I think it's perfect for family trips or large groups!! Check-in was late, but they left the key for me so I was able to check in. They also arranged for a car to the airport. Thank you!

The receptionist was very friendly and the hotel was in a good location, so it was great! It takes a bit of skill to open and close the door.

My flight was cancelled due to the snow, so I made a last-minute reservation. It's a cheap place to stay and the quality is commensurate with the price. However, the location is on the Pink Street, so I wouldn't recommend it, especially for women. There was nothing there, but it was kind of scary. The front desk staff was very kind.

The entrance is really hard to find, but look for the carrot sign. The hotel is like a boarding house and the beds are hard, but the location is really great! It's close to the station, so I recommend it for those who want to go to Dongdaemun or Soba noodles at night! The staff were also very friendly◎

The location was good, close to Jongno 5-ga Station and Dongdaemun Exit 9. The hotel's location was a little difficult to find, but it was very close to Dongdaemun Dakgalbi Street. The room was spacious and there was plenty of room for two suitcases. However, on the first day, the heating didn't work, the front desk was not there, and there was no reply to my LINE or Katok messages, so I slept in the cold, bundled up in my clothes. The next day, they replied and responded immediately. There was an ondol heater, so it was very warm. The front desk staff was better at Japanese than Korean. It was very helpful. There is no partition between the shower room and the toilet, but it is spacious so it doesn't bother me. All the amenities are provided, but there is no toothbrush. The washing machine is free, but detergent is purchased. There is a water server, so water is not an issue. There was also a microwave. There were also many outlets. The downside is that the walls in the room are thin. On the first day, I could hear singing from a nearby karaoke until late at night.

I arrived on a late-night flight so check-in was at 2am. Due to my own negligence, I didn't read the instructions and they said that if you're arriving after 11pm you need to contact them in advance. I didn't realise this until 11pm on the day itself and was feeling hopeless, but I contacted them via chat anyway. Thankfully, they were concerned about me not checking in and contacted me with the password etc so that I could check in myself even in the middle of the night. They also responded quickly via chat, which was very helpful. When I tried to check out, the door to my room wouldn't open, so I contacted them via chat and they responded right away. I think this is a hotel that really takes care of their staff. The price was also reasonable, so I'd probably use them again.

This hostel was renovated from a former motel. Get off the airport bus at Jongno 6-ga, walk in the direction of the bus, and you will see an LG shop. Turn right there, then turn left into the first alley and go through the pink shop to find the hostel. It's close to the bus stop. The room wasn't that big, but it was reasonably clean. The shower and toilet are the same as in Korea, but the space is spacious, so it's not a problem. The shower water pressure is pretty good! The hot water comes out properly! The drainage is good too! Towels are in the room, but you can get them yourself from the first floor if you need them. There is a hair dryer in the room. The front desk is not staffed 24 hours a day, but there is always someone there during the day. Gina speaks fluent Japanese, and there is also someone who speaks English. The owner is Korean, but he can speak Korean, English, Chinese, and basic Japanese. I don't recommend this place to people who are used to staying in hotels, but if you are somewhat familiar with Korea and have stayed in hostels or guest houses, you should be able to stay there without any problems.

Ok to stay 3-4 days. Laundry in the hotel. Value for money a bit high but we are still in the center.
