Analysis

Key Strengths

Multi-station proximity: Located within walking distance of Jongno 3-ga Station and Anguk Station, as well as Changdeokgung Palace, making it easy to travel to major tourist attractions in Gangbuk

Practical self-service amenities system: Convenient to take clean towels and tissues from the hallway or counter whenever needed

Optimized for content viewing: Equipped with a TV that supports Netflix, useful for relaxing in the room after outdoor activities

Strong bathroom water pressure: Although the space is compact, the water pressure is very strong, helping to relieve fatigue for travelers who walk a lot

Points to Note

Extremely compact room size: The interior space is so limited that a large suitcase, when opened, leaves almost no walking path

Low visibility in an alley: Located deep in an alley, not on the main road, making it very difficult to find the entrance on the first visit without a map app

Parking and check-in limitations: The daily parking fee is 30,000 KRW, which is expensive compared to the accommodation cost, and check-in is relatively late at 4 PM

Recommended For

Budget Guests who frequently use amenities: Practical travelers who want to freely exchange towels and bottled water without the hassle of constant requests Itineraries focused on Changdeokgung Palace and Bukchon: Tourists who want convenient access to historical sites in Gangbuk, such as ancient palaces and Hanok villages
