The hotel has its own unique theme and offers very quiet rooms with excellent blackout drapes, though it can get a bit too warm. The location is perfect, just outside the bustling stretch of Itaewon, allowing easy access to attractions without the noise. The service is generally friendly and accommodating, with staff fluent in English, but there were instances of rudeness and laziness. The dining experience was basic and not worth the money, especially if you're not a fan of the limited options available. Despite some drawbacks, the overall experience was positive and value for money.

The hotel is conveniently located near Itaewon Station, offering easy access to the main attractions in Seoul. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, but suffer from a musty smell possibly due to the full coverage carpet. The service provided is friendly and helpful, although there were minor communication issues with some staff members. The dining experience could be improved, and it's recommended not to prepay for meals. Overall, a decent option in a good location with some room for improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was clean but a bit small. The service was friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. The location was bustling with shops, eateries, and attractions, which was convenient. However, the dining options were limited, and I found it a bit unaccommodating for special dietary needs.

The hotel is located in the vibrant neighborhood of Itaewon, making it a fantastic spot for all types of travelers to meet new people and enjoy the area. The rooms are modern and comfortable, although there was a slight issue with cigarette smoke in the 'nonsmoking' rooms. The friendly service and convenient location make up for any shortcomings.
