Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic rooms, limited space — With only 12 rooms and a compact setup, the hotel offers little beyond the essentials. Travellers expecting more than a bed, TV, and kettle may find it sparse.
  • Inconsistent guest satisfaction — The overall rating is 5.7 out of 10 from 2,398 reviews, well below the Seoul area average of 8.2. While some guests are happy, others may have had less positive stays.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel isn't an option, as the policy explicitly disallows them.
  • Evening-only check-in window — Check-in is limited to 15:00-20:00, so late arrivals after 8 PM may need to arrange alternative plans.
