Çok memnun kaldık. Otelden keyif aldık. Kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum.
Pros:

Otelin konumu çok iyi. Tam Myeongdong'un merkezinde. Otelden çıkar çıkmaz çarşıdasın. Her yere ulaşım kolay. Kahvaltı da fazla çeşit yoktu.

Cons:

Kahvaltı daha iyi olabilirdi. Türk turistler çok geldiği için onları düşünerek daha fazla kahvaltı çeşidi olabilirdi.
