Location was perfect! Close to the market and metro stations (City Hall, Seoul Station, Euljiro, and Hoehyeon). From Incheon Airport, there is a bus that stops next to the hotel.
The staff was very helpful and nice. They always checked if everything was okay or if I needed anything. I stayed for 10 days, and this place was perfect—spacious and clean. I will definitely come back.Aleksey from Uzbekistan (10/10)
