“Generally it's very clean but I think for the price range I might can get a bigger room.”
To be honest the location is great, they have the 711 across the street, and we are literally in the center it's super easy to get to anywhere

“Excellence stay. Definitely will choose this stay on my next visit to Seoul.”
The property provided free breakfast and free use of washing machine and dryer, which are very convenient for travellers. And this services are very rare among overseas hotel. Staff are very friendly. The hotel was nearby to Eujiro station for around 2 mins walk, but quite a distance to Myeongdong station around 15mins walk.
