Reviews
Barbora from Slovakia (9/10)
Everything was perfect,good location (bus stops around hotel), room was silent,comfortable beds and room service was great,we really enjoy our stay:)
Julia from Germany (9/10)
Everything. It was an amazing stay.
The room was spacious and always clean. It has a refrigerator, a kettle and tea, coffee and fresh water bottles were served every day.
The hotel has a very good equipped gym, and a laundry room with a microwave for everyone to use.
The bus 162 is just outside and needs like 20mins to the center. The metro jongno 5 is like a 13mins walk away and brings you to the station.
Next to the hotel are also 2 convenient stores and many korean restaurants are close by.

Kiichi from Japan (9/10)
The staff here was incredibly polite and provided top-notch hospitality. Some hotels just go through the motions without truly understanding this level of service, but not this one. The quality of service was outstanding, making it a truly excellent hotel.
