The location is right in front of the Jongno 3-ga Subway Station entrance, so it's great to come by public transportation, and the location is good enough that you can walk to all the nearby tourist attractions.


The atmosphere of the hotel Moxy is a hip and community-centered hotel brand, and it is a select-class hotel class, so it is a light-level hotel that provides only very basic services.

Graffiti Zone, a major photo zone

The atmosphere is young right from the entrance. Feeling covered in graffiti.

There is no one from the first floor. It may be because of the corona, but the lobby is located on the 16th floor, so if you just open it and come in, you have to go to the elevator.

There is a lounge like this on the 1st floor, but it is for guests only. You will not see a separate bellboy or concierge desk. It may be because it is a select, but it is also the style of this hotel. It's a bit like an unmanned motel; The door opens with the card key.

The atmosphere is very similar to WeWork Shared office.

This is a floor-by-floor guide. There are some facilities on the 2nd floor and basement.

Check-in is done at the 16th floor moxi bar.

This is the only place you can meet people. On the other floors, only the cleaning team and the ladies who happen to work happen to meet occasionally.

After check-in, you can simply drink a welcome drink. 2 glasses are provided, you can choose from 3 types.
After check in, it can be provided at any time upon request. It is provided only once, not several times, but if you stay for a few days, it seems to provide one or two more drinks.

It's a rooftop, so if you go outside for a while, there's an open space with such a great view.
I think it would be really cool at night.

It is divided into south and north directions, and from the north, Ikseon-dong area can be seen at a glance.


It was daytime when I went, so it was empty and empty. It was also a bit cold.

The bar also sells beer as a promotion. 3,000 won(3 USD) is not a bad price, right?

Let's go down to the room. The room I was given is on the 10th floor.
The atmosphere in the hallway... It's a bit factory, right?

When you open the door and walk in... This is how the entire room comes into view at a glance without a passageway.

 

There is a bed right to the left of the hotel door like this. So there is some noise from the hallway.

 

The view from the other side... Jeop. A folding chair is hung on the wall to utilize the space like this.

Floor-by-floor evacuation guide map. You can grasp the approximate structure of the room. The room size is almost the same and it is divided into a horizontally long room or a vertically long room. The horizontally long room is a room with a double bed.

However, since it is the end room, there are two windows, so it is not stuffy. It's a corner room. depending on...

All of the bath amenities are beneficial and large-capacity. You should not take it;
The bathroom has a sink in the front, with a shower on the left and a toilet on the right.

It was convenient because it was separated. Compared to Fairfield Yeongdeungpo, it is a really great facility.

Just look at the beverage amenities.

There are teas in tin cans...

At the bottom is a bathrobe and thin slippers.


The water is Evian! 2 free bottles are refilled every day, no extras. They say they get money.

It seemed like he was saying with great pride that he was giving Evian, so on the other hand, he laughed a little. Well, what a great water... It's lime-rich water;

The phone also has a slightly retro sensibility.

If you go down to the 2nd floor, there is a gym and lounge.

The gym on the 2nd floor is operated with a card key and can be used freely at any time. 

Here's a road bike. I think the overall atmosphere is a minor feeling of W Hotel.
The instruments don't matter. this is the end. Very Simple Gym.

And the special feature of Moxy is the lounge space on the second floor.

You can use this large space for free. There are also many board games, so you can come and play with your family or friends.

There are also vending machines.


There is also a free coffee machine. Coffee is all you need here. So no coffee provided in the room.

There's even a microwave! You can simply warm up your food and eat it. I think you could eat here before Covid-19, but recently, you can't eat food, but you can just drink.


You can bring it here in a take-out cup like this.

The interior has a retro feel, too. Wall decorated with LP (vinyl)
There are things I know, but there are many more I don't know;


If you go down to the 1st basement floor, there is a coin laundry and coin lockers for travelers.



It can be useful for travelers to use after check-out or before check-in. It seems to operate like this because there is no doorman or bellboy.

I looked around like this.

The basic services shown in standard room rates of about 60,000 to 70,000 won seem to be operating well.
There are a few deficiencies to come as a staycation, but the target here seemed clear.

It is a perfect place for travelers who are traveling for sightseeing at a low price for 2 people. There are a few downsides, but first of all, the surroundings feel a bit dangerous. A homeless person fell asleep at the entrance, but no one stopped him, so it was inconvenient to go around.



And parking Lot is serious Hard to Parking. You can put about 6 on the ground, but it's not a reservation, it's just an empty seat, so it's almost impossible. In March, when I went, there were 6 cars because the mechanical parking machine didn't work, and now it is said that it has increased to about 13 cars, but this is also almost unlucky, so I recommend just going by public transportation.

There's a bed, but... 3 people here... It looks really difficult. I heard that there is a room with a Hollywood bed setting, but the bed is the same, so I don't think there will be a big difference.


And it's very ambiguous to go with a child because the bed is a single size, so it's not easy to sleep with 3 people even if you attach a twin bed. There is a room with a double twin bed, but it is in the mid-100,000 won range, so there is no reason to sleep here if you go to the courtyard for that price.

Moxy's breakfast service pick-up service is provided on the 2nd floor. American breakfast with fresh baked bread and omelet or Korean dish that will fill your body and mind. Everyday 7:30 AM-10:00 AM


However, there are plenty of places to eat around, and the hip Ikseon-dong is right in front, so it's not too much to go around and eat, so it might be a good choice for those who just want a comfortable bed. In addition, Netflix is supported in the premium room, so those with an account can stay at the drama while staying in the room.
