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.

Friendly staff, moldy/leaky ceiling
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 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!

Lovely place to stay at! Close and very accommodating. Our flight was late but we messaged and tee got greeted after check-in time!
Heated floors are very nice.
The only thing I could complain about is that the light in the room is rubbish if you want to do your makeup! (But super cozy!)
숙소 내부를 리모델링 한 듯한데 현관문 들어가자마자 곰팡이 냄새가 진동을 하길래 보니 주방과 화장실에 곰팡이가 한가득 있네요. 제 생각에 집이 오래되어 단열이 안 좋아서 겨울철 결로 때문인것 같습니다. 이 부분은 개선이 필요합니다. 이런 곰팡이 가득한 곳에서 다시는 자고싶지 않아요.
Chambre calme et accueil très satisfaisant mais plusieurs point négatifs: traces profondes d’humidité au plafond, prise au dessus du lavabo qui pend et simplement maintenu par les fils, robinet lavabo rafistolé, de plus il fuit en permanence. Effectivement le tarif est assez bas mais ces défauts pourraient être aisément améliorés
