Amazing

The staff was so nice and the room was great! I enjoyed the bath. There is a 7-Eleven and Starbucks nearby. Only a 25-minute walk to Lotte Tower (or walk maybe 5 mins to subway station).

Great location.
The worst part is the check out time at 11am.
No late check out is allowed.
Very old hotel, should be renovated asap.
The hotel staffs are quite nice & speak well English.
Do not expect more coz the coffee shop is closed down.
No free lounge access & no free drinks.
Just 2 bottles water inside the room.

There were three of us traveling. Two women and a teenager. The downside of the hotel is that there really is no door between the room and the bathroom. There is a thin glass partition between the shower and toilet. Very inconvenient. Overall, it is located close to the metro, there are many restaurants, but it takes about 30 minutes to get to the center and attractions by metro, and the hotel is clearly not the first freshness.

I had a good rest. The staff were friendly and it was nice that there was a bathtub. However, it was a pity that there was no bathroom door. I will visit again next time.

The worst hotel I stayed in Korea
First, the hygiene is not good and the cleaning is not clean
Second, the front desk service is not good, it is equivalent to having no front desk
Third, the facilities are not good, even toothbrushes and disposable utensils are not provided
Fourth, this is just a hotel, not a big hotel at all

It's a 5-minute walk from the station on a flat road. There is a Starbucks and a 7-Eleven next door, and there are many restaurants nearby, so you won't have any trouble finding something to eat.
The room was clean and the front desk staff were friendly and left a good impression.
The amenities are minimal, so I recommend bringing what you need. There is shampoo, conditioner, body soap, tissues, free water, tea, and coffee.
Bringing toothbrushes and skin care is a must.
The bathtub was big and nice, but the downside is that you have to be careful not to flood the entire wet room, but it's good value for money and the room is spacious, so I'll definitely come back!
I was supposed to have my luggage stored after checking out in the morning, but the front desk was unmanned and handled remotely, so I was a little worried. I spoke to the remote camera in English, so they handled it in English, but maybe they also handled it in Japanese... People who only speak Japanese might be worried.

For the money, it's just an ideal hotel, quiet, calm, clean, has a bathroom. Nearby is the Sport Complex metro station, brown line, exit 14. There are many places to eat around, shopping centers are nearby. I recommend it

I usually stay in a hotel near Seoul Station, but this time I had business in the Olympic Park area, so I stayed at this hotel.
When checking in, if the front desk is unmanned, you use a machine, but there is a camera above your head, and you communicate with the staff behind it by voice. They ask you in English to show them your passport, but at first I didn't realize where the camera was. lol
The room was spacious and clean! It wasn't cigarette smoke, but there were times when I smelled a little bit of it.
The room was cleaned every day, and it was cleaned very well. The bathtub and shower room were separated.
If there is someone at the front desk, they will greet you.
There was a staff member who could speak a little Japanese.
There is a mirror embedded in the wall of the bathtub, and a red light was always shining from it, which was the only mystery. (I should have asked the staff...)
There are many izakayas, restaurants, and convenience stores around. There is a cafe, but it gave the impression of being more of a night town.
Right next to the hotel? There is a club-like shop called Music Something, and the sound from there echoed all the way to the room on Friday and Saturday nights. If you are sensitive to noise, you may not be able to sleep.
Sunday was quiet!

The hotel is in a great location, and it is very convenient to eat. There are many restaurants around, and it is very good to walk around. At night, it is smart check-in. The room is quite large, a good choice

Excellent hotel! Liked everything! Check-in was done in three minutes! Clean, cleaning every day, water, tea and coffee every day too. The bed is very comfortable, the linen and towels are snow-white. The water pressure in the shower is good, there is shampoo, shower gel, and hair conditioner. Our room also had a bathtub, but we never used it, there was no time, as we came to the room tired, quickly went to the shower and went to bed. The metro is nearby. Bus stops, shops, cafes, Starbucks, Burger King, McDonald's are also nearby. In general, we recommend this hotel! We will definitely come here again!

It's great when you go to Jamsil to watch baseball. The staff is also friendly.
