Hotel rooms are little small but very clean and cozy, kiosk check in and check out, I was arrived at hotel 15:00pm and checkin time was 16:00pm but the old lady on the reception she gave favor to me for early check in. The location of this hotel is near to subway station and many restaurants and bars around the area. In this price as a solo traveler I completely satisfied.
Airport bus 6013 runs in front of the hotel.Parking service is not provided.Paid parking service provided.
Take bus number 2233 from Janghanpyeong Station Exit 3 and get off at Sherville Apartment. The hotel is 1.2 km from Janghanpyeong Station, a 13-minute walk away.
Additional fees may apply for check-in before 1:00 PM. Thank you.

Let’s start with the cons:
1) The location is not the most convenient and there is really nothing around the hotel. The businesses around are very local and there are a few closed shopfronts along the Main Street. You have to take a bus for 5 stops to get to the subway.
2) It’s next to two rows of bars or lounges and on Friday night you can hear them if you are sensitive to sound, even at 2am. But the sound is very faint if you are not sensitive.
3) No amenities at all
Pros:
1) Flexible management. They let me check in even at 11am and I didn’t even have to ask.
2) Clean environment and well equipped room. The bed even had a heated mattress if you need and the toilet bowl has all sorts of features I couldn’t really figure out.
3) Hotel feels pretty new and the hardware feels new and clean.
4) Good pricing for the hardware and accommodating management.
Attention; Failure to read property's check-in guide prior to check-in may cause long delays or inability to check-in as normal.

It was a very nice place. I stayed from the 13th and received detailed information about the accommodation on the 10th. We communicated a lot on LINE, but I felt at ease because they replied immediately in Japanese.
The location was very convenient, and even though we had heavy luggage, we were able to get there easily by subway from AREX.
The room was clean and the facilities felt like our own room lol
They even lent us kitchen utensils, an iron, and an umbrella
I would like to use it again

It seems convenient because it's 30 seconds from Jongno 3-ga Station.
I'm completely satisfied with the newly built facility.
I'll definitely come here again next time!!
There's also free ramen on the second basement floor, which is nice.
It's newly built, so it's clean overall.

It was very accessible with elevator and check-in was relatively easy and fast. The room was very clean and had a nice fragrance. Size was as shown in the pictures, small for my big luggage though I still managed. The bed too is small and a little creaky. There was a slight draft that comes from the side but overall it wasn't cold.
I stayed here for two nights in April. Since I arrived early, the room was prepared early and I was able to enter the room before check-in, which was very helpful. I was able to communicate with the owner on LINE before the trip, so I was able to spend my time in Seoul without any worries after a long time! The location was great and it was convenient to go anywhere. The room was cute and clean, and all the amenities were available, and they even provided toothbrushes and snacks. The water pressure was not a problem, and I was able to flush the toilet paper! There was a problem with the air conditioner during the trip, but I contacted them on LINE and they responded immediately, even though it was late! I was able to spend two days at home and it was comfortable. I wasn't able to meet the owner this time, so I would like to meet him next time. I will be using his services again when I come to Seoul!

I was able to go shopping in the Dongdaemun area in the middle of the night and walk home, and subway lines 1 and 4 are also located here, so it was extremely convenient!
They kindly contacted me in advance about how to check in, and although I had trouble unlocking the door when I actually entered the room, the receptionist kindly explained it to me, which I am very grateful for.
The facilities were clean, and they also provided toothbrushes and shampoo, which was great.
The hotel had a really luxurious, pleasant scent that was very soothing.
I would like to use it again the next time I visit Korea!
Thank you very much😊

It's a brand-new place with no reviews, so I was a bit worried—but the price was great, so I went ahead and booked it.
It was really close to Myeongdong Station, so the location was super convenient. The place had everything I needed for a solo stay, so I felt really comfortable. What stood out the most was how friendly the front desk staff were—they were amazing. I also got to relax and spend some time on the terrace outside and the rooftop, which was a nice break during my time in Seoul. After check-out, I was able to use the shower room and powder room in the basement, and I was impressed by how thoughtfully the space was set up for guests. I’d honestly really recommend this place!

