My perfect place... The plan was to stay one week and at the end were three, I can call it my home. So well location, a few minutes away from subway stations and touristic places as palaces, restaurants, beautiful coffee shops, clothes stores and more. Staff is enormously friendly, kind and willing to help you any time. Every time I went back from my day adventure in Seoul I enjoyed been received with an smile and a "How are you? How was your day?" Thank you Seowon! Thank you Jin! My room... loved it, enough space, so comfortable bed (very important to me), the necessary desk and bench to sit 👍🏻 (I had to work several days too), very good size of the bathroom, well illumination with a nice digital control of the lights and useful minibar, oh!!! And the floor keept me well cousy warm during this winter. Dinning room... clean and very useful, whith everything that is need to prepare and heat simple meals, it have too as amenities, coffe, te and cookies, were a good small dessert!. The interior design of the place is sober, minimal and at the same time modern, something I liked and enjoyed even with the little frame with a green leaf in my room, a good taste detail!. I could continue with more but it's already to long. Thanks for everything!!! I'll go back home soon.

Amazing capsule hotel - perfect location, thoughtful design, and warm hospitality! I absolutely loved my stay at this capsule hotel! Everything feels brand new, clean, and meticulously designed with attention to detail. The owners/staff are incredibly kind and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome-if you have any questions or need help, they'll gladly assist you. You can really feel the heart and care they put into this place! The location is unbeatable right in the heart of Seoul, just steps away from shopping streets, cafes, and public transport. You can reach all the major attractions within minutes! Highly recommend for solo travelers or anyone who wants a cozy, modern, and well-run place to stay.

    It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

    Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.

    This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
