The location is excellent, with numerous restaurants and cafes nearby. It's just a 5-minute walk to the subway station, making it easy to get around. Being less than 800 meters from Gwanghwamun is perfect for morning runs during my stay.

Good location, clean and quiet. Room is too small for the price and gym can be better equipped.

Overall the stay was pleasant. The location was great and the customer service was top notch. My husband requested a room with a good view cause it was my birthday trip and they gave us the view of the temple which was very nice and the best facing room. The rooms and toilet in general were a bit small and breakfast options were repetitive and limited. I wish they would change it or have more options.

The location is quite good. Can take airport express to Bus directly to Jongro 1-ga, then 3 mins walk to the hotel. And it is near to jonggak (line 1) station and gwahuamun station (line 5). Also, the public bus stations are near as well. The room itself is a typical 4 star. Nothing special.

I checked in late but the reception staff was well accommodating. The room temperature was warm enough against the sheer cold outside. The room was also clean and tidy. Highly recommended and might book again should my trip be situated near the hotel.
