Not great
I regretted booking this hotel. The room had a moldy smell. It's probably because theres no windows and no ventilation. It was more like a basement. The only positive aspects are the location and the guy at the reception who is very friendly and helpful.

Low quality, unclean budget hotel
Location- amazing, Sinchon is a center of activities. With shopping, restaurants and nightlife for all. Hongdae is a short walk away and with the metro station, the whole city is within easy reach. Room- the official pictures to advertise the room are slightly misleading. The size of the room is accurate to show that it is a small room. However, the lack of cleanliness is can not be overstated. There was mold in the room and bathroom which they tried to cover up with foam wall paper. The first room I was assigned smelled of smoke. And after requesting a different room, it had a smell of mildew. Additionally, the walls are thin. So you can hear the other visitors on the same floor walking and talking. Lastly, this hotel can be rented by the hour and used as a “Love hotel.” Staff- unwelcoming, and nonchalant. Understandingly, they were probably college kids, but there seemed not to know of customer service. Overall, This is a budget hotel. I would not recommend this to anyone. The cheaper and cleaner alternative would be to find a jimjilbang (a local spa house).

Dirty
Unfortunately this was the worst hotel I've stayed in many years. Budget should not mean dirty. Mold in bathroom shower, no hot water the day we left. Bed linen was ok but room felt like it is never cleaned. Couldn't wait to leave. Only positive is good location and reception was kind.

I still got a shock you could put it on your list!
your compony does not realized why I had to move the hotel at midnight in the havey raining with two big luggage after I spent over one hour after airport bus and $80 only for the taxi cap to find the hotel. The adress didn't work on the navigation or google map. The taxi driver called the hotel but the receptionist didn't know how to get there. The driver drove around the address over and over and he stopped the car twice to ask the people. It was behind developing construction building and there was no road to get in. When I finally got there it was unbelievable things in front me. There are mold and rotten carpets over the stairs and mold smalls came out from the entrance door. After she showed me the room which had no light bathroom I asked refund. She put me on the phone and the owner agreeed to full refund I sent Expedia three room pictures right away and left for another hotel near by. Do you need more to explain to ask full refund including your service charge? I am still in Seoul. I am going to work with Expedia.

Our Worst Hotel Stay
We checked in and out in an hour. We were unable to stay in these conditions. The room is covered in mold, all over. The smell was overwhelming and dominated the room. Our lungs couldn't take it. The towels provided were stained all over. Also there were bug traps visible in the halls and rooms. Overall not worth it, even for the budget cost.
