Reviews
Taisa from Poland (8/10)
The hotel its located in the heart of the city, beds are comfortable.
Kirti from India (9/10)
The guest house is located on a very prime location in the heart of the Myeongdong market. Everything is easily available the moment you step off the place. The best part is it's hardly 2-3 minutes walk to bus stop and metro station. Even airport limousine stops in front of the guest house. Daiso is just a few steps away. It's a clean and well maintained place.
