Stayed there for two nights as family of four. Advanced security and sophisticated electronic locks with video cam seeing who is outside the door. Could rent a full set of cooking utensils for only 1200 wons a night. Very courteous staff and could communicate in English. Only drawback is that it is located in alleys. Seemed dark and would have a little worry when returning late at night.
We arrived late and took a taxi from the airport to the hotel. The hotel ahjussi didn't havee much difficulty finding the hotel as it was in the GPS (albeit at the very end of the list). The reception was efficient and quick. Front desk personnel spoke passable english and very polite.
We booked the family room which was quite spacious for 3 adults and 3 kids. We didn't spend much time in the room though as there's so much to see and do in Seoul.
The attractions are quite near to the hotel. (one or two subway stops from Chungmuro). That's the station that we mainly used when we were there. However, to get to the station, you had to walk a fair bit. (10-15 mins with small kids). Along the way, there's some printing shops, and when you get to the main street there's the pet shops, bakeries and coffee shops.
I like the hotel for it's value for money and facilities.
You'll not be able to find a taxi from the hotel! No place to eat nearby. You have to walk couple of KMs to reach a starbucks. The staff is absolutely disingenuous!
This is a relatively large place with comfortable, clean rooms. It has the real benefit of a small kitchenette and washing machine in the room. The rooms are relatively large and modern. Maintenance is average and the desk staff speaks enough English to do the basics. Internet is free but it is available only in the lobby area. The hotel is located in an unusual neighborhood that is completely dead at night as it is composed of a large indoor/outdoor market (worth a visit) and kitchen supply stores. The main challenge, mentioned by others, is that, while it is a ten minute walk to two subway stops, it can be hard to find on foot or in a taxi. If you stay here, get the hotel to not only write the address for you but detailed directions to give to the taxi. We had one very frustrating taxi ride where the driver eventually had to call the hotel for directions.
Very comfortable room. As I booked triple room, the room is bigger than I thought.
There are three beds in the room. Bathroom is clean but they gave the bathroom aminities for only first night.
Staffs can speak English well. They are all helpful and polite.
I love the washing machine and big fridge.
This hotel is about 10 minutes walk from subway station.
Walking distance to Dongdaemun and Myeongdong. (15 or 20 minutes)
