    Overall it was really nice. Just a simple hotel with nothing fancy but many great foods nearby.

    The shower heater is not consistent. Always changing between hot and cold when its not adjusted.

    Location is perfect. Near to DDP train station that has 3 lines, near to malls, and many street foods nearby.

    Would have appreciated teabags and coffee sachets. However, on the plus side, they provided extras not expected in most Western hotels like, hair spray, combs, etc

    No food is provided in the location, however at the entrance, one can help themselves to canned tea or water bottles and disposable chopsticks are provided for takeaway food bought outside to be consumed within the hotel. This is convenient when you want to head out immediately to explore and are not bothered with having breakfast on site. There are many food places surrounding the hotel anyway. Extremely well located if one can get past the fact that the hotel is in an alley way. Within minutes of wholesale shopping, Dongdaemun Cultural Centre and tube.

    Very, very convenient location and a clean room. Really nice staff and we were able to store our luggage for a couple of days before our stay and after check-out. The room was pretty small but it had everything we needed and there was space for all four of our suitcases to be open at the same time. Free bottled water and soft drinks in the fridge at reception were an excellent addition!! We would absolutely stay again!

    I think it’s good to stay just one night for convenience but not for comfort.

    The location is right in the middle of 东大门, close to metro station exit 13. Catch line 4 to go to Seoul station. Helpful staff, though they don’t talk much, but very friendly and helpful. Never let you down.

    Too small a room to access with your luggage and opening the bag got challenging. The lobby and room wasn’t as good as the floor lobby and the lift. Was okay.

    Super clean, extremely accommodative staff and the location was a bit inside in the lane, however didn’t really bother. Really appreciate the facility provided overall and the fact was there was no issue at all. Lot of eateries around, bus stop and the station was right outside so that was great.

    The room was dusty and old and I could also see the wall insulation from a part of the wall that was broken at the door. The brushes were clean but not new and neither was the hair gel, hair spray or toothpaste they made available for guests. I appreciate this is a lot more ecofriendly but just worry a little about hygiene given the pandemic. The room was also really small but given the price and location, can't complain. My aircon also started leaking after day 4 (I stayed 7 nights) and the shower does oscillate from hot to cold but I believe this is likely due to the water pressure in the building which is quite old

    The location was perfect with lots of food and shopping options within close proximity. While the hotel was located at a rather dodgy looking alley, i did not feel unsafe as a solo traveller even late at night as there were lots of regular shoppers and diners about. The room also had all the amenities you would need for your stay. They even provided free flow of drinking water, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel which all smelt really nice. Theer was also a hair dryer and straightening iron as well as brushes. And best of all, free Netflix subscription on a 55-inch LED Tv which beats some of what hotels in the area was offering. They also made up the room everyday and also allowed me to check in when I arrived at 2pm even though the site said check in was 6pm

    Check in time of 6pm

    It seems like a love motel but one that is more normal and clean and attracts a range of clientele. Location is pretty good, right in the heart of Dongdaemun albeit down a not very nice alleyway. The staff were friendly. Room was clean and had all basic necessities such as smart tv, hairdryer, robes, slippers, general amenities kit, water. Decent value.

    The room's entrance had an automatic light. Which is fine, but the light would turn on during the night. I couldn't find the sensor or a switch to turn it off. I had to wear an eye mask.

    The room was well appointed with a range toiletries. Check-in was fast and easy (I don't speak Korean). The hotel is new and it shows. Great location — there's a jimjilbang in the shopping centre across from the hotel.

    very basic small room, mattress is too soft, bathroom water heater too hot or cold during winter.

    great location just behind the APM mall, 5 min walking distance from metro exit, unlimited drinking water, polite and helpful staff.

    One day we came back and the room smelled a tiny bit like smoke - assuming the cleaner had a cigarette before cleaning but we just opened the window and it went away immediately

    The beds were very comfortable, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the sheer amount of offered facilities were amazing from free water bottles to universal adaptors in the rooms

    Check in time is so late i know it’s a hotel policy but at 6 pm is too late for me

    Hotel is quite closed at shopping mall , restaurants, cafe, and others. easy to get some drink , food , also late night . Nearly subway station ( But I can’t find the elevator from the subway stations) They always cleaned up your room every day.
