Location is great, right in the middle of the shopping and food districts. No worries about the noise, because the immediate vicinity is quiet at night and the rooms are pretty soundproof against noises from the streets. Host was very gracious and friendly, I had a small incident my first night and he stepped in promptly to help. Will love to stay again next time I’m in Seoul. ##### Leila Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KC, Ireland Dec 1, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Convenient location, comfortable bed and great facilities and great value.

Never saw the staff, but received instructions via email that made check-in/check- out easy. The heated floors were on at night, and that was too hot...I wondered where the control for the floor was (woke up in a sweat one morning). That would be great for winter! ##### Ghislaine Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anchi Apr 28, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Check in前和check out後都可以寄放行李 每天都有阿姨來打掃，非常乾淨 早餐提供餐包、各種果醬、果汁 大門是密碼鎖非常方便！ 離弘大地鐵走路約10分鐘 ##### Anchi ### 10/10 Excellent #### HOTARU Apr 7, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort いつもありがとうございます ##### HOTARU ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHI-CHIEH Dec 31, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 闆人很親切，親自接待和介紹設備，有什麼問題發訊息的話，幾乎都秒回，除非在忙，可以幫忙訂外賣。客廳、房間，浴室都很大間，電視也很大，只可惜聲音很小聲，廚房有果汁、汽水、水、麵包和果醬。整體下來CP值很高，下次來韓國的第一首選。 缺點是1.沒有電梯，搬行李下樓很辛苦。2.有長期住的韓國學生，生活期習慣很差，開關門很大聲、動作行為也很大聲、垃圾廚餘也不清、杯子也不洗，彷彿全世界只有他一個人住一樣，希望下次不要跟他同房。 ##### CHI-CHIEH Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### ぱんだ, 日本 Oct 29, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### 複数の友人と一緒の時はgood 宿泊者が多いときは、バス＆トイレが1つしかなくて大変 パンもジュースもご自由になので、とても良かったです ##### ぱんだ Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KINUE Nov 20, 2019 ##### KINUE Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TSAI Jul 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### TSAI Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ##
