Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • English limited to one staff member — While the owner and a couple of staff speak English well, other staff may have limited English, which could be a hurdle for some guests.
  • Not central and a walk from the station — The hotel is outside the main tourist district, and the nearest subway station is about a 10-minute walk — manageable for some, inconvenient for others.
  • Basic amenities for the price — Given the modest rating and minimal category info, the hotel offers limited facilities compared to higher-star properties, and breakfast or on-site dining isn't mentioned.

“Although this hotel was close to Gimpo airport, it wasn't very far from the city centre. Actually, it was not near the station. But I think that a ten-minute walk from the station was not hard.”

“John, the owner, is really a great guy, very communicative, with excellent sense of humor. Thanks to him our stay in Seoul became unforgettable (I mean the soju party and octopus dinner ha-ha) he was always eager to help and gave us lots of useful information. The location is quite unique because this part of Seoul remains a sort of 'terra incognita' for foreigners, so it seemed exotic and attractive. Nearby is a traditional food market, one of the best in Seoul, very famous among locals, if you want to buy genuine kimchi or other delicious food it's the best place. The subway station is not far and using line 5 we could easily reach the most famous sightseeing places. Rooms are clean and very stylish, with free internet connection, our room was equipped with a Jacuzzi... >_”
