Really good options for public transportation, affordable, and lots of amenities offered (free laundry, breakfast, water and pop available in the lobby at all times.) you could tell the manager was doing his best to ensure everyone enjoyed their stay.

Room was clean and a very good value. Sufficient in size for a brief stay to visit a child attending Yonsei U. Very convenient walk to the university and surrounding area, and bus 6002 from the airport drops you directly across from the hotel. This is a local hotel, so don't expect the amenities or service of a big western hotel chain, but it was perfect. I will stay here again on my next visit. Note that AC is not available until May.

Great service and very friendly. Big room with a big TV and PC computer. Massive bath.
Only issue is the design of the bathroom. As the bath is raised, it is a little dangerous trying to get in and out. It's also hard to walk in and out of the bathroom as the sliding door only opens a little and there is a hole for the drain.

Excellent value for money
Everyone was very attentive and responded to all our requests.
Very nice neighborhood, lots of restaurants and shops nearby, very safe. The bathroom is open, so I recommend it for couples or people who are very intimate. I recommend it and would stay again.

Very comfortable hotel. Not the cheapest, but it definitely could've been more expensive. Easily reachable by bus and metro, but not within walking distance of any of the main neighborhoods. One thing that did bother us was the smell of smoke, but that's not true for all rooms.

The location is excellent—close to two stations. The rooms are cleaned upon request, and they have coffee, eggs, toast, and bottled water every morning, which is nice to start the day. The manager - Woo Chul- is very helpful and gives advice and good recommendations. We would stay there again as the staff is super nice and the area is very hip and full of good vibes.

Wonderful stay in the heart of Seoul
Wonderful stay! Perfect for budget travelers. Close to university, and mountain hikes. Delicious coffee from the espresso machine downstairs (better than one from 7-eleven or CU). Bed is big. They have working jacuzzi in the rooms and they sell bath salts in convenience store nearby.
The staff is very friendly and caring! :)

For a foreigner from Los Angeles this hotel was amazing. Close to sinchon station so easy to get to Seoul station if you need to travel within korea. I didn’t go to the airport but it’s easy to get there too as it’s close to the airport line. super nice area that’s not well known but has good food and is somewhat quiet which is rare for Seoul. Rooms are very nice and clean. This is the first hotel I’ve rated in Korea during my two week trip because for the price and location it is definitely a steal. Stay here
