The rooms are small but very functional. Once you get last that, the location is convenient and the staff is very helpful. The lack of window may throw people off, but you get used to it pretty quickly. Specially after a tiring day out!

We had a no window room. Walls are paper thin; we could hear 2 neighbours very clearly, would have been 3 if we weren’t on a corner room. Extremely small room, our luggage took up half of the floor space. Beds were pretty bad, you can hear the springs as you move around for example. Hot and not enough air movement; we had an AC unit we had to always have on and it was hard to control temperature. Shower curtain was dirty with mold; couldn’t find a replacement as it was self cleaning service. We just didn’t use or touch the curtain. Shower temperature really hard to control, 1cm to far and it was cold or boiling. Free laundry which was awesome, but only 1 washer and dryer; got lucky since no one was using it when we did. Location was great; close to great restaurants, convenience store, all transportation. Self service station was close and convenient; like towels, garbage/recycling, etc. Lounge was decent; clean water dispenser, plenty of seating, microwave. Wifi was good. Stayed as a couple the access card has to be inserted in a slot when you enter the room to turn all power on, subsequently turned all power off when removed; was inconvenient when one person wanted to leave/stay. Overall it was ok, but wish we did more research before booking, no refunds.

For starter, this is more like a guesthouse than a hotel. You have to change towel yourself etc. However, there is room service, which you have to request physically at the lobby. Wall is thin, like if you have sex, people could literally hear outside the door. But once you inside, you can't really hear outside. Room is quite big for the price I paid, with mini fridge and decent space to pack my luggage. Location wise, it's 5 min walk near City Hall (green line) and Hoehyeon (Light Blue Line). About 10 mins walk to Myeongdong via above ground or fully sheltered. Also about 15-20 mins walk from Seoul Station, so I recommend you to walk here if you coming from there. You will walk pass Seoullo and Namdaemun Market. Food wise is good, there's a popular jap ramen stall just outside the building. Also a 24 hours must try kimchi soup place within 5 mins walk. Past night to about 1-2am, there will be lost of street vendors selling good BBQ food, also must try.

We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. Finding the hotel with Naver was easy. Just make sure to look for Irene City Hotel and not Irene Hotel. The check-in was a bit confusing. When we got there, there was no one at the front desk. However, there were 2 room cards that we tried and managed to find our room on our own. The room was perfect if you plan to use it to keep your luggage, get ready to spend the day outside, and sleep. The only thing we struggled a bit with was communication. The front desk was always empty except when we went to check out at 11 am. And when contacting the property via chat through Expedia a day before our arrival and during our time there we didn't receive a reply. This is important if you do not have a phone line service to contact the number provided. Overall it was very convenient location-wise and provided everything we needed during our stay.

The hotel is well-located, easy to find, and clean. Items like towels, toilet paper, and toothpaste are easy to find without needing to contact the front desk. It's a good palce to stay.

入口がわからなくて、彷徨ったけど住所を頼りになんとか辿り着けた時にはホッとした！ スタッフは無口でバスタオルの場所がわからないなどちょっと不慣れな感じたったので、「普通」の評価です。でも質問すれば答えてくれます！ 周りはレストランも沢山あって、明洞まで歩いて行ける距離なので、立地は最高でした♪

価格が安いのでそうなのですが、タオルは共有スペースに置いていて、自分で変える感じで、ごみも自分で捨てるシステムです。 シャワーはカーテンなかったものの浴槽タイプでしたので床ビチョビチョ状態にはならなかったです。 最初入口見つけるのが難しかったですが、すぐ慣れました。 最後の日もチェックアウトはフロントの人がいなくても、カードキーを箱にいれておけばいいだけでした。

よかったです
部屋は清潔でにおいもなくとてもよかったです。アメニティも充実していました。シャワーの扉の下が少し開いていたので、シャワーの後は入口が濡れてしまいどうにか対策していただければと思います。隣の部屋が電話していたのか複数名いたのかわかりませんがパーティーのような盛り上がり方をしていて、音が気になる方は嫌かもしれません。荷物預かりサービスもあり、個人的にはとてもよかったです。

値段もそれなりでホテルとのことだったので清掃もあるもんだと思っていましたが、ありませんでした。清掃なくても綺麗な状態なのでよかったですが…壁が薄すぎて他の部屋のドアの開閉音ですら聞こえます。どちらかというとゲスハに近い感じでした。アクセスはいいですし、ハイシーズンでなければ値段も落ち着いてそうなのでまた利用したいです。

방음 안돼요. 다른 방 외국인이 전화 통화하는 거 다 들리고 다른 방 코 골고 자는 소리가 제 옆에 누군가 누워서 코 고는 것처럼 들려요. 헤어드라이기는 4층 데스크에서 따로 가져와야 하는지 방에 없었어요. 체크인 하러 4층에 갔더니 아무도 없어서 적혀있는 번호로 전화하니 남자분이 친절하게 접수해주셔서 좋았습니다

リーズナブルな価格なのに、お部屋のお風呂に湯船があって、ロビーにはミネラルウォーターサーバーがあり、駅近でとても良かったです。また利用したいので改善してほしい点は、シャワーヘッドをかけるところがグラグラしていて、かけながらシャワーを浴びることができず、手に持ちながら洗うのは大変でした。壁が薄く隣りの声がうるさくて、夜中に起きている人たちが泊まっている時には眠れずに辛かったです。その人たちは他の部屋に迷惑がかかっていることに気づいていません。そのため、各部屋に、壁が薄いので静かに過ごすような張り紙をしてほしいです。そして、夜勤のスタッフは日本語と英語が通じません。