I really liked it! Close to the metro, shops and cafes nearby, there is somewhere to walk. It is quiet around, and clean inside. This is probably the most comfortable accommodation in all my travels, even despite the shared bathroom. I would like to come back again and live here longer. I was especially pleased with the communication with the owner. They sent me information in advance on which metro station to get off, through which exit number, sent a map of the walking route and all the access codes to the doors. Ideal interaction! I wish your home prosperity!

Welcomed at the reception, check-in and registration of car parking which did cost me an additional ₩ 60,000 for 3 days. Reception will park the car as only 2 places at the entrance available.
You can get as many water bottles you need. The room is literally cleaned and bedding made every day, with replacementof towels. You can request big shower towels at the reception.
We could see the Namsan Tower from our window. Lots of restaurants around and shopping possibilities.
Around the corner is a GS25 convenience store.
The only thing which was bad was, the minibar was really tiny and not cooling properly, but you can get ice-cold water at the reception fridge and there is also a coffee machine too and maps of Seoul.

GGuest UserI had a great stay at L3 Guest House! Big thank you to the owner for upgrading me from a single to double room for free. The room was very spacious for Seoul standards and also had a sofa and clothes rack (not pictured below). The room was fairly clean and whilst the breakfast was limited I found the free bottles of water very convenient. There was only one toilet on each floor (which included the Men’s shower) so you often had to wait or go upstairs to use the toilet. Overall, I had a wonderful stay.

JJunks.I stayed in this hotel during my one-week trip in Korea. First of all, this hotel is located in Jiangbei. Although it is far from the city center, there is a subway so it is very convenient to go anywhere. There are many delicious old restaurants and Lotte supermarkets near the mia district, especially the restaurants on the street outside this hotel are very affordable.
When I first arrived in Korea, I arrived in the early morning. I was afraid that it was past the check-in time, but my grandfather still greeted us warmly. When we arrived in the room, he helped us turn on the electric blanket. Although the room is not big, it has everything you need, including a refrigerator (there are two bottles of mineral water and corn silk tea in the refrigerator. If you finish drinking it every day, it will be replaced and free), shampoo, shower gel, hair mask and even body lotion. Grandpa and grandma are very nice. Although they don’t speak the language, they know that we are Chinese and will communicate with us through translation. A few days before leaving, I received a carp grilled from my grandma, which made me feel warm. I will stay here again next time I return to Korea! It feels warm in Korea.
HHope SanctuaryMy wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at U Stay Hotel during our visit to Korea, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt the warm hospitality that this charming hotel is known for.
The staff truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. They greeted us with friendly smiles and offered us refreshing welcome drinks while we checked in. Our room was beautifully decorated, clean, and had an incredible view of the city skyline that took our breath away—perfect for a cozy evening spent watching the sunset together.
The amenities at U Stay Hotel were delightful as well. We indulged in the complimentary breakfast each morning, which featured a lovely selection of both Korean and international dishes. My wife especially loved the freshly made kimchi pancakes! The dining area had a welcoming atmosphere, making it easy to relax and enjoy our meals.
The location couldn't have been better—tucked away in a quiet neighborhood yet still within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and cultural sights. It offered the perfect balance between exploring the vibrant nightlife of the city and having a peaceful retreat to come back to. We had fun getting lost in the local streets and discovering hidden gems only a short stroll from the hotel.
To top it all off, we appreciated the little touches: the hand-written note from the staff welcoming us to the hotel and the thoughtful arrangement of flowers in our room—truly a sign of their dedication to customer service.
Overall, our stay at U Stay Hotel was nothing short of amazing. It's a perfect choice for couples seeking a romantic getaway or anyone wanting to experience the heart of Korea in comfort and style. We left with our hearts full and memories we will cherish forever, and we can't wait to return! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

