Good central location, but was not informed of the hotel name change and address -- causing major inconvenience of time in finding the place and cost of taxi transportation. Some hotel amenities were of poor quality. And, room was too small. On the positive, two ladies of the hotel front staff were good/helpful.

11 days stay -27 Nov to 8 Dec.
Front desk reception had a stun face, dont feel welcome on my first day, even on my check out day. The house keeping opened/shut the doors and it was very obvious that they were doing their job. Knew that on our days we wanted to sleep in late but 9am is the max you will be able to tolerate with all the banging and loud talking. Bed sheets were not changed thru out the 11 days we stayed. If you are opting long stay, they only provided you with their so call special treatment ie a banana and apple on first day. Only one small tube of shower gel, lotion, shampoo and conditioner were given each day miserably. Place is near Myeongdong eating street. Drinking/restaurants are nearby proximity. Can be quite noisy late night. We stayed on 7th floor. Room was quite dusty and we kept sneezing each time we make our bed. From Euljuki (1) subway, take exit 1.

Great location. Easy to get to metros and airport bus service. Close to many restaurants and walking distance to all local attractions and markets. Clean, comfortable and quiet. Many coffe houses close and opposite so dont need to worry about breakfast. Would highly recommend

Convenient, cozy and clean :) there are water dispensers on every floor which is really good and free flow of bottled water at the lobby (though it was always out of stock). The area is a comfortable walking distance to Euljiro 1-ga subway and myeongdong. The area is filled with supper places so no shortage of local joints for food (and 3 convenience stores) though the area outside the hotel may get a little noisy as there are drunk groups after dinner. We had a problem with our hot water pressure and it wasn't fixed for 2 nights (really annoying) and even though the technician was really nice and apologetic and tried his best to help us - was perplexed why they didn't bother fixing it in the day when we informed them. The hotel can also order take away Nene fried chicken for a small fee and that was a really nice touch! All in all, had a good stay.

The room was very clean and the room cleaning service was excellent. They restock us on amenity everyday. The bed was super comfy and the blanket was like sleeping on a cloud. The hotel smell great and the elevator was quick and smooth. The staffs also helped us call the taxi which was so helpful because the language barrier was a huge problem when trying to communicate to the taxi drivers. Hotel is not too far from the shopping district like a 5 min walk away. The only cons are that the pillows are too flat so I got neck pain in the morning and the lowest temp in the room was 25°. Regardless of what temp you set the control setting is ultimately up to the hotel. Overall We would come back again. Ohh and the coffee shops near the hotel is soo good

AFirst is truly a five star in terms of service and cleanliness. Location is tucked away in the less busy area of myeongdong but surrounding areas are very safe and lively at night. I was truly impressed by the eagerness of the staff to help out with our enquires and were always polite and friendly. There was an incident where I thought I had threw away my T-money card in the garbage after checking out. We ran back to the hotel hoping to catch house keeping before they clean our room but the lady had already combined all our garbage with the other rooms. The cleaning lady didn’t mind and helped me dig through the garbage together which I really appreciated and she even kept looking after I gave up. I truly appreciate Afirst service very much and I definitely will return again. Thank you so much!!

Very nice and clean hotel, good location
Overall a nice a clean hotel. Everything was great. Very new and modern feeling to the hotel. Clean and good service. I would be sure to ask for a quiet room because it seems that during busy times, it may get loud. But overall, everything was great. I would definitely stay again. It's also less than a five minute walk from a popular strain station

Location is fantastic in a quieter part of town, but still very accessible to the bustling Myeongdong, and close to multiple subway stations. Room is clean, with sufficient space for the three of us. Thumbs up to the front desk who helped with printing, booking cabs, providing umbrellas etc. A minor point to highlight is that the shuttle bus is no longer in service. Unfortunately the hotel website has not been updated of this yet. Overall, I would happily return to stay in this hotel the next time I am in town.

Good for the price
Really good price for the location. The first night however the temperature in my room was at 28 degrees, even though I had it set at 20. Had to go down to the lobby at 2 in the morning to let them know. It did seem better after that. That's my only main complaint. Everything else was fine. Even a half decent workout room, just need heavier weights.
