After a busy morning exploring the sights around town, Tapgol Park is the ideal spot to relax, rest your weary legs and enjoy some lunch.

Tapgol Park is a great place to begin your day of discovery in Jongno-gu. This recreation and green space comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow time for other attractions like Gyeongbokgung Palace, Dongdaemun History and Culture Park, and National Museum of Korea to make the most of what's on offer in the area.

16/10 Exceptional! (1,409 reviews)

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel overall. The property was clean, well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The location was extremely convenient, and the room itself was comfortable and spacious. The only real disappointments were the lack of air conditioning and the absence of a microwave in the room. The absence of air conditioning made the evenings a little uncomfortable, and a microwave would have been useful for quick reheating food. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel provided a great experience, and I would consider staying again - especially if these amenities are added in the future.
