The room was very small but clean. The staff were helpful. The sink in our bathroom was very slow to drain and tended to fill up. Good location near to lots of food and things to see!
The staff were very friendly. Mason quickly resolved room and was happy to help with any of our queries. Good location and everything had signs in English to navigate or provide helpful information around the hotel. Thank you for your generosity and kindness!

Friendly staff, convenient location. Good breakfast.
Unfortunately when I booked this hotel, I didn't know it was actually a Motel. Room is big, but no place to store clothes and/or luggage. Just like a motel, you can hear everything. But the location is great. Very very close to everything. Breakfast is very basic, what you'd expect for a motel facility.
Overall, the hotel was nice, though the room and especially the bathroom were quite small. The breakfast was good, and the location was superb, very close to tourist attractions, restaurants, and the airport limousine bus stop. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, which made the stay more enjoyable.
The staff were extremely helpful, and the property is centrally located near the subway station. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained, and the environment felt welcoming throughout our stay. We had an excellent stay at Simple Stay Hotel.
Great choices of breakfast. Room is clean. Good location in a bustling area yet nestled inside a quiet lane off the busy street. It is close to Ikseo-dong and Insadong, and not far away from Myeondong and the Palace. Subway and buses are close too. It is in Jongno 3 ga area. Very convenient. The only strange thing is that the shower area is not walled/partitioned off from the toilet. So the whole bathroom floor gets wet after the shower. Also the room is a bit small.
My reason for picking this hotel was its central location in Seoul as well as what another reviewer said about being able to store luggage for a few hours after checkout. I don't think the complimentary breakfast was listed in the amenities, but it should be!
Can't say we loved the whole bathroom being a shower room or the tiny sink with no counter space for toiletries, but what was there was clean.
Good location, friendly and helpful staff, a clean room, nice breakfast. Some noise from the street with open window, but not too much. The room was a bit small for a family of three, but for one/two people on a budget it is a very good option to stay.
Excellent location with cafes and restaurants about a minute away. Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Area does get lively at night but we could not hear any noise from our room. Breakfast was very tasty and fresh.
