Overall: The room was a bit dated. However, given the price, I didn't have high expectations. The toilet tank cover was plastic and didn't fit in place. The tub looked worn from years of use. The room was dated, but it was clean overall and functional. If you're looking for privacy and a good nights sleep, this is a good choice.
Location was excellent. It is one block away from the subway (orange line). Since the hotel was a block away, there wasn't much street noise in the room. For solo travelers who don't want to stay in a hostel, but aren't too fussy with the condition of the room (eg. dated bathroom), this is a great choice mainly because of the location.
Staff was very friendly. Check-in was easy. Overall, this is a great option for one or two people looking to spend most of the day touring Seoul and coming back to the room to sleep.
It was located close to gangnam and right at a subway stop. It was easy to find and the location for exploring the southern parts of Seoul was perfect!! It was also great for other parts as there is a subway!!!
I booked this room specifically because it had a tub, but unfortunately, it was very dirty so I didn't even get close to the tub. Not only that, the room was not clean. There was an old sock left under the table, and the room was very dim but yet I was able to clearly see the sock. Also, they make a big deal about the room being non-smoking, but the first thing I smelled when opening the door was cigarette smoke.
The toilet seat was very clearly loose and opening it to clean the toilet would have been an indicator, yet it remained loose on my second day. There was a burned out light making the dark room even darker. And last but not least, there was a long hair inside the packaging for one of the bathrobes. Ew....
I was disgusted but stayed only because booking another room where there is a language barrier would have been worse.

Good basic hotel (motel type), convenient location
Right at Nambu Bus Terminal and Nambu subway station, the location is excellent and easy to get to. Good for a stay on a limited budget.

Very noisy air-conditioning and can be a noisy neighborhood if you want to sleep with the window open. Very hard mattress was fine for me but probably surprising for most. I don't like my room towels turned over every day (cut down on my environmental impact) but it's not easy to keep the staff out :) it was fine though, they're lovely.
Excellent Airport bus service just up from the main door, subway station a 2-3min walk and booking at the last minute the hotel price was right.
Convenient location, near by public transport and the Seoul Arts Centre (where I was working during the week of my stay). The hotel is quite basic, but that is reflected in the price. There is free wifi and the staff are polite.

Hotel staffs were very friendly however the hotel condition was not good. It is a old hotel. For example the inside of the tub has many small cracks so I didn’t wanted to get in the tube.
My stay was decent . This hotel is between motel and hotel.

Hotel was OK for the price and location was convenient, but would not recommend unless you're trying to save some money. The cleaning lady frequently left the door unlocked after cleaning (never leave valuables in the room). Cigarette smoke seeped through from another room.
