"I stayed at this property two separate times. Both times were in the Superior Double rooms. Both stays the room was very clean and A/C worked very well. I found the price point to be appropriate considering the location and amenities. Staff was also very polite and professional. I found it was really close to shopping, great restaurants and can walk to the main tourist areas of Myeongdong such as the night market. Gwanghwamun Square is also relatively close. Catching the subway was relatively easy as there are different stops for the various lines. Overall, I truly enjoyed this hotel; and will definitely return on my next trip to Seoul."

The hotel itself was very clean, and most of all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. This goes from the front desk staff to the cleaners who were welcoming and always ready to help. One of my favourite things about the stay was the breakfast service. There was so much choice and all of it was delicious. Would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone and would stay there again when I visit Seoul again."
