The Perfect Haven in Seoul, Complete with Friendly Service and Spotless Rooms My stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful. Having lodged here last January and returned, it's clear this spot keeps drawing me back. The room was spotless, with particularly pristine bedding which ensured a super comfy night. Its quiet location made it the perfect spot to unwind. The beef soup and dumplings served at the North Korean restaurant right at the alley’s entrance were top-notch. Kit, the front desk officer from Hong Kong, was immensely friendly and fluent in English, making communication a breeze. With its reasonable prices and excellent service, I've firmly decided to stay here whenever I'm in Seoul. It feels like I've found my own little haven, much like something out of The Guardian's travel pages. Highly recommend!

The hotel did not seem to match what I saw on the website. It looked really modern and clean on the website. However, in person, it was more run-down. The outside common area was dirty and there were dead plants and old broken furniture piled up. There was mold in the shower. Besides that, the bed and toilet were clean. It is a little bit of a walk to the restaurants. There are many hotels in the area, so I will definitely find something cleaner for my next trip to Seoul.
