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 flat-screen 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 that made the evenings enjoyable.
It wasn't exactly budget friendly but still decent.

The location near Myeongdong was fantastic! We loved having quick access to shops and cafes. The staff was really helpful, and the comfortable beds made our stay even better.
My kids wished the room was bigger for our family of four. It felt cramped at times.

Convenient Stay with Room for Improvement
Had a lovely time exploring the city. 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. Overall, a great base for sightseeing!

Located just a short walk from key attractions, this place is perfect for exploring. The staff provided exceptional service and were quick to assist with any needs. The cleanliness was remarkable, and I particularly appreciated the daily replenishment of tea supplies and water. However, 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 delightful selection, especially the toast.

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