Every time I visit Korea, I stay here because of friendly staffs, easy transportation from ICN, carefully curated breakfast catering to home made vibe Korean and western cuisine, and convenient location to everywhere with public transportation.
Do yourself a favor and stay here. You won’t be sorry.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We’re a couple visiting Seoul for the first time and wanted something central and close to key sites like the palaces, without being right in the busiest areas like Hongdae. The location was excellent and honestly so well situated that we’d happily stay here again. The staff were great and very attentive throughout our stay, and the price felt reasonable for what we got. Overall, a great experience.

Room was ok but cold. Exterior temp was really low and the heating system had hard time to heat the room. Hotel position is good, not to far from lots of place to visit, shop or eat.

Everything was fantastic. Room was a bit tight but that’s expected at this price point with the central Seoul location. Breakfast buffet was a well appointed bargain. Staff was super helpful and attentive.
