ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent
"Great to have a 1 bedroom suite with the kids. The staff were accommodating for an extra hour for checkout. Laundry facilitates downstairs were very efficient. Elevators were working better than many other hotels we have stayed at. The pool and gym hours could be longer."
