Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Rooms and service are good. The location is fantastic. One star less as the gym is extremely basic, and limited opening hours. Treadmills don't incline, no towels provided and the water cooler was never topped up during our 4 day stay. If you're looking for a place to workout during your stay, look elsewhere.”
“Amenities - 5/5 This hotel surrounded by cafe , local food reataurant and pubs. Everything u need is just within walking distance. Public transport - 5/5 The hotel also just front of bustop station and walking distance of MRT station. Overall the Hotel Room - 4.5/5 cleanliness are very good. Just small drawback the remote panel for the toilet seat (come with bidet and flushing are control all via control panel) is not working throughout our 5D4N stay.”
“I chose this hotel because of the location. It is close to the both the bicycle rental shop where I got my bicycle, and the Gongdeok Arex station where I brought my bicycle to the Cheongna Int’l City station to start the cross country cycling (bicycle allowed on Arex on weekends). A little bit old hotel. Expensive, probably because of the location. The front desk and concierge staff were a little cold in their attitude, and appear unwilling to help with storage of my bike. Breakfast is basic and don’t expect much.”
“this place is really good for a 4 star hotel. the staff were really nice and speak softly and also in english. the buffet is lowkey mid though but the rooms are so good for its value also it’s next to two metro stations highly recommend coming here if u are looking for a place to stay”
“Excellent hotel! I have stayed for two nights. To be well-cleaned and nice service due to I had some problem with the toilet in my room that I called the operator and he came immediately and fixed in midnight time, I was appreciated this thing. Moreover, the breakfast is quite nice that can choose a lot of food. Highly recommended!”
“I stayed here a few years ago but forgot to write a review until now. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location was fantastic—just steps away from a subway station with lots of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The room was spacious and comfortable, making it a great place to unwind after exploring the city.”
“Amazing place , well connected with all modes of transport metro, bus and even the airport shuttle. You have to pay for toiletries. Early check in charged by the hour. Breakfast closes fast. Not a very large spred. The pool is on the terrace but is closed most of the time ( no water )”
“Functional rooms, comfortable yet not spacious, amazing location, decent staff!”
