Perfect example of Korean hospitality: check-in and check-out were super fast and efficient, the room spacious and perfectly clean, bed and pillows were great quality. This place was ideal for a short stay in Seoul, its location is within a lively district with restaurants, cafes and many shops, well connected by subway but not noisy at night. I'd definitely stay here again!

This hotel was a great find! I really enjoyed staying here. The room is really big compared to other properties in Seoul. Very clean with daily housekeeping. The bathroom is beautiful, with separate shower and a very large bathtub. The king size bed (very rare in Seoul) was super comfortable. The area is amazing with lots of restaurants, convenience stores and shopping nearby. Only 5 min walk to two metro stations and 20 mins to Gangnam and 30 mins to Myeongdong. The only downside is it was mostly unstaffed when I was there. Self check-in/out, but I didn't mind this. For the price, I would definitely stay here again.
