The hotel offered a comfortable stay with clean rooms and attentive staff. The location was convenient, close to local attractions and dining options. Amenities like free Wi-Fi and breakfast added value, though the gym was a bit small. Overall, a pleasant experience and good choice for both short and extended stays.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is located at a very convenient location which is helpful since Seoul is relatively widespread and a decent number of areas can be reached even via walking. For example, the Gyeongbokgung palace is within 12 minutes, Insadong Cultural street within 9 minutes, Ikseondong Hanok street within 21 minutes and even Bukchon Hanok village is within 22 minutes. The subway station is also within 7 minutes if not wanting to walk. The hotel is clean and staff is very helpful. The breakfast buffet was delicious and had a lot of options. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
