Great location and fantastic view on the rooftop. I recommend visiting Korean BBQ in the quarter nearby the hotel. The room was big enough, the bed was comfortable and the checkin/checkout was very fast.

“Good location and rooms, but several strange organizational choices lower the score”
We liked the size of the rooms with comfortable beds and a good shower. The hot bath in the basements was a real treat especially on colder and rainy days. The gym looked well equipped. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is outstanding, just on the edge of the hanouk district of Insadong with tons of interesting cafes, restaurants and shops.

“Great location, friendly helpful staff, nice clean room.”
The room was clean and within easy access of the lifts. The bathroom was also good. It was nice to have both coffee and proper English Breakfast tea in the room each day. The hotel was in an excellent location close to Culture street and right across the road from the Hanok village and network of fascinating alleyways, with great restaurants and interesting shops

“BEST location in the heart of Seoul- highly recommended.”
Location is absolutely superb. Close to shops and restaurants and quaint narrow alley Ikseon-dong Hanok Village. Subway station about 5 minute walk. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned daily. Wowpass machine in lobby to exchange euros and pounds to Korean Won cash. Our stay was amazing. So happy we chose your property.
