Front desk staff were very helpful and kind. They know what questions will be asked and are equipped with explanatory documents with clear directions to get to the airport bus etc. it’s a great location for food, shopping, and glimpses into daily Seoul life. Very close to subway station. Breakfast is simple but all you need. Espresso machine at breakfast was a huge bonus.

The included breakfast was very simple and boring, served in the basement with no windows. The room was big with a big bathroom and shower. Water bottles and towels are available all day long at the front desk. Staff is very helpful and friendly. House keeping needs to clean more, especially the floors.

The hotel location was perfect and the hotel was ok, but they were lacking doors on the batroom and the wall was just a glass, therefore there is no privacy, wouldn’t recommend to families or friends, or colleagues…

The breakfast needs serious work. Boiled egg, cut up oranges and tomato with toast, cereal and mushroom soup with mini sausages. The place was clean, but needs some cut up potatos cooked and seasoned with scrambled eggs added to it. Have some butter, jelly and cream cheese out for the toast!

Breakfast was very basic but only paying for 3.5 star hotel. Very clean. Room was reasonable size. Have a large bathtub as well as separate shower was a bonus. Not having a wardrobe was only minus (just hooks for hanging).fThis was a room configuration thing as friends room did).Excellent location
