Excellent

I stayed in this hotel a few times already whenever I visit Korea. Great location, amazingly friendly staff. Reasonable price. Clean and warm. Nothing to complain really. I know I will come back to this place on my next visit.
Room was large and had everything required. Location was great. The hotel had put a few extra signs to make it easier to find in the confusing alley ways.
Great location once you figure out how to find it (use Hotel Venue G as landmark). The room was very clean, quiet, spacious and included all basic amenities. The staff was great and super helpful. They provided us with a converter, shower curtain and extra comforter as the bed was too firm for my friend. Overall a great stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was wonderful, and the rooms were very clean, but the location wasn't ideal for walking at night.
Room very big and immaculately clean. There is a kettle, fridge and they provide fresh water bottles everyday. It was our first time visiting, and really enjoyed the busy areas 5-10mins walk away, but with the streets around the hotel being very quiet.
The only thing that lets this hotel down is the road access to it! Such a shame as once you are in the hotel it is very clean, welcoming and perfect for solo travellers. The rooms are spacious and very clean, the breakfast is straightforward (but great for setting you up for the day), and for what you pay everything is good value. Great central location, easy to walk and reasonably near to the subway, although taxis are reasonably priced and accessible. Overall a very good stay
In my view, it is the best hotel to go Myondon and East gate.
Also alls staff members were kind and hotel properties were clean.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was very hot and humid as soon as you turned off the air conditioner. Breakfast is not worth paying for. Otherwise it's a good hotel. Clean and a good service.
The hotel is super clean and new. The breakfast buffet is satisfying and meets our expectation. I travelled with my family and I like that they have a spacious bathroom with bidet toilet which is cool and easy to use. The staff is helpful as well.
The staff were amazing. Went above and beyond. The hotel overall was clean, but some minor stains on bedsheets but we didnt mind too much. Great location, public transport easily accessible
I would highly recommend this hotel as the rooms were very roomy and comfortable. The staff went out of the way to help with anything we needed. They are very friendly. The breakfast was reasonably priced and and very tasty. The hotel is very close to transportation and many restaurants and shopping.
The room was simple, but very spacious and tidy. The staff were also very nice and welcoming. They were accommodating when I arrived from a later flight (after midnight). The location was also quite convenient, as it was an easy walk to a bus stop or metro. The only complaint I have is it is hard to find the location initially, as it is located in an alley. Easiest way to locate it (especially by taxi/uber) is to look up ‘Hotel Venue G’. Then you will easily notice a sign that points to the direction of the hotel.
Room was spacious and clean. Very centrally located and not far from the main road. It is behind a building but that also meant it was quiet. Easy to walk to Ikseon-dong or Myeongdong. Water and towels were provided each day. They were happy to lend us a charging adapter because we forgot to bring ours. Ice is available on the first floor. Laundry is available on the top floor. Only gripe was that there was no shower curtain or glass to keep the bathroom dry while showering. But it was a minor issue as the bathroom was large so mostly stayed dry.
