"Enjoyed the ability to use laundry and the clean rooms. I did the economy room which was quite small but I didn't mind it. Air conditioning is pretty nice. Staff were always available to help. I liked that the hotel is in a convenient location. It's not directly in a busy area either, it's tucked in an alley. The alley also has a good restaurant for soups near the hotel."

10/10 Excellent
"Easily one of the best hotels we’ve stayed in. The hotel was very luxurious. It was very clean, spacious and the staff was very helpful with all of our inquiries. Hotel location was right in the heart of myeongdong and right next to the train station making it very convenient. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again if we come back to Seoul."
