I booked during promotion before Korea relaxed the Covid restrictions. The room is much bigger than I expected and very comfortable to stay for 9 days. The bed is big for one person, nice and comfy. The room comes with hair dryer so you don't need to pack one. There is coin operated washer and dryer at the lobby if you wish to do laundry. If you are super light sleeper, the rooms are not super sound proof. I could hear the water flushing sound when others use the bathroom, people talking outside the doors can be heard. But it is not loud enough for me to figure out what they are saying. The sounds did not affect my sleep. The place is super clean. Breakfast is Korean style with toast. Korean breakfast offering change daily. Location is not suitable if you have problem with stairs. DDP station has a lot of stairs, and only 1 exit has working lift which is rather far. The new lift that is around the corner is not operational yet. Don't try to come to the hotel by train, Seoul subways have more stairs and difficult to find escalator/life. To get to the hotel, take the airport bus 6001 which is only 2 mins walk to the hotel. Ride is about 2 1/2 hour depending on traffic. Google has the location wrong, the bus stops on the same side of the hotel, do not cross the road. Lots of food choice around the corner and cross the street, where you see Starbucks. Shopping is near opposite DDP, 5-10mins walk. DDP station is super convenient, the stairs to the station is just in front of the hotel, but its a long flight of stairs. Place is super safe for solo female. Good choice for a super good price.

Good hotel but can not give them a 4. Reasons: Despite staying 6 nights and leaving on a Tuesday they did not allow a 2 hours late check out. They charge 11K won an hour and they stated the system would not allow changes. I understand and respect their policy. Reason2: Elevators alway crowded, only 2 elevators. Reason 3: Coffee undrinkable , but they offer a fair breakfast. Reason 4: Toiletries are " hidden" downstairs. No toothbrush or razor Pros Excellent location and subway at the door Excellent bed and towels Excellent towels and sleep quality Excellent water pressure and the have a safe in the room. Overall a good stay, I would give them a 3 1/2
