"The hotel’s location was extremely convenient, with two subway stations just a short walk away. Some rooms are equipped with a built-in washer and dryer, which is especially convenient for families who want to pack light. The full-sized refrigerator was another great feature and much more useful than a typical mini fridge, providing plenty of space and keeping everything properly chilled. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to families traveling to Korea."

"The single room I stayed in was compact, but much more spacious than other single rooms I've set tayed in. Had everything I needed, even a big desk to work from. Breakfast is Korean style, which might not suit some western tastes. Lobby is basic and small, if that matters to you, but has hot and chilled water and a microwave you can use. Overall a great location near public transport that will get you anywhere in the city. Will absolutely be checking this hotel for availability next time I'm in Seoul."
