Global Village Folklore Museum is an ideal place to start out your day in Jung-gu. This museum comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (64 reviews)

We had a twin room overlooking the main road on the 11th floor, despite that it wasn’t that noisy. The room was very small. Loved the bathroom, shower was amazing. Great location very easy access to restaurants, shopping and transport. Overall we’d enjoyed our stay.
