It was listed as a hotel, but it’s actually a hostel—I was totally misled by the description and photos, and it wasn’t even cheap. You’d be better off booking a real hotel.

Very nice location, but very poor room condition
Photos shown and the real looks are totally different. Room is dirty, hotel nearby doesn't look good, is like staying at back street. Is good for budgeted trip, but not really for a family trip.

Staffs weren't the friendliest, there isn't an elevator, so be prepared to carry your luggages up the stairs. There isn't a person to help at the desk at wee hours. However, comfortable stay at a very convenient lovation

Nice budget place to choose
It's a clean small hotel near the dongdaemun area, just a minute of walk from the nearest subway exit. Major shopping centers and attractions are not far away by subway. The rooms are clean and although the size of room is not as normal ones, it offers a reasonable comfort. It offers a small lounge/pantry which you can enjoy free coffees and use the computer. Staffs can speak english and mandarin which i'm sure it would be a great point to mention. The only disgrace is if you are assigned rooms on upper floor, you have to bring you luggage up by stairs ONLY !!! Little Tips: If you need more than one room, be sure you contact the hotel after booking is confirmed to ensure that the rooms assigned are on the same floor instead.

Friendly Staffs, Clean Hotel
The hotels rooms are clean although quite small. Staffs are polite and helpful. The location of the hotel is very close to Dongdaemun Subway. There's a lot of late night shopping centres within walking distance.

写真とは全然違う！
掲載されている写真とは程遠く部屋の壁紙はほぼ浮いていたりテープで貼り付けてあったりと酷くびっくり！ 部屋に入ると小蝿・ゴキブリ、ベットにはダンゴムシが2匹！　エアコンは汚すぎ使いませんでした。　部屋に殺虫剤が置いてあるので宿も虫が出るの分かっているのでしょう！

It's located at the back of a dark alley, so it might be a little unsettling at night.

立地は素晴らしいが、施設がそこそこ古い。 壁の一角には黒カビが、換気が悪い感じ。 バスタブは無く、トイレの横でシャワーだが、シャワーを壁に掛ける物もなく、手で持つしかない。 清掃は行き届いていた、廊下には荷物用の重量計もある。 料金相応のホテルでした。
