This hotel is right in the heart of Myeongdong's night market. If you don't mind a small room and just need a place to sleep after exploring, then this is a great choice. It's also close to the airport bus stop.

Prime location, is a hostel instead of a hotel. Value for money. Check in staff was friendly, but check out staff could do better.

The perfect location for those who have a packed schedule in Seoul! The ***** of food stalls and shopping provides the perfect stroll. The staff are all so kind and willing to help and chat. We found the bed in the room a little hard, but that’s because we love a super soft mattress. Otherwise it was all wonderful!

I would definitely recommend this hotel again and again! Esepcially Gaia, who is so nice and accommodating over the weekend. Thank you for your consideration and helping us!! Located in the prime location of Myeongdong, everythingwas great. However I just hope the linen were actually clean and not dirty/stained.. No comments for other stuffs. Thank you!!! I would stay here again despite the small room and always arguing with my Mom xD

Extremely well located, and despite its central location in the heart of Myeongdong and being close to the subway, it was very quiet at night. Check in took a while as the reception takes every guest personally to their own rooms to give a thorough explanation of services and amenities. I was worried I’d be cold in the room but the heating is excellent - quiet and efficient. Breakfast is self serve - you cook your own eggs and make your own toast and cereal. The microwave and pantry was greet for late night noodles and snacks! Lots of convenience stores, restaurants and shops nearby - you can eat and shop till you drop! A great stay and I will definitely be back again. Thank you Ara125!

The hotel is located in Myeongdong, near Euljiro Subway Station. The room wasn't big but it was comfortable. You can use all the ingredients in the fridge to cook your own breakfast.

Fantastic stay! The room was spotless and well-arranged, with all the amenities you could need. The bedding was so soft and comfortable, I slept wonderfully. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful, making check-in and check-out a breeze. Their service was truly friendly. The hotel's location is super convenient for getting around and finding places to eat. Overall, it's great value for money. I'll definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip, highly recommended!
