One of the most charming, thoughtful, friendliest hotel we stayed at. Location is amazing. Very central and walking distance to Jongno 3 ga and everywhere else. Also Airport limousine bus stop is right outside the door. Itās a recently opened hotel and located on the 8th floor of the YMCA building. The staffs were all attentive and amazing. Definitely would stay here again when we come back to Seoul. Mahalo!

What an experience at this traditional but convenient setting with modern mixture.
The staffs were wonderful and property was extremely well maintained.
One minor concern is that they did not install any towel hanger so it was a bit uncomfortable.

Being able to do my laundry was great, and I really liked the market next door. Carrying my bag up the stairs to the 4th floor was brutal though.

This was an excellent experience, cute house that we really enjoyed. The owners were amazing, very sweet and attentive over our three nights here.
This is not a hotel stay, so donāt expect that. However they took amazing care of us, restocked some kitchen basics daily, etc.
The only item we did have is that the bed, especially the floor mats in the larger room were uncomfortable. Itās just a thin mat on the floor, which was OK but if you need a mattress and struggle on the floor be aware.

As an airline crew, I have spent at least a half of any given calendar year in hotels for past 28+ years. When I walk into a hotel, there are a few things I look for and appreciate. 1. Is it clean? I even check inside of room vents. 2. Is the surrounding area deemed safe enough to walk as a female? 3. Are hotel staffs hospitable to help with my needs? 4. Is bedding comfortable and clean? 5. Is there interesting attractions near the hotel? 6. What are my food options? 7. Is there any extra...

The room was very cleaned, and cleaned every day of our stay. The staff were kind, helpful, and very informative about events or how to travel in the area. If I could stay longer, I would choose this hotel again. Check-in and Check-out were very simple, you can use either kiosk or front desk (if a person is there). Towels were changed everyday, room claned, garbage thrown away, and free water bottles. Very nice place. Thank you!

This hotel was in a wonderful location! It is close to the palaces, the park, convenient to the subway and busses. It is quieter than other locations weāve stayed in Seoul. The staff was exceptionally helpful and responsive. I will definitely stay here again!

The check-in staff was unattentive, not very hospitable and didnāt give us much information, just answered our questions. We asked for city view room, but our room was facing a back alley of a building.
Other than that, our stay was amazing. Our room was super clean, beds were very comfy, the cleaning ladies and staffs during breakfast were very friendly & attentive. The location was great too. Walking distance to many places.
