Not great
I regretted booking this hotel. The room had a moldy smell. It's probably because theres no windows and no ventilation. It was more like a basement. The only positive aspects are the location and the guy at the reception who is very friendly and helpful.

Low quality, unclean budget hotel
Location- amazing, Sinchon is a center of activities. With shopping, restaurants and nightlife for all. Hongdae is a short walk away and with the metro station, the whole city is within easy reach. Room- the official pictures to advertise the room are slightly misleading. The size of the room is accurate to show that it is a small room. However, the lack of cleanliness is can not be overstated. There was mold in the room and bathroom which they tried to cover up with foam wall paper. The first room I was assigned smelled of smoke. And after requesting a different room, it had a smell of mildew. Additionally, the walls are thin. So you can hear the other visitors on the same floor walking and talking. Lastly, this hotel can be rented by the hour and used as a “Love hotel.” Staff- unwelcoming, and nonchalant. Understandingly, they were probably college kids, but there seemed not to know of customer service. Overall, This is a budget hotel. I would not recommend this to anyone. The cheaper and cleaner alternative would be to find a jimjilbang (a local spa house).

Dirty
Unfortunately this was the worst hotel I've stayed in many years. Budget should not mean dirty. Mold in bathroom shower, no hot water the day we left. Bed linen was ok but room felt like it is never cleaned. Couldn't wait to leave. Only positive is good location and reception was kind.

I still got a shock you could put it on your list!
your compony does not realized why I had to move the hotel at midnight in the havey raining with two big luggage after I spent over one hour after airport bus and $80 only for the taxi cap to find the hotel. The adress didn't work on the navigation or google map. The taxi driver called the hotel but the receptionist didn't know how to get there. The driver drove around the address over and over and he stopped the car twice to ask the people. It was behind developing construction building and there was no road to get in. When I finally got there it was unbelievable things in front me. There are mold and rotten carpets over the stairs and mold smalls came out from the entrance door. After she showed me the room which had no light bathroom I asked refund. She put me on the phone and the owner agreeed to full refund I sent Expedia three room pictures right away and left for another hotel near by. Do you need more to explain to ask full refund including your service charge? I am still in Seoul. I am going to work with Expedia.

Our Worst Hotel Stay
We checked in and out in an hour. We were unable to stay in these conditions. The room is covered in mold, all over. The smell was overwhelming and dominated the room. Our lungs couldn't take it. The towels provided were stained all over. Also there were bug traps visible in the halls and rooms. Overall not worth it, even for the budget cost.

Disgustingly Gross! Don't Stay Here!
My wife and I have traveled nonstop for 3-years. We've stayed in hostels, tents, guesthouses, the works. We've lived in dirt villages and 3rd world countries. That said, this was by far the most disgusting place we have ever stayed. The bathroom was so rusted and awful that my wife held it until we got to the train station. SHE WAITED TO USE THE RESTROOM AT THE TRAIN STATION BECAUSE OUR HOTEL RESTROOM WAS SO DISGUSTING! And it was beyond cleaning disgusting. Like, it needed to be completely gutted. We had rented a very clean and modern apartment for our week long stay in Seoul and just needed an extra night before catching our flight, so I booked this hotel thinking it would be a great place to just sleep. These pictures are beyond deceiving. This place is a dump, located in a back alley. It was so gross that we decided not to sleep in the room. I've never been so disappointed and disgusted by a hotel room in my life. I'm only writing this scathing review because I wish someone before me had, so that I did not stay there. I meant to take photos, but I honestly couldn't bring myself to open that bathroom door again. I just wanted to get out of there.

This place should be called a hotel.
This room was really small, the walls had told, the bathroom also. It smelled horrible since the moment you get into the room. Was not worth the 45 Korean won I payed for one night. The room heating was abysmal. I still had about 20 minutes left before check out and a guy comes to my door as I'm getting ready to leave saying I have to check out right now.

Great Location
Stayed one night. The hotel is a three minutes walk from Sinchon Station. Sinchon Station is just one stop from Hongik University Station. Hongik University is one of the main college areas, so there are a lot of restaurants and bars. The hotel is pretty plain, but comfortable and clean. Also very affordable for a private room. Would definitely recommend.

You can find a better hotel for the price
I think that you can definitely find a better hotel to stay at if you're in Seoul for a vacation. We stayed one night at Ws Sinchon. I had a really hard time finding the hotel as it was quite inconspicuous, despite a huge sign noting its presence, and hidden in an alleyway. In the room, there were no shower slippers which deterred us from even using the shower, since it looked a little dirty. We were extremely thankful we had only booked the hotel for one night. That said, if you're looking to hang out in Sinchon - it is quite a lovely neighbourhood - you might want to consider this hotel, though keep in mind that it's difficult to find the actual building.

Bed ok. The rest...
Toilet build for very small persons, the toilet is the shower. Moldy, ugly joints. The only positive thing was the bed. It was very comfortable. Hotel Staff is sometimes willing, sometimes unwilling to help in case of questions to the surrounding area.

Big Cockroach
This hotel is actually OK...if you can get one of the rooms on the second floor. Alas, I stayed in the basement this time around and it wasn't a pleasant experience. The room was pretty dirty, and had a lot of bugs in it. Most of them were small nuisances, save for one really big cockroach that just kept coming back into the room. The hotel does have a lot of good points...the access to the station!...but make sure you avoid the basement if at all possible.
