"This was a lovely property, the staff and service were excellent, the room was very comfortable! I would definitely come back and I would definitely recommend! "
"It was a good stay, just that you barely got to see the staff and there was no room cleaning option. We stayed for two weeks which was still doable, but I guess just weird."
"Night shift guy is so kind,but daytime sift guy is terrible.
I didn’t trust daytime receptionist anymore. He didn’t work as a receptionist.
I asked to call a taxi at 9 when it was at 8. And i went down to the reception at 8:45. He said that it was impossible to call a taxi now."
"We had a good stay. The free parking was a nice perk for the price. The room we were assigned initially had a leaky air conditioner but they promptly helped us move rooms. The bed was comfortable and clean. The bathtub was clean and unexpectedly large. Compared to other hotels at the price point in Seoul the room was clean."
"This hotel was lovely. The cafe was very nice good food and drinks and great ambiance. The owner and staff were very nice. I would definitely stay here again this was my first time visiting "

"This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. If you’re staying in Seoul this is an absolute must, I will be committing to this hotel for any future stay.
Pros
Friendly and helpful staff
Central location near important subway lines
Tax free convenience store inside hotel
Superb cleanliness
Affordable rooms
Cons
The only con is that the rooms aren’t full kitted out with everyone you need right from day one. You will need to ask for pots and pans etc but this is completely understandable and hardly an issue"
