Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall okay. The room, while spacious compared to other hotels in this price range, had an old smoky smell that was a bit off-putting. The hotel could benefit from some renovations to improve the condition of the rooms. The location near Myeongdong was a highlight for shopping enthusiasts.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with great pillows, but the old smoke smell detracted from the experience. The service was nice and approachable, although resolving issues took longer than expected. The location is excellent, just minutes away from Namdaemun Market and Myeongdong shopping area. The dining experience during our stay was okay. Overall, the hotel provides decent value for the money.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, despite being clean and comfortable with great pillows, were smaller than expected and had dim lighting.

The location was strategic, near popular shopping areas and the subway, although it could get uncomfortably hot at times. The dining options were decent during my stay, but nothing exceptional. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
