    The location of this hotel was fantastic, almost everything we wanted to visit was super close including bus stations, metro stations and convenience stores. The cleanliness was also excellent. We also received 2 bottles of water each day and checkin and checkout went very smoothly.

  • Chris from Australia (9/10)

    This is a highly recommended and value for money option in Seoul; it’s located in the heart of the one of the most interesting parts of Seoul and the room, whilst small (as you expect in this city) was very well set out to make the most of the space and the bed was really comfortable. The room was quiet too, so I slept very well here. The breakfasts were also good too.

  • Ilia from Greece (9/10)

    Was spotless clean and everyone was more than happy to help with anything.

  • Anne-mar from Hong Kong (9/10)

    Super good breakfast (Japanese food, fresh fruit, bread, cereals…)
    The staff is nice and friendly
    and a very nice Spa.
    Also, the hotel is close to 2 different MTR lines, and restaurants, shops, which is very convenient.
