8.6/10 Excellent! (369 reviews)

Great amenities although I didn’t use (ex. gym), laundry worked well, vibes in the lounge was a great chill area. Only thing was the room lacked space for luggage and the shower head was very weak

7/10 Good! (88 reviews)

It's a 2 mins walk frim Jonggak station ( Blue line 1). Around the hotel there are tons of eateries and convenience store, so no worry getting hungry. The Cheonggyecheon stream is just next to the hotel and Myeongdong is a 10 minute walk. And Insadong is a 5 minute walk. I'll definitely stay again when back in Seoul.
