  Central location but space is tight

  We stayed in a triple in June 2025. The best thing about the hotel is undoubtedly its central location with subway stations and attractions such as Gyeongbokgung Palace nearby.The downside was the room. While clean and contemporary, it was tight for three and there was little storage (drawers, etc.). You do have a nice views of high-rises since you are on 9th floor and up. But more storage for the… Read moreWe stayed in a triple in June 2025.

  Perfect location and a pleasant stay.

The hotel is close to lots of shopping and food choices.The room was very clean and comfortable ( though small compared to… Read moreMy Millennial son and I stayed at this hotel during our 10 day visit to Seoul.

  Musty Sheets

  The breakfast is very good. Staff is nice. No room service. Dinner offerings are not good - warmed up frozen food. They clearly do not use bleach on their bed sheets so they smell musty.

  Got some pros and cons.

  Pros: location, easy access for major tourist attractions, abundant food options near byCons: room is too small and lack of amenities for family. No complimentary not even toothbrush in the room. I would think you would get better for the price you payPros: location, easy access for major tourist attractions, abundant food options near byCons: room is too small and lack of amenities for family.

  No aircon from 11pm

  Not recommend. Not value for money. 1. They turn off the aircon from 11pm and you wake up in the morning sweating! They will tell you this at check-in and you can request for a small electric fan.2. Bath towels smell so bad. I thought it was a bad batch and maybe tomorrow’s towel will smell better. Same, it smelled bad!3. Phone in the room is not working.4. Safe is not working.The only good thing… Read moreNot recommend. Not value for money. 1.
