Zeker boeken als je in Myeongdong wilt verblijven.
Pros:

Ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. De dame die ons incheckte, we hebben haar naam niet, hielp enorm bij het zoeken naar goede eetlocaties en andere activiteiten. Alle medewerkers waren erg aardig. En Jerry, bedankt voor je goede zorgen ;)
Verder super fijne locatie en schone, ruime kamers met goede bedden.

Cons:

Soms roken we een klein beetje een rioollucht. Dit was zeker niet storend en heeft ons verblijf niet minder aangenaam gemaakt.

Great location, exceptional staff, great stay
Pros:

Location was perfect, just 10-minute walk from the Myeongdong shopping center, so close enough but also not too noisy, so not impacted when time to sleep :)

Staff Dustin and Yuna were great; customer focused and made the start and end of the stay exceptional.

Room size was larger than expected with a double and a single bed, so plenty of space for what we needed and expected.

Cons:

Facilities were limited, and building was dated. However, had that expectations coming in

Recommend if you're looking to stay near the Myeongdong area!
Pros:

I left my luggage here for a few days when going to Busan and then came here and checked in with Nuri and she was the best! Super peppy and friendly, she even had a QR code guide of recommended things to check out in the area. Nuri is an absolute gem!

Staff aside, this hotel is in an incredible location! Super central, only a <15 min walk to the heart of Myeongdong. Lots of food options around here and the hotel itself has a great clean vibe, I liked the rooftop lounge area as well.

Cons:

The 2x twin room was pretty tight for 2 people, so we would've liked more storage options but the front 'hallway' area made it work!

很安靜、乾淨、舒適！
Pros:

服務態度非常好，臨走還送我們好多小餅乾

Cons:

離明洞稍微遠一點，但年輕人應該是可以走的，地鐵只有一站的距離，只是帶著我媽不方便走，搭uber也只是7000～6000韓元
