    Ideal hotel, clean, with thoughtful staff who did an excellent job with our room and great service. Big bed, functional and stylish room. Location right by all the attractions, sightseeings and transportation and close to the metro station. Also, in an entirely different neighbourhood.

    Location: the hotel was right by the business district as well as the Bukchon Hanok Village. It was short walk from Jogyesa Kitchen Seungso, where you can have lunch. The rooms were neat, functional, ideal for us. The bed was super, and there was a spacious bathroom...

    The hotel offers a great location and friendly staff, but the air conditioning situation could use improvement, especially during warmer months. Rooms are compact but cozy, with comfortable beds, making for a decent stay despite some cleanliness issues in the bathrooms.

    Can't recommend highly enough for a cursory stop

    Cozy room, comfortable bed, with the location being perfectly convenient as it's just 20 km from the nearest airport, and you have amenities like a fitness center and a tv nearby to enjoy after a day of exploring.

    Can't fault anything about it.

    Couples looking for a calm retreat

    The room was very contemporary and comfortable, I really liked how cozy it felt at night! The neighborhood was fantastic, we found some delicious street food spots nearby, made the evenings enjoyable.

    It wasn't exactly budget friendly but still decent.

    comfortable beds
    small room

    The location near Myeongdong was fantastic! We loved having quick access to shops and cafes. The staff was really helpful, and the comfortable beds.

    My kids wished the room was bigger for our family of four. It felt cramped at times.

    great stay but a few minor hiccups

    The breakfast choice impressed me. The room's cleanliness was great.

    The laundry services could use more reasonable pricing.

    Convenient Stay with Room for Improvement

    The complimentary washer/dryer was a lifesaver for our family, but do watch out for the slippery bathtub. A local breakfast spot nearby offers a much better morning meal than what's available in-house. A great base for sightseeing!

    Located just a short walk from key attractions, this place is perfect for exploring. The staff provided really good service and were quick to assist with any needs. The cleanliness was amazing, and I particularly appreciated the daily replenishment of tea supplies and water. The gym facilities could be enhanced, as it felt limited, and there was a night when some amenities were not restocked. The breakfast offered a good selection, especially the toast.

    Try to explore the local coffee shops and restaurants nearby for better meal options than the hotel's breakfast.

    great location
    spacious room
    new facilities
    limited breakfast
    lack of variety

    The hotel overall was great, particularly due to its fantastic location near key attractions like palaces and temples. The room was spacious and comfortable, with everything looking new, which added to our pleasant stay. The breakfast could use some improvement, as there wasn't much variety, and it wasn't worth the price compared to local options.
