Great area, easy access to Jogno and Insadong; very helpful staff; and a spa that’s free to use and unwind every evening! And while typically compact the amenities and extras are great little touches - free morning yakult, free evening noodles. Will definitely stay there again next time in Seoul.

The basics were good. We got a single room with 3 beds. It was kind of small, but the AC and TV (including YouTube and Netflix) worked great and the room was clean. The spa was good too. Downstairs you can get free coffee and tea. The breakfast was fine, but I think the price was a little high for what you get.

Breakfast menu very good and fresh. We didn't pay for the breakfast at time of booking, need to pay extra for cad20.00 per person. It is worth to book room with breakfast. The location is very good,just walking distance for shopping and eating.

Perfect location, right near all the cute shops and cafes, palaces and night time activities. Coffee shops and convenience stores are right outside the door. Spa was small but adequate and clean with Dyson hairdryers!! Free ice creams and probiotic drinks next to the freezer laundry are a great addition.
