Good Location, 5-10 mins walk away from 2 different lines, walking distance to Jamsil sports complex and a 15-30 mins away from Lotte world tower. Lots of food around with a local market nearby too.
It allows maybe check in maybe 15 minutes before the indicated check in time of 3pm only though.
Room is big and there is a bath tub with jacuzzi, however the bubbles are not working.
Good enough for a repeat stay in my opinion.

Great places to stay, just a bit noisy, but that is to be expected for the area. Just steps away from restaurants and the subway. Would definitely recommend this place.

Hotel is rundown ... you check in on your own with a machine. In 3 nights that we were there I only saw a staff member twice ...
Shower was leaking and making the bathroom floor very wet and slippery.. Housekeeping daily would clean it. There's no pool as we were fooled by the pictures... only a pool in suites.
Building and rooms needs some renovation ...

Old hotel, very outdated, smells like smoking was allowed in the past. However, the location is really good. Lots of restaurants and bars and close to 2 subway lines.
We stayed for 3 weeks and really enjoyed the location.

Staff is very nice but when I first got there I felt like I was walking in an uncomfortable corner. That being said it's close enough to JamsilJanae station for subway access.
Hotel is technically a motel by the way. In case you need services or delivery that requires a reputable hotel.
Still good for the cost and I had all my privacy. 7-eleven literally 1 building door away for emergency needs even at night

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a nice 2 night stay. Very easy to get around. Parked our car and we used subway to go different places. Lots of restaurants near the hotel.
Could have been cleaned better. Advertised as soundproof rooms but we could hear our neighbors late at night laughing.

Internet WiFi issue terrible in room 1103
Actually overall I was satisfied with the room size! It was cozy and clean. The environment is walkable location to metro. Noise level is low.
The only issue that I was made me horrible experience was the room 1103 internet . It’s connected and disconnected instantly continuously. It’s so annoying for the past few night and I have to use my own data.
The room service said because the internet is shared with whole floor and I checked internet speed is less than 1M even lower . But the whole floor only less than 10 rooms . It is unacceptable broadband speed, I hope this can improve in the future . Thanks
