The area was central and well connected to the rest of the city; we especially enjoyed being close to the beautiful Insa‑dong neighborhood and the Cheonggyecheon canal, which was great for strolling. The bed, pillows and duvet were very comfortable. The room was equipped with everything you could need: a small fridge, hair dryer, toiletries, earplugs, adapters, unlimited towels. The room was pretty. The street where the hotel is located is noisy; on the first night, for example, the music stopped beating our drums only at 4 am, and on subsequent nights – I have no idea why – the noise definitely decreased and we only heard people chatting and occasional shrieks. The carpet on the floor had a sticky spot, even though the room overall was clean, especially the bathroom. It was very hot (outside in October the air was cool and pleasant) and the windows were closed, even though they were locked. There was a clear ventilation problem because the room always smelled damp, and the common areas had a strong scent of air freshener, probably to mask the damp smell. The self‑serve breakfast was quite insignificant, and since guests had to wash cups and dishes, they often found the utensils dirty. At the entrance you had to take off shoes and wear the plastic slippers provided, which smelled like feet and looked awful. All of this we would have expected from a hostel with shared rooms, but certainly not from a place that costs 120 € per night.
