It was easy to find because it was right outside exit 3 of Dongdaemun Station. The bedding was clean and I felt good, and the owner was also very kind and gave me good directions to Seoul. I had a good breakfast and I am satisfied with my stay.

The rooms and public spaces were clean and well-maintained, so I was able to stay comfortably. The bedding was clean, and the shower and toilet were hygienically maintained. The price was quite reasonable for a place located in the center of Seoul, and the facilities and service were excellent for the price of the accommodation. A simple breakfast was also included, so I would like to recommend it to those looking for a cost-effective accommodation.

The boss is very kind and treats tourists very well. Extroverted people can chat with the boss, who is very talkative. The room is clean and all equipment is very new. Laundry and drying, free breakfast, and instant noodles are also provided. Overall, the CP value is very high!
