Spacious and Functional

I was really impressed with the size of the room. It was very spacious with plenty of storage, even in the bathroom. The kitchenette was well-equipped with basic cooking essentials, and there was a desk where I could easily check emails and work. Overall, it made my stay so much more comfortable.

Clean and Convenient

The bathroom was kept very clean throughout my stay, and I appreciated the hot water and water pressure. It felt nice to have a well-maintained space to freshen up after a long day of exploring Seoul. Everything worked well, and towels were replaced regularly.

Great Entertainment Setup

The room came with a television that had several channels, making it easy to unwind after a day out. I loved having a cozy spot to relax in while catching up on some shows. The room was equipped with a radio/clock for added convenience.

Self-Catering Convenience

One of the best features was the kitchenette. I enjoyed the flexibility of preparing my own quick meals instead of always dining out. It really added a home-like vibe to my stay, especially on nights when I just wanted a cozy dinner in my room.

I found this hotel to be quite satisfactory for the price, especially with its prime location between Dongdaemun and Uljiro 4. While the room felt a bit outdated, it was cozy for two and a good base for exploring the vibrant markets nearby, like Gwangjang. However, the service regarding luggage handling wasn't the best experience, and the dining options left a lot to be desired. Overall, the value for money is decent due to its location and price point.
