익스테이 맨션 충무로 Extay Mansion Chungmuro

We loved this place. What a perfect little hidden gem. Easy auto check in and check out. Just off the main road. Quiet. Kitchen and laundry. Room is small but very clean with well stocked amenities. Many little touches that we truly appreciated. Good location. Would definitely stay again. Wish there were more places like this.
Definitely recommend ⭐

The location is great and the interior is beautiful.

However, there's no beauty shelf in the bathroom, and it was difficult to adjust the hot water temperature (boiler temperature).
I'd definitely visit again.

The Nepalese staff was so friendly.
Strategic location (🥘✈️🛍️🍻Ⓜ️)

very well located, just a 5-minute walk from Chungmuro Station and within walking distance of Euljiro 3 and Myeongdong. The alley where it is located feels a bit sketchy and the exterior is not very inviting, but signage makes it easy to find.
The booking message was only in Korean, which was inconvenient as I had to translate it myself. Check-in, however, is smooth and efficient. There is a self-service machine outside where you can select the language, enter your booking number or surname, and receive your room key. Everything inside is clearly organized, from room layouts to capsule assignments.
I stayed in room 101, which has around 7–8 capsules and shared facilities consisting of one toilet area with two stalls and two showers. The capsule looked clean and was comfortable, with one plug, a light, and a pillow slightly larger than a standard single pillow. However, the sheets were not ironed, which made me question whether they had been freshly changed.
Towels are provided but are very small (face-towel size), and there were not enough for all guests. I couldn’t find extra towels in the common area. Wi-Fi is good and clearly signposted throughout the property.
The common area is spacious and well designed, with a pleasant atmosphere. Facilities include a laundry machine, water dispenser, sinks, and fridges. The showers have good water pressure and come with shampoo and body wash, but no conditioner. A hairdryer and hair straightener are available.
One downside is the shoe storage area at the entrance, which is too small and ends up looking messy. Slippers are provided inside the room, but it would be more practical to have them available at the entrance when changing shoes.
Overall, for the price (around €16 per night for a capsule), this is very good value, especially considering the location. I would stay here again mainly for convenience and affordability.

When I made my booking at this place, there were only two reviews available since it was practically new. I was just hoping and praying that the pictures provided weren’t fake 😆 — and thank God they weren’t! The place is literally new and just as pretty as in the photos.

The host was really accommodating and always tried to cater to our requests. (We asked about an iron a few days before check-in — the host said there wasn’t one yet, but he immediately offered to provide a steam iron, which was such a plus point!)
The place were well equipped, almost every necessity & amenity provided! Communication was smooth throughout, and the host always responded quickly whenever I had any inquiries.

The room was just the right size for four people — not too big, not too small, just nice. The bathroom and bed were clean, and the décor was amazing. We really had a great stay and a good night’s sleep here.

The location was also very convenient — about 9 minutes to DDP by bus, a 3–4 minute walk to the bus stop, and 5 minutes to the subway station. There are also a few coffee shops nearby.

I felt very welcomed here, unlike our other Airbnb experience in Seoul. So, thank you so much for the wonderful stay! 🌸

There were very few reviews, which initially made me a little worried when I booked. I booked through booking.com, and the hotel's customer service responded to all my needs, which was reassuring.

The hotel is conveniently located near two subway stations, Olive Young, and many restaurants.

The room was cozy and comfortable. The common area had facilities for cooking, getting water, and chilling food. There was a beautiful large table for meals, and the room also had a large table, which was great.

I didn't like the wooden floors, so walking upstairs was quite noticeable. Also, the window is close to a main road, so cars passing by created a vibration, which might be disturbing for sensitive people, but I slept very well.

The bathroom was rather small, about the right size for two people. If four people were staying, the room floor and luggage might feel a bit cramped.
