to the palace/park areas of Seoul. The room was clean and well appointed with two comfy beds, two good pillows per bed, a chair, cabinets and drawers to store stuff, a big tv, robes and sandals. The bathroom was nice too with good shower pressure and one of those shower valves where you can pick the temperature you want. The toilet flushed quietly and there was plenty of shower space. There are frosted windows in the bathroom which help let in natural day light but if your partner uses it at night you will see the lights come on.
The location was decent but the metro was further than expected. When we booked trip.com showed us that it was 330m from Dongmyo Station but it was actually closest to jongno 5 entrance 2 which was a 10 minute walk away from the hotel. The palace and Hanbok areas are very close to the hotel and there are frequent busses in the area to take you to the major attractions and areas. Nearby the hotel there are many convenience stores but there are limited restaurant options outside of coffee shops.
The breakfast at the hotel was ok. We found there was a good variety but if you went too early (7:30 am) nothing was out yet and if you went later (8:30) everything was limited. The hot items were not as hot as we liked them to be despite the heaters so it might be worth getting early and getting your food when it comes out so it is nice and hot. There were scrambled eggs, fried eggs, marbled cheese the one day, stuff to make salad, an onion soup, mushroom soup, fried rice, a hot vegetable (one day it was potato and the next it was mushrooms), hot dogs, cut up fruit, bread/toaster, cut up muffins, orange juice, coffee and tea. There was enough to get by and there are pricey a la carte options. The restaurant was a little drafty when we went but it was just enough to get us started each day.
The staff at the hotel were friendly and allowed us to store our baggage when we arrived early so we could go out and explore the city. When we actually checked in it was smooth and quick. The elevators are a little tricky at the hotel and you have to pay attention to which elevator is closest to you and press that button. There are two elevators but there are two separate buttons to call them so it is worthwhile looking where the elevators are and choosing accordingly. The hotel also has a coin laundry facility and a meeting area. The lobby is also nicely appointed with furniture and a small drinks shop but being there in December we wouldn't want to hang out there long.

It takes 90 minutes from the airport to the hotel (it is 1 hour if you leave in the early morning). Near the hotel is the ”Integrity Woman's University Station”. It only takes 3 stations to Dongdaemun and has convenient transportation.
The hotel room is small and the bathroom is relatively large, but it is not dry and wet. Take a bath or water flow everywhere. The hotel does not have toothpaste and toothbrush, but there are shampoo, body soap, conditioner, professional comb, body lotion, moisturizer. Drinks and water in the refrigerator can be drunk for free.
The uncle at the front desk has limited English and nothing to communicate. Health is good, professionally clean up the room every day. I am very satisfied.

The location is great, with a subway station and bus stops nearby. We were the first Chinese guests to check in. The price was reasonable, 500 RMB a day. However, check-in was at night!!! Check-in wasn't until 10 PM. I don't know if it was because it was crowded that day or if check-in is always at 10 PM. It was my first time there, so I don't understand, but I respect it.

This is my second time staying at this hotel! Loved the interior of the room. It was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. The hotel is located about 2 minutes away from a subway station. There is also a long street with lots of food options and shops nearby. Very convenient!
The only small problem is the centralised heating/aircon. It was really hot in the room on our last day and the staff told us we couldn't adjust the temperature of our room.
Nevertheless, I highly recommend staying here if you'd like a good area to stay in that isn't too touristy. Well worth the price!

The location is really great, very convenient, whether it is the bus, airport bus or subway, recommended! The price is also reasonable, but if you have very high requirements for hygiene (must not be a little dirty), don't consider it, or bring your own disposable bedding! After all, this is an affordable small hotel, the main focus is on cost-effectiveness! I will stay there next time~

Chinese people are cautious! He can only check in at 7 o'clock in this hotel! If you want to check in early, you have to pay more money. The next day you need to move your luggage out and then re-check in! But you can tell the front desk and pay more for the room. But the room is more comfortable than the same price! !

Always check the hotel’s official website for exclusive packages or room upgrades. - Navigate Seoul Smartly: Avoid intense rush-hour traffic (7–9 AM, 6–8 PM); use the subway for faster transit. After nightlife in Hongdae or Itaewon, budget ₩15,000+ (AU$17+) for a taxi back. Book Early During Festivals – Hotels sell out during events like Boryeong Mud Festival (July) or Seoul Lantern Festival (November).
- Choose Transit-Friendly & Value-Conscious Locations: Skip overpriced tourist zones like Myeongdong and opt for Ikseon-dong: Artsy hanok alleys, hidden cafés, and vintage shops. Mapo-gu: Authentic local markets, riverside parks, and lower prices (+ easy subway access).

나나인볼It was a bit far from the subway station and the cleanliness was okay, but the iron frame on the ceiling was still rusty, so it was a bit disappointing. I think it's okay for the price.

GGuest UserI saw that the price was a little cheap, but the check-in time was 10 o'clock. It's because cancellation is not allowed. I arrived a little early and asked, so I paid an additional fee and went in. Still, the price is cheap, and the facilities, cleanliness! The kindness, and the room size are the best value for money. ~~ I was worried after reading a Chinese person's post, but they are really ungrateful people.
If you arrive early, you can pay an additional fee and negotiate.
I couldn't take a picture, but the actual thing is better. ~~
