Great location, friendly staff, cute hotel!
A friend and I stayed for two nights and it was a really cute hotel. The bed was comfortable, shower was nice, amenities great and the location was perfect! The only thing is we found a used condom on the floor next to the bed so that was gross but the staff was super friendly. Oh and also the stairs were full of towels, etc so it was hard to go up the stairs. We just took the elevator every time. Definitely would stay again and recomend the hotel.

Not a good option for rest or sleep
We arrived for check in at around 7 pm. We were told we had the option between two rooms: a small one which was ready right away and a slightly larger one that would be ready in five minutes. We viewed the smaller room and refused right away. We decided to wait five minutes to view the larger room. It was no better. This review is based on a quick viewing of the first room (room 301) and a very brief stay in the second room (room 302). Our room had a mirror on the ceiling above the bed, holes in the wall to the right of the bed (which were covered up with tissue), the smell of cigarette smoke and perfume, a poorly functioning sink faucet that poured (not just leaked) water all over the sink area and floor, and fair amount of mould on the washroom tiles and walls. (To be clear, the holes in the wall were created when a fixture was removed; they were not “peeping” holes. Nevertheless, they added a strange feeling to the room.) The staff seemed sincere, but their friendly service did little to address issues of comfort. (When we expressed concern about the smell of smoke and perfume in the first room we viewed, the older gentleman’s response was that we should have booked a different hotel. He wasn’t rude when he made the suggestion. He appeared to be genuinely trying to let us know that we would not feel comfortable in the hotel.) This “hotel” was a terrible option for us, and we left within the hour.

World's best hotel Director
Hotel Director Jeongwon Daniel Lee went above and beyond to help us during a difficult situation. He was also on call to assist with any needed English translation with the staff. Everybody was very friendly and accommodating. Exceptional bedding. A great choice when traveling on a budget.

Hotel?
The hotel is misrepresented. This is a small motel, with a bit of deco. The room is small. There is no space for luggage, no closet, and only one hanger behind the door. Good location if you could not find a reasonable room near Hongik or Erwa university.

Good hotel near Yonsei University
Great value for money; good wifi; espresso machine in lobby; great location near Yonsei University and restaurant area; close to Metro station. Only negatives were that rooms were on the small side and bathroom toiletries were not that great. While staff spoke little English, it was enough to be understood.
