The hotel staff at check in was very friendly. But it was nothing like the photos, the room I got was old and dirty. I smelled mould and there was dust and mould everywhere. I think the price was too high for that quality of a room. I ended up booking a different hotel.

-The stars are rated according to the price, for the cheap price it was a good deal.
-One of the staff didn't speak much English, the other one could speak English well. They were kindly flexible with my check-in time.
-There's a lot of restaurants, a big Lotte Mart grocery store and a Daiso (home items) nearby. Two metro stations nearby and buses. Clothes and other shopping you'd have to go towards central Seoul.
-The hotel room was clean, some moldiness in the bathroom that I have had in all cheap Korean apartments. Aircon and TV worked, and remote control for TV-aircon-lights had English instructions. I used my own Wifi but there was a mediocre connection in the room also. You could get into your room 24/7, overall a good stay!

The hotel is in an alley, looks bad outside but inside is clean, spacious room, free coffee, soft drink, near subway station. Nice staff, they even lent me 220-110 V adaptor.
There is no room service, you have bring garbage and towels out but these are not big deal.

The quality to price ratio was great. With a bus stop 2 minutes away and the subway just over 5 minutes, I made all my appointments early. There were coffee, tea and water available at all times in the lobby.
The smell from someone smoking did irritate me as my lungs don't tolerate cigarette smoke well. But that was only a periodical inconvenience.
