Comfortabel hotel
Pros:

Prima hotel. Laatste dag late check out genomen (tot 16.00) vanwege onze avondvlucht. Je betaalt er wel iets voor, maar ontzettend fijn dat deze mogelijkheid er is (obv beschikbaarheid).
Zeer vriendelijk personeel, erg hulpvaardig. Zeer schone kamer. Kamers zijn slim ingedeeld.

Niet twijfelen, gewoon doen!
Pros:

De locatie is echt top! Tegenover Ikseon Hanok Village waar je veel winkels en restaurants hebt. Tegenover en naast het hotel een 7/11 en GS25. In de buurt ook een Paris Baguette voor het ontbijt. Personeel erg vriendelijk. Kamer is ruim.

Cons:

Temperatuur in de kamer, het was echt warm. Wij hebben het raam open gezet voor frisse/koude lucht.
