"Really enjoyed staying here and ended up extending for another night. For the price, this place is such a good deal. Free ramen, free coffee, free water, and everything feels super clean and new. Honestly hard to beat at this price point in Seoul. Check-in isn’t the most straightforward if you’re a foreigner, but there’s a help button and someone is always there to assist, so it wasn’t a big problem at all. Rooms are a bit small (pretty typical for Seoul), but totally fine for our stay....
