The motel was a bit challenging to locate, especially since I mixed up the nearby universities. The staff was welcoming and the common area was a nice touch, offering free drinks. However, the room disappointed me due to its size and an awkward bathroom setup. While the location had some conveniences, the price felt too high for what I received.

Rooms

The room was quite small and didn't match the online photos. The bed took up most of the limited space, and the bathroom door was a glass panel that didn't close properly, making it uncomfortable.

The Fox hotel was a great find near Gwanak-gu, blending comfort and convenience. The staff provided excellent service, especially the manager who went out of his way to help. The amenities like the lounge with free snacks were a nice touch. However, the rooms felt a bit cramped and the decor varied significantly between them, which might not suit everyone's taste.

I had a mixed experience at this motel. While the location is decent with access to public transport and nearby eateries, the room was quite small and disappointing compared to what I was expecting from the photos. The service was friendly, and I appreciated the free drinks in the common area, but overall, I felt like I paid too much for what I received.

The motel is conveniently located near the subway, making it easy to explore the city. While I found the room to be small with limited storage, the staff were welcoming and the amenities were decent for the price. However, I was disappointed that the photos online didn’t match the actual room, and the area felt a bit seedy at times.

I had a great stay at The Fox. The staff went above and beyond to help us, providing a lot of conveniences like rides and local tips. However, the rooms were quite small, and the lack of closet space was a minor inconvenience. Overall, the place offers solid value for money in a decent area, but be prepared for compact accommodations.

The hotel is well-located near markets and public transport, making it convenient for exploring the area. While the rooms are small and lack storage options, they have adequate amenities for a short stay. The service was accommodating, but the atmosphere reflects its past as a love motel, which might not be for everyone. Overall, it offers good value for budget travelers looking just for a place to sleep.

This motel has a decent location, just a short walk from the subway and close to various markets and restaurants. While it's perfect for budget travelers looking for a quick place to sleep, the rooms are quite small and lack space for belongings. The service is commendable, yet the overall value for money feels a bit questionable given the room sizes and amenities offered.
