Euljiro 1 exit 5, have lift for baggage. Walk under the building, walk pass Starbucks. Go to right side, walk pass convenience store on the left side. The next building stand in front of you is hotel. But keep walking forward a bit, the main entrance next to Mega coffee on your left. Enter and lift on the right side. No reception or check in before 3pm. Drop baggage on the right side, both of big & small suitcase. Not allow to eat inside the room. There is a corner for meal with americano coffee.

No cleaning during your stay.

love the location, hotel easy to find. owner was friendly and helpful. overall, great find.. have elevator (yess!) and self storage for luggages. may come back with others

no cutlery in shared pantry. i'm ok with other stuff but my friends were complaining about room too small, no option for simple breakfast, laundry services (not self service or free) since they cannot go out but have to wait until laundry finish at unknown time.

Location: great position, in the middle of Myeong-dong area. Room: bed is comfy, clean and wide for one person. Staff: the reception guy was kind. Amenities: water refiller, face wash foam cleanser in the bathroom. Safety: the female dorm entrance and the rooms had security pads with codes provided at the check-in. Luggage storage after check-out: free of charge.

Room: a bit cramped with the luggages around; no windows, probably better as the area is loud during the evening/night. Price: considering the price per night, it's a deal. Staff: the reception guy doesn't speak English well. Check-in: slow overall, also payment at front is better with cash as some vendors charge extra fee if you choose the credit card. Luggage storage after check-out: free, just outside the locked lobby, so not supervised by anyone.

Location is absolutely amazing!! Everything you need is right on your doorstep. Many restaurants, shops,cafes and the metro is only a short walk away. Room size is compact but what I expected in Seoul. Beds were comfy, rooms are clean.

You can't eat in the hotel rooms, air-conditioner turns off in the middle of the night. Shower has no door, so you have no choice but to make a wet floor mess.

The best bed I've slept in in a while. Location is fabulous. Good amenities in the guest house (except the toilets).

The toilets for the female dormitory are outside the area and they are actually the public toilets for the floor, so used by anyone in the building. The place is very safe, but still feels quite uncomfortable to have to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. Clearly cleanliness of these toilets was not up to standard with the rest of the facilities. The showers thankfully are in the main guesthouse.

The location is perfect for first time travellers to Korea bec it is near the shopping areas, restaurants and street foods. Also very near the train station. The bed, pillows and blanket are very comfortable.

The room is a little small but it's OK. It's bigger than what we had in HK The dinning area is small

Perfect location, luggage storage available, shampoo available, helpful receptionist, good price, generally clean and comfort

for dormitory only one tiny small towel available, thus you can ask for a new one every day, too small room with no window, clearness is medium (I had chocolate marks along my bed for previous person, even if eating in the room is not allowed), difficult to control Temperature of the water at shower, especially at high demand time. Toilet clearness suffer on sundays.

I liked the location and the bed and pillows.

The toilet had some mold on the dor during to water after showers. The male staff at front desk was not super friendly when we had to check in (might be lack of English)

Excellent location, close to many food outlets, air conditioning and toiletries all provided (shampoo, conditioner, face wash, toothpaste, body wash) staff were very willing to help but sometimes there were english misunderstandings

Didnt open till 3, so my long flight landed at 6 am but had to be out till 3pm . Although, there was storage in front of hotel. Shower was either too hot or too cold. English could be better from reception staff.

Great place to stay-in! Lots of food/restaurant around to eat at. However, you cannot eat inside the room and you must eat in the kitchen.
