The Perfect Haven in Seoul, Complete with Friendly Service and Spotless Rooms My stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful. Having lodged here last January and returned, it's clear this spot keeps drawing me back. The room was spotless, with particularly pristine bedding which ensured a super comfy night. Its quiet location made it the perfect spot to unwind. The beef soup and dumplings served at the North Korean restaurant right at the alley’s entrance were top-notch. Kit, the front desk officer from Hong Kong, was immensely friendly and fluent in English, making communication a breeze. With its reasonable prices and excellent service, I've firmly decided to stay here whenever I'm in Seoul. It feels like I've found my own little haven, much like something out of The Guardian's travel pages. Highly recommend!

From the first day, the roof was leaking and under the bed there was so much dusty. So the air of the room was contaminated with bad smell...totally the room was not suitable for the customer's staying. After moving to the other room, the cleanness was almost the same level but a little bit better. Make a long story short, please delete this hotel from your Hotels.com package. I could not visit Hotels.com if you continue to keep this hotel in your website. Thanks. If you need pictures, I will send it separately.

The staff is friendly and they speak good English. We were originally placed in the third floor but the stairs were icy and we almost slipped (no elevator). They accommodated us with a 2nd floor room, but the ceiling was leaking. The ceiling above the bed looked moldy.

The hotel did not seem to match what I saw on the website. It looked really modern and clean on the website. However, in person, it was more run-down. The outside common area was dirty and there were dead plants and old broken furniture piled up. There was mold in the shower. Besides that, the bed and toilet were clean. It is a little bit of a walk to the restaurants. There are many hotels in the area, so I will definitely find something cleaner for my next trip to Seoul.

I never got to stay they were unprofessional, could not check me in and told me to come back a day after my reservation to check in. I didn’t feel safe or secure about that. Hotels.com needs to accommodate people with such bad experiences. I will never use them ever again.

We stayed 3 nights. The second night, we went back to the place around 10:00 pm and we found no internet, no TV& no electricity on one side of the room. It said it was a hotel but more like a home stay. There were no attendance for the facility. We had a phone number for the owner but we did not call him to fix it. We thought it was too late to call. The next morning we talked to a concierge and we could change the room. The building does not have a sign of hotel and it locates in the narrow alley where only one car can pass. It was unbelievable they nameed it a "hotel".

Booked the suite which was at 3rd floor. There wasn't any lift so had to carry all the luggages up all the flight of stairs. Was told by the staff that did our check in that foreigners could have free breakfast, but the next day another staff was on duty and she said that to have breakfast we needed to pay. Lights were kind of dim.

My two friends and I stayed at iHouse ChinChin in Hongdae during our 6 day visit to Seoul. Our room was very spacious with a nice contemporary design. There was a double (or queen?) sized bed in the main living area with another identically sized mattress under the bed which you can slide out to use. The upper loft area was small but still very comfortable with two futons to sleep on. The staff were very nice and approachable. Location is about 15 minutes walk from Hongdae; this can be long for some travelers, but it was personally no issue for us. The water system could use some improvement; ie, the shower was unusable if someone turned on the kitchen sink. All in all we had a pleasant stay and would recommend it to anyone who visits Seoul.

The "single" beds we requested were floor pads and the bathroom was tiny. The wording in the Expedia page should specify that the "simple complementary breakfast" offered is only for guests staying on the second floor and not on the third floor. The plus side is that the staff was vere nice and the place is in a quiet neighborhood.

Our room was really simple, but it felt it your home. Had our privacy, but the staff was always there to help if you needed them. There's minimal house keeping so you pretty do it yourself, but can request for any needs through the staff. Rooms were clean and the floors had the ondeul system (heated floors). Overall a great experience, just wish it wasn't at the end of an alley.

We stayed in the family suite. Very large and spacious. Only downside was the bed. It was a big comforter blanket on top of a wood frame. I don't mind sleeping on a hard surface but I would have much preferred a traditional Korean matt as they are much thicker.

Our room is the Deluxe Family Suite on the 3rd floor. It's very pretty, exactly like the pictures. Although we hadn't had the chance to use the 2nd storey because it was too hot (the AC doesn't reach that area), overall, it was daebak! The only downside is the fact that there are no elevators and we have heavy luggage. But overall, it was a great experience and a great place to stay at. It's only a walk away or a bus ride away (if you're too tired to walk) from Hongik University Station. Hongdae area is a very youthful place, lots of singing and performing, lots of shops to buy from, and lots of cafes and restaurants.
