Hotel Analysis
Based on 7 sites · 146 reviews
Small hotel right in front of Gwangjang Market in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Guests repeatedly mention that 'everything is clean because it's newly opened.' The ondol floor is warm and rooms feel cozy, as noted across multiple booking sites.
Families and groups say they 'cooked simple meals with the microwave and sink' and 'loved the washer-dryer.' Jongno 5-ga Station is nearby, making it easy to get to Dongdaemun or Cheonggyecheon. Unmanned kiosk check-in is convenient.
However, the entrance in a back alley is hard to find at first. Some complain about narrow bathroom shower space or water splashing. No daily cleaning for longer stays is worth noting.
Great for families or friends enjoying Gwangjang Market food.
