  • Kwan from Canada (8/10)

    Public transportation is best

  • Griselda from Singapore (7/10)

    The location was good, easy walk to Myeongdong shopping area and many eateries around. Easy walk to a few metro lines. The room size was ok for our family of 4, comes with a washer in-room. Staff are able to converse in English.

  • Mama from Australia (9/10)

    We stayed for 4 nights in the Royal Twin which had a double bed and 2 single beds. It was perfect for 3 adults as we could use the extra bed for our suitcases. There was a full sized fridge with freezer. The room had many windows so was really light and airy. Towels were replaced daily. The 2 young front desk staff (one male and one female were really lovely except for the older guy who checked us in. He was so miserable. There are no free storage facilities for luggage. You have to use their lockers at the cost of KOW10,000 (about $10 Australian dollars per 4 hours). There is a washing machine in the room and you just need to buy some washing powder for KOW1,000 ($1 Aust dollar). There is a dryer in the basement that charges KOW5,000 per load ($5 Aust dollars). Location is brilliant with lots of shops and food markets. Coffee shops nearby.

  • Youngho from Japan (9/10)

    The rooms were nice and cozy and spacious.
    And the location is perfect.

  • Josefina from Canada (9/10)

    What I liked was the location of the place

  • Xinyi from Singapore (9/10)

    Very close to the airport limousine stop, many buses and close to namdaemun and fairly close myeongdong. Overall a convenient location.
    The rooms are clean and spacious for 1 person. My room had a styler which I was not expecting and that was great for straightening clothes crumpled from travel.
    Check in and check out were simple and fast. Staff were generally helpful and polite.
    Information on what could be expected in the room was accurate.

  • Intan from Australia (8/10)

    Great Location. Facilities met expectations and staff were welcoming and helpful. Housekeeping staff on our floor was really nice and friendly. Regular sized towels was great to have and so was the styler for your clothes.
