Reviews

  • Angeline from Malaysia (9/10)

    Staff were super friendly. We arrived early so they helped store our luggage until check in time.
    They also arranged my airport transfer for a good price.

  • Wendell from Philippines (7/10)

    We were five people so we booked two rooms. One was an Executive Double Room and the other Two Bedroom Deluxe Suite. Both rooms were equipped with a kitchenette and some cooking utensils. The amenities provided are what are expected of a 3-star hotel (slippers, towels, linen, iron, etc.) Personal amenities are not provided.

    As for the location, it is located around a 5-10 minutes walk from Myeongdong which is quite convenient.

    The rooms that we stayed in are a bit old but well-maintained for cleanliness. Some of the toilet fixtures (towel racks) may need maintenance. The towels provided are clean but a bit frayed on the ends.
