The room is (as described) very small - about 8 ft x 8ft. Easy walk to and from the train station. It took me about 15 minutes to get from the hotel to the AREX station. To get across the bus station/street/square, go into the subway and follow signs for Namdaemun Police Station to Exit 9.

It was very close to Seoul Station & the location is perfect for a quick & simple rest stop for solo travellers. It had one great thing which other hotels did not provide - a heater for the mattress! The staff was welcoming & explained things very well. Would definitely consider coming back..

Good for the price and location. Good enough for 1 night transit. The direction given by the hotel is confusing. Please follow my direction to the hotel from Seoul Station: 1. Exit from exit #1 at Seoul Station. 2. Find the subway access. 3. You will need to go through escalator/stairs to get to subway access. 4. Once you are at the subway access, look for exit #10. You might need to turn to the left and then turn right. Please remember that you need to go toward RIGHT direction, NOT left. However, in order to go right, you need to turn around to left first. 5. Exit 10 is Police Station. The hotel is behind the Police Station. 6. Get ready for some stairs at the end of exit 10. No elevator available.

It’s a no frill lodging. The location is within walking distance from Seoul train station but you will need to figure out how to walk as the station is pretty complex to navigate. The hotel is just behind the namdaenum police station which won’t be too hard to spot.

A perfect place for a short stay if you travel by train or plan to spend most of the day outside. The hotel is very close to the Seoul station (KTX connections), there is an elevator and the staff members speak English. The room however is very small and there is no fridge - may become inconvenient in case of a longer stay.

Centrally located and steps away from Seoul Station from exit #10. Staff was generally nice. The room was clean and the heated blanket was very nice. It’s a basic room for the right price and great for people who are only looking for a place to sleep. The shower head is attached to a sink faucet; be mindful when showering as to not wet the toilet paper. The single room 501 was small but my luggage was only 21 inch and I was fine with it. It might bother other people. Remember, it’s a basic hotel. I could hear activities in the hallway like when other guests are entering their room. Luckily, my neighbors were quiet. Overall, the room was clean EXCEPT for the toilet seat. It had urine stains. I used the shower head with hot water to clean it. This hotel worked for me as a solo traveler. I would definitely stay again. If you are a picky traveler, this is not a place for you.

I was greeted by a polite man in the front of the hotel and he welcomed me into his office where I checked in. The man then escorted me to my room and informed me where I needed to remove my shoes before entering my room. The room was small but it was clean. I wish it had a small refrigerator. They didn`t have irons to iron my clothes so I had to purchase one from a store across the street. The day I checked out, I forgot my shoes under the TV furniture. I called them from another city where I was and they kindly held on to my shoes until I picked them up a few days later. I thought that was nice of them. Overall, the hotel was good for the price. I would stay here again knowing the things that aren`t available such as irons and refrigerators.

Near Seoul train station, but a bit tricky to get there. Take underground passages to CROSS the avenue in front of the station. Find your way behind the Police station facing the train station, and you will find the hotel. Budget hotel, tiny room, nice little TV, nice small bathroom. Clean and very, very friendly and helpful staff.

Small but was expected. It's literally right across the street from Seoul Station. Great for a solo traveler looking to find a good place to stay for a few nights. FYI, they don't want you to bring guests.

Tiny room but great location
The house manager was super friendly and helped carry my luggage in and out the guest house. Its location is quite safe as it's right behind the police office. House managers were sitting in their room till 12. Luckily there was a lift indoor that I didn't have to carry my stuffs with stairs. The single room is super tiny I got to say. There was no space at all after I unpacked my luggage. Not quite suitable for crazy shoppers. Despite of that, most useful items were provided. Hair dryer, cleansing products, mirror, towels, TV, free Wifi etc. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is within a walking distance from the main station. The staff members can speak English. The room was very small - once I put my bag in, it felt even smaller. There is free WiFi in each room and a toilet doubling as a shower chamber. This place is perfect if you want to stay overnight and board a train the day after.
