"Very easy checkin and checkout in the centre of a great location in Jongno - accessible to great public transport, restaurants and places to see and visit. I highly recommend this place for its location. Our room was a good size for 5 night stay. Unfortunately we were only given hand towels for most of our stay for showers and bath mats - which we could get more of if we needed to. We got bath towels for 2 of our 5 nights but didn’t know why we didn’t get these the whole stay"

"The is an entirely selve serve micro hotel. There is no staff. If you cannot figure out the check in system you are not getting a room. The room I got was smaller than the picture shown. It was literally the smallest room that could fit a bed. The was no floor left to open my suitecase. It was like living in one of those tile puzzles with 15 tiles in 16 spaces.
