Reviews
Pisano from Italy (9/10)
High standard for affordable price
Tom from United States (9/10)
Twin deluxe room was large with two comfortable beds and pillows. Liked the larger room with a comfortable sitting chair and table. Very clean and as a smaller hotel, elevator wait was short. Reasonable walk to subway and many food options and some of the main sights. Also liked free laundry in basement. As an every other year traveler all over South Korea – found this was a very nice overall value and would stay here again.

We liked the simple and practical design of the rooms, and spacious and clean bathrooms, and the bright cafeteria downstairs. The also enjoyed the German instant coffee and tee in our rooms and the free espresso maker downstairs. The location was excellent.
