1 stay in 2 different rooms and experiences
I stayed prior to a tour and then with a tour. The 1st 3 nights were in a twin bunk bed room which was small but cosy. There was storage space and enough room for me on my own with a nice little bathroom. I was away from the mark desk area so managed to get a fair degree of quiet to sleep. Mattresses were comfortable and there was a light switch and charging point by the bed. The cleaning products were kept in front of my room and people would start to get up for breakfast around 7 so that’s when it would get a little louder. Breakfast had some baked eggs, toast, juice, 2 types of cereal. I like those 1st few few nights. The next few, less so. Moved to a much more spacious room with a double bed, there was no storage space but with the space in the room, I had enough to open out a small and medium sized suitcase. The bathroom was similar to previously with good pressure. The bad bits though was the location being next to the elevators so more noise through the night but I think I was only noticing this because the bed was very very firm. It was an uncomfortable sleep and I wasn’t the only one who felt this. The team tried to get me some thin mattress toppers but they made marginal difference to the springs being felt. Otherwise the location is wonderful with everything you need at your fingertips!

They never cleaned the room in the six days I was there , no assistance from staff in regards to directions to anywhere… very disconnected from the client… breakfast should have been included but they only had toast and cereal with coffee with the expectation to wash your own dishes 😡😡😡
The location is very convenient since is right in the middle of Seoul

The worst accommodation we've stayed during our 3 weeks journey, the photos on the site and reality doesn't match as you can easily see mold on the walls and rust on the doors definitely don't worth any penny

Breakfast was okay . Bread jam, peanut better , cereal, eggs. Coffee juice milk .
The room was a bunk bed and was small. I personally would book the double beds ..I definitely need more space. The bathroom had mold but it makes sense because there’s no vent/ circulation and don’t leave the door open because then the room would be musty and damp . Area around was great but I would try another hotel in the area to see if they maybe they are better . I’m a little boujee so I could be a little to hard

It was my first time in Korea so I was not sure what to expect and had a bit of trouble finding the check in counter but after I read it was on the 15th floor, I found it. There was a bit of trouble as my reservation couldn’t be found at first but luckily he did find it after awhile. For breakfast I wanted a bit more Korean Theme options and I would be willing to pay for those meals. For breakfast, we had hard boiled eggs with shell on which we had to peel, bread, oatmeal and ham lunch meat. We washed our own dishes once we finished

Very central location with easy access to public transport, shopping, restaurants, and many tourist spots. All the staff looked exhausted and over-worked but are helpful. The facility is labeled as 'bed and breakfast' outside the building and it is more like a hostel in many sense. We booked a room with a view to Myeongdong church but this was not the case. Room was tiny and when we arrived, the room was so stuffy and dusty but improved with some ventilation and everything was in working order. Not ideal for a long stay but great for a few nights for sight seeing visit and well priced for the location.

Super helpful staff!! Thank you for everything!!
This was a great base to explore Seoul.
I was hoping that they would have traditional Korean breakfast instead of continental style breakfast (eggs, bread, cereal), but this is just a personal preference and not a complaint. They did have great sauna eggs every day. Loved them!!
