Would stay here again next time we visit Seoul
Best thing was exceptional service from the staff, all of whom went out of their way to greet us, help us whenever we asked, and represented the very best that Korean hospitality has to offer. All spoke english reasonably well. Rooms were very comfortable, breakfast buffet was excellent (but a bit crowded at times), and can’t say enough about convenient location just a short walk from Gyeongbok Palace, Insadong market, and Anguk subway station. Also Korean Exchange Bank right behind hotel for convenient money exchange. Cost for internet usage in business center seemed a little high, but wireless in the lobby area was great (we had an iTouch). Also great to have washer/drier all in one in our room. Finally, we visited the convenient store and Starbucks on the ground floor quite frequently. Would recommend highly to leisure and business travellers alike.
Traveler's tip on local attractions
Gyeongbok Palace, Insadong, large Buddhist Temple, Anguk subway station, several restaurants all within a 5-10 minute walk. 15 min away are many, many other shopping interests in the Jongno area.

Best hotel for a family
Our family (2 adults, 1 kid, 1 baby) stayed at this hotel for a week and their services were very good (the front office people were very helpful and speak English). The hotel location is very convenient, close to Insadong market and other places, 5 minutes walk to Anguk station (the limousine bus stops here from airport) and most of all, the hotel includes free breakfast. The room has complete kitchen set (microwave, stove, pots/pans, utensils, plates, fork, cups, etc) which a big plus, and separate living room with a TV, the bedroom also has a TV. Overall, we are happy that we chose this hotel - recommended for a family (they provide free baby crib and you can ask for an extra bed at additional cost if need to).
- There’s a convinient store on the first floor next to Starbuck where you can get almost everything (i.e sugar, salt, bread, milk, chips, ramen noodle, bottled water, hand lotion, etc), so if your family drink milk every day, you can just buy it there and store it in the refrigerator in the room. - The hotel is close to Insadong market, so if you ever need to buy some souvenir, you can easily walk to Insadong market - just 5 min walk
