We really enjoyed our stay here. We’re a couple visiting Seoul for the first time and wanted something central and close to key sites like the palaces, without being right in the busiest areas like Hongdae. The location was excellent and honestly so well situated that we’d happily stay here again. The staff were great and very attentive throughout our stay, and the price felt reasonable for what we got. Overall, a great experience.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is absolutely perfect — Gyeongbokgung Palace is just a short walk away, and Ikseon-dong and Insadong are only a few minutes on foot. We were able to visit so many places easily without needing transportation. The room was very clean and always smelled fresh after housekeeping. The entire hotel felt well maintained, and the staff were consistently friendly and welcoming. Overall, a great stay and highly recommended for anyone visiting Seoul!
