Mongchontoseong Fortress had an important defensive role over the years. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the spectacles its mighty walls have witnessed.

Mongchontoseong Fortress is an interesting place to begin your day of discovery in Songpa-gu. This history-filled fortress is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Save time for other sights like Seoul Olympic Stadium, Seonjeongneung Royal Tombs, and Jamsil Baseball Stadium to really enjoy what's on offer in the area.

Staff was super nice and friendly. We came with my son who is studying abroad for this semester and randomly picked this hotel a few months ago. Hotel location was literally near everything my family and I needed. The hotel is directly in front of the subway station which makes transportation so convenient. And restaurants are just all around the hotel. Breakfast was always fresh and delicious! Due to the heat in late summer, the plus side was that we were able to do laundry everyday. Definitely coming back here again in the near future.
