This was the perfect stay in a neighbourhood worth exploring. The room was clean, comfy bed, silent and well filtered. I would definitely stay here again. The housekeeper was a lovely gentleman who was happy to assist. Great location close to everything without the chaos.

The hotel location is good in the that it is central to most areas a tourist would want to visit and bad in that it is above a bar in the alleyway and even on the top floor you can constantly hear drunk people until 3am no matter the day of the week. This would be OK if you are wanting to party during your stay but I wouldn't recommend staying longer than 1 or 2 nights. The bathroom is 1/3 of the total room and the rooms are tiny and not suited to anyone with larger suitcases. We were staying longer than a week and had multiple issues the biggest being that the hot water stopped working 5 times. This was made worse by the fact that attempting to contact anyone at the hotel will get you nowhere. Messages through Expedia never get looked at and texting or calling both the daytime manager and after hours assistance do not work. I even left notes attached to my door which were ignored. We were lucky enough to bump into him in person to explain in the end about the hot water. Also as far as cleaning it was removal of rubbish and straightening the bed with one time the bathroom got cleaned the day before we left, the toilet got a dirt line along the waterline for 3 days so I could see it was not being cleaned.

No staff on property. We arrived very early, and since check lin is on a kiosk, no early checkin is available. There’s also no option to leave your bags if you want to walk around before check in time. No full size bath towels available on property. The room was dark and clean, and we were able to get great sleep each night.

We were hesitant at first to continue our booking with Hotel Sept or Guwol Hotel due to the negative reviews about it here, but after staying there, we were just glad that we kept the reservation. Note there was cancellation fee if we cancel. We arrived past 10:00 pm. It was a self checkin in the main floor. We did not have the booking number but somebody on the intercom helped us. The room was clean and we can say that it was newly renovated. We had a queen bed with enough room for the the 2 big luggages and 2 carry on bags we had. There was TV, very good AC, hair blower, towels, and 2 bottled water in the fridge. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable enough. Everyday, they changed our towels, removed the trash, and replaced the bottled water. There were some things that could have been better. The first one is having a staff on site. There was nobody on site. We never met the cleaners. Second, the communication via the Expedia app was non existent, with no response to our questions. We just received the templated welcome email and nothing else. No response to our questions. Third, it would have been nice to have extra pillows, as there were only 2. Overall, even with the no communication, in the end our stay was pleasant. After we checked in, we really did not need anything from anybody. Checkout was via the computer as well. If asked if we would stay again, we will. Specially considering how close it is to the train and bus. There are also lockers on site.

【立地・アクセス】 7泊8日の一人旅で利用しました。金浦空港から地下鉄5号線で乗り換えなしで到着でき、最寄り駅からも徒歩5分圏内とアクセス抜群です。周辺には遅くまで営業している飲食店やカフェ、コンビニ、Olive Young、ダイソーなどが揃っており、滞在中全く困りませんでした。ホテルは少し薄暗い路地にありますが、治安の悪さは感じません。 【チェックイン・荷物】 完全無人のため、深夜フライトでもスムーズにチェックイン可能です。 ⚠️注意点として、カードキーは1枚のみです。部屋に置き忘れてオートロックがかかると電話連絡するしかなく、深夜帯は特に注意が必要です。また、無人のためチェックアウト後の荷物預かりは不可。ロビーに有料ロッカーがありますが、中に入るにはホテルのカードキーが必要なため、目的地周辺の駅やモールのロッカー利用をおすすめします。 【部屋・設備】 写真より手狭で窓のない閉鎖的な空間ですが、一人なら十分快適でした。 水回り: トイレは紙を流せます。シャワーの水圧も申し分なし。ただユニットバスなのでシャワー後は床が濡れます。 空調・通信: 部屋ごとのWi-Fiがありネット環境はバッチリ。空調も微調整可能です。カードキー差し込み口に別の適当なカードを差しておけば、外出中も快適な室温を保てます。 電源: ベッド脇にUSB-CとUSB-Aポートあり。コンセントの変換プラグは必須です。 【清掃・サービス】 清掃やタオル交換は「MAKE UP」の札をドアノブにかけるシステムです。私の部屋には札がありませんでしたが、毎日9時頃に来る清掃のおじさんに直接お願いして対応してもらいました。おじさんは日本語が話せてとても丁寧な方なので、一人でも安心感があります（滞在中、他の日本人客には会いませんでした）。ロビーには急な雨に使える貸出傘もあります。 【その他（音・洗濯・喫煙）】 音: 金・土曜は近くの飲食店の声が深夜まで聞こえますが、平日はとても静かです。 洗濯: 宿泊者用の洗濯機はないため、自分で手洗いセットを持参するか近くの施設を探す必要があります。 喫煙: 館内禁煙。6Fのルーフトップ（要携帯灰皿）か、ホテル前で喫煙可能です。 【総評】 周辺ホテルと比べて割安なため、ほぼ毎日満室でした。スタッフ常駐の安心感を求める方には不向きかもしれませんが、割り切って使える方にはコスパが良く、私も次回韓国に来た際はリピートする可能性大です。良いホテルでした。

ホテル到着してすぐに電気使用の不具合で部屋が停電になった時や、洗濯の話をした時ホテルの責任者さんが親切に対応してもらい本当にお世話になりました。少し日本語が話せる責任者さんでよかったです。次回も同じ責任者さんであれば再度利用したいと思います。 又、ホテルの近くにはいろんな食べ物屋さんがあるので食べるには問題ないと思います。
