  The location is perfect—close to restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores, plus it’s within walking distance to Ikseon-dong, Myeong-dong, and Gwanghwamun Palace! The bed was really comfortable, and the room was clean. The staff at reception were super helpful and even let us check in earlier than expected, which was amazing. Highly recommend!

  great breakfast but not enough staff to clear away plates and things.

• Lori from Germany (9/10)

  Fantastic central location. It was actually pretty quiet, despite being so central. The window could be cracked open (though it was so hot and humid, we mostly didn’t)
