• Ashley from Japan (9/10)

  This hotel was perfect for my son and I during out 5 day stay in Seoul. It had a mini kitchen with items needed for cooking and settings for 2. There was even a washing machine, we travel lights so this is something I was happy about. The room was large and quiet.
  The staff at the front desk were very friendly and even called us a cab one morning as our ap was not working to request one.
