Hotel Analysis
Based on 7 sites · 403 reviews
A 2-star small hotel in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Just 2 minutes walk from Jongno 5-ga Station for convenient transport, but located in a red-light alley, many reviews mention it feels scary at night.
Guests commonly praise 'clean rooms' across reviews. Feels new due to 2024 renovation, with daily cleaning and water refills noted repeatedly. Self check-in is convenient. Business travelers and solo guests appreciate the location, but couples and solo females dislike the neighborhood vibe.
However, rooms are extremely small, a complaint in nearly every review. Issues like clogged shower drains, no water pressure, cockroaches, and mold smells are frequently mentioned. Unmanned operation makes it hard to contact staff during problems.
Good for budget sleep-only stays, but not for those prioritizing privacy and safety.
