Reviews
Donna from United States (9/10)
We had a junior suite, which was HUGE. Loved the having the large spacious shower as well as a separate tub/shower. Bed was very comfortable. We only spent one night here, as it was conveniently located near the broadcast station where I needed to go. There are a few restaurants nearby, but we did not have a chance to try them. Starbucks around the corner was a plus. Overall this is a nice area, and I wish I had more time to explore the area.

For a business traveler, I liked the location as it was near my appointment (business meeting). It is also a quiet place and not crowded area.

Easy to find by public transport
Chia-ming from Taiwan (9/10)
The room is comfortable, the hotel staff is kind, the location is far away, you need to walk for a while to go to the subway station, there is a bus to the subway at the door, but it takes a while.
Yh from Malaysia (8/10)
Clean and spacious room.
Paloma from France (9/10)
Cosy really cleaning hotel and warm since temperatures start to get cold here in Korea.
Deeceezz from Australia (9/10)
I had to stay in this area as I was meeting a bus tour the following day. I was really pleasantly surprised by the neighbourhood, which is ultra modern but also near to an old style area with lots of great restaurants and bars. I would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Seoul. You get a far nicer room for your money and it's easy to get into the city on the very fast airport all stops line. The hotel room was comfortable and large and the staff were helpful and pleasant.