GGuest UserThe check-in process went smoothly, and the staff was not only helpful but also proficient in English. The location is excellent, especially for Muslim individuals, as there are halal restaurants within walking distance, such as Kampungku and Bakso, Korea BBQ. However, the only downside is the strong sewerage smell, even though the private toilet is separate from the bedroom. I stayed in a family room on the 4th floor. Unfortunately, the staff during check-out were extremely unpleasant and impolite. The check-out time is 11am, but you have the option to pay an extra KRW10,000 for a one-hour late check-out until 12 noon at the latest. I have decided to pay for the late check-out, but the staff informed me that we cannot use the luggage elevator as it only operates until 11am. However, the notice clearly states that the elevator operates from 8am to 10pm. After presenting the facts and arguing my point, the staff finally allowed us to use the elevator … i dont really understand why at the first place he keep saying its their rule that the lift can be used until 11am only and he added only 2 of them is working . It is important to note that this building does not have an elevator for people, only for luggage. Therefore, we have to climb the staircase to reach our room. The family room or quadruple room is located on level 4. Please educate your staff to learn more english to cater international guests . Thanks !!

JJust_tryingMinuses:
The room is much smaller than the one stated on the website.
Noisy air conditioner. In hot weather, you will not be able to sleep without earplugs.
There is an entrance area and you can leave bags there, but there is no place to put suitcases. It is impossible to keep them open to rearrange them.
The wardrobe is too small for two people. There is no way to store things.
The window goes against the wall.
The room is lived in, although cozy. There are problems with sockets, patches on wallpaper and doors.
Uncomfortable pillows. Inside is a protective plastic case. Because of this, it is very uncomfortable to sleep on.
Positive:
◦ Responsive staff. There was a request to provide a quiet room away from the smoking area - they did it.
They let us in much earlier and provided additional water.
The room is cleaned every day, changed towels. After cleaning, it smelled like disinfectant which means cleanliness.
◦ Towels and bed linen are intact, clean and pleasant.
A well-equipped set for guests: washcloth, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toothbrush, paste, disposable razor, ladyset, shower caps.
◦ Good washing and drying machines. They are paid, but they work well.
There is no window, but good artificial light.
Good water pressure and a spacious toilet.
There is a cool coffee shop and a convenience store nearby.
The area is beautiful with museums and old houses.
There are many beautiful restaurants nearby.
MMuhammad Shapiq Mohd SomPro :
- The people and the boss are really nice
-They provide laundry services (not free)
- Unlimited towel (but need to take it by yourself)
Cons :
- Laundry sessions is limited as they only allow us to do it between 3 p.m - 10 p.m. It is a bit tough for some of us that we we would like to do the laundry after or even before 3 p.m.
Suggestion : Prepare another washing maching and dryer only for guest (regardless free or need to pay).
This can ensure guest can use it without disturbing the staff who need to use it for cleaning the bed sheet and so on.
- There was a small leak happened everytime I turn on the aircond. Already highlighted to the staff and the boss.
Good thing : The boss really felt sorry for that and even offered free laundry service. He also explained that as the issue never happened before and it was higglighted on fri night, hence he could not find any technician to come on weekend to fix it. He really sorry on that and even suggested me to change to other room.
- Early check-in : This is not possible which cause some hiccup to travelelrs that arrive early. On the other hand, guest must check-out at 11 a.m ,if not need to pay additional fee per hour.
Suggestion : Allowing early-check in for those travellers that really earlier than expected. Staff that is working on that day can prioritize the guest room first to ensure the guest can start.do the check-in.
This will leave good impressiom to the guest as the guesthouse is very flexible and friendly to the customer.
- Water heater - Some times the water heater in the bathroom is not working. I forgot to highlight them but anyhow, I had to go through with the cold water during autumn season.

JJohnHigginsThe room they initially gave me was quite run down. However, the front desk staff were quite helpful when I asked to change rooms. The quality of the rooms really varies a lot. My friends room was quite nice with a great view, but my room was much smaller with a really poor view, even though we booked the same type of room. So your experience could really be quite varied at this hotel. The location is really good and is near the subway and bus. Lots of stores and restaurants around. Cleanliness really needs to be improved as the room was quite dusty.
