Location is great
Shane from Australia (9/10)
convenient location, just a few subway stops from most attractions around Seoul, access from Gongdeok station exit 8 (subway line 5/6) or exit 9 (AREX line, only 1 stop from Seoul station). Lobby has luggage storage and an Emart24 convenience store. The street behind hotel has Emart supermarket as well as many restaurants and coffee shops. Hotel breakfast has a good selection, and if you pay for breakfast in advance you can get a 10% discount. (Although breakfast closes early at 0930 ! ).
