I stayed at this hotel in 2023 prior to the renovations and found that with the modifications the room appears to be more spacious. The hotel is located in a bustling neighbourhood surrounded by a multitude of restaurants and trendy cafes. The accommodation was clean and inviting with great service from the courteous staff. I would highly recommend this location for your next trip to Seoul.

Great location
Great location, western beds, very clean and fresh! Breakfast was a little simple but good value for what they charged. Location is so great for this hotel if you want to explore Seoul. Good price for the standard, location etc.
They have a self service laundry which we used as a family.
