  • Charles from Australia (5/10)

    This was a friendly hotel and the most helpful was a young girl on her first day in the job – congratulations and I'm sure you will do well.

  • Oceanduh from United States (8/10)

    the rooms were very clean and comfortable. the housekeeping ladies were very friendly and cleaned our room very thoroughly every day. i loved that the room had individual AC controls, and multiple light options. the AC system was very strong as well, a must during the korean summer. the room is kind of tight, but is manageable.

    the staff at the front desk were very friendly as well, and it is staffed 24 hours. you can leave your bag if you check in too early or check out but have a later flight.

    the location is great! 10min walk to city hall station, a lot of eateries around (open till late as well), many convenience stores in the vicinity as well. there were 3 seperate convenience stores within a 10min walk. the hotel also has a little loading area so any taxi or rideshare you call can park and wait.

    in the basement, there is a large lounge area you can sit and chat or even eat a meal at. the lounge features restrooms and a printing station (although i wasn't able to get it to print)
