  For the price it was good

• Anna from Belgium (7/10)

  The place has what you need, no more no less. Do not expect attention to the finest detail but everything has been taken care of for you to have a nice stay. The neighborhood between the Palace, the Sanctuary and Jongno is perfect to move around the city. Even though there are a lot of restaurants at 2min walking distance, at night is quiet. Nice stay, I totally recommend.
