"Very easy checkin and checkout in the centre of a great location in Jongno - accessible to great public transport, restaurants and places to see and visit. I highly recommend this place for its location. Our room was a good size for 5 night stay. Unfortunately we were only given hand towels for most of our stay for showers and bath mats - which we could get more of if we needed to. We got bath towels for 2 of our 5 nights but didn’t know why we didn’t get these the whole stay"
