      Good Hotel Good Staff”

      I stayed for 6 nites in Dec 2022. Location is near city hall subway and walking distance to myeongdong. There r eateries around. The hotel staff r v helpful. I spoken to Mr Koo and another bigger size staff. They were v helpful to my enquiries on transport, food and hotel facilities etc. It was a pleasant surprise that they offer free simple breakfast for all staying guest during that period. It is simple salad n toast bread but it was fresh and good enough. The hotel knows the helpful info required by guest and prepared in advance good info such as e operating hours for e cafe and convenience shop at e groundfloor, the laundry facilities, the timetable for e airport bus infront of the hotel etc. I made good use of the coin laundry which not many hotels would hv. The staff also helped me order fried chicken when I could not do so. The room is spacious, clean and there is air purifier. The city view from e room is v nice. I can see the mountain, gyeongbukgung palace (walking distance) and the blue house. The hotel lounge at 15th floor has a balcony and can have an outside sitting too. V nice view from there. It is easy to travel anywhere from that location. Really, a good hotel and with good staff at a good price. I will come back again.

      Convenient location, friendly staff & clean ”

      Hotel is walking distance to 3 stations and many convenient stores n a few fast food restaurants too are located around hotel with 1 just located at level 1. Airport bus stop is just outside the hotel. Just that weekends there are some protest demonstrations but it's very orderly and nothing to be worried about just that it will be alittle noisy.

      Great location and price”

      I chose this hotel because of the affordable price and convenient location to see the Seoul Lantern Festival in Cheonggyecheon. The room was nice and clean and great for sleeping. Unfortunately, because of COVID measures, many exits were blocked off so you could only enter and exit the hotel from the main entrance and the on-site restaurant was not operating. I would stay at the hotel again though.

      not the excact place for shopping. but was very near the political centre. Political events take place nearby. It's a good chance to see Capital people's life.

      Location: in the center of Myeongdong. Walking distance to myeongdong night market, gwanghamun square, gyeongbukgong palace and stream. City bus tours bus stop is just less than 100 meters from the hotel. Airport bus stop is also just outside the hotel. Few meters away from exit 4/5 of City Hall Line 1. N75 bus stop is also a few meters Way. Ideal hotel for commuters. Located within the business district/offices, quiet place in the evening. Staff- they will try to assist you the best they can. They allow storage of luggage. Cleanliness- good except for the old carpet Room Space- twin bedrooms are spacious enough for two people with luggages. Choose the room with city view. Breakfast-bread and coffee, salad, cereals, milk only. Usual buffet is still not available due to covid virus. Others- there's laundry room, cafe and GS25 in the hotel
