I stayed at this hotel during a particularly cold time of year, and the rooms were well heated with individual thermostats, which was great. However, staff members were not very helpful when I asked about some restaurant hours during the Lunar New Year. Overall, the location was superb with easy access to art areas and public transport links, but unfortunately, the hotel is not close to the airport bus station.

I was delighted with the location of the hotel as it offered easy access to famous Korean restaurants, the old palaces, and the hippest attractions of Ikseon-dong within a 10-minute walk. The room I stayed in was incredibly spacious, providing sweeping views over Seoul and equipped with a full-size kitchen. While the decor might have been a bit older, it was exceptionally clean and had plenty of space for comfort.

The hotel is situated in a convenient location close to tourist spots and with easy access to amenities. The rooms, while not as homely as expected, vary in layout but offer comfort. Service levels were a mixed bag with both helpful and less accommodating interactions. The dining experience was convenient but could use some improvement in selection. Overall, a decent option for a stay with some room for enhancement.

The hotel offers fantastic, spacious rooms with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, perfect for a group of five. The accommodations were so good that we wished we could have stayed longer, feeling like a home away from home with a lovely bed and a well-equipped kitchen. The rooms are very nice and large, providing a comfortable stay. The service was fantastic, very prompt and courteous, although we only received an apology in words. The location is excellent, surrounded by convenience stores and interesting tourism areas. Dining could use improvement in terms of variety, but overall good value for the price.
