Excelent
Pros:

Hotelul este amplasat în centru, într-o zonă excelentă. În zona din împrejurimi se găsesc restaurante, cafenele, supermarket, stații de autobuz la 2 minute de mers pe jos, stații de metrou la 8 minute de mers pe jos. Camera mea a fost una dotată cu absolut tot ce este nevoie, priveliște minunată din cameră stând în pat. Personalul de la recepție deosebit de amabil și săritor să ajute și să îndrume. Curățenie impecabilă făcută zilnic. Wi-fi foarte bun și stabil. Cafea și apă gratuit la discreție.

Cons:

Nu există.

The location is convenient, with plenty of things nearby that you need.
Pros:

The hotel was good, with a nice location. There are a lot of shops, coffee shops, and restaurants nearby, and it’s an easy walk to public transport.
The receptionist was very lovely and friendly. The man helped me whenever I needed assistance.
The room was okay, but not spacious enough for two people, and there wasn’t enough space to put items. I did sleep well, though the bed was just okay. Overall, everything was good.
I would love to travel to Seoul again.

Cons:

Some areas need refurbishment and room improvements, such as painting or fixing certain things.

Pros:

Goede locatie, uitstekend uitzicht, een soort loft kamer, waarbij 2 bedden bovenin. Bovenin kun je niet echt staan en het is er warm. Er is wel airco, maar deze blaast op de bedden beneden. Verder wel een schone kamer en goed te doen met 5 personen. En gratis flessen water verkrijgbaar.

Cons:

Geen toilettafel.

Amazing experience, the staff are so kind
Pros:

It is close to myeongdong and other tourist location, near to a subway station too and bus stops

Cons:

I know that Korea don’t use bidet on their bathroom. Maybe that’s the only thing I didn’t like.

Pros:

The hotel is conveniently located near Chungmuro subway and sits right on the main street, making it easy to find—especially for first-time visitors to Korea. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, the staff were very helpful, even assisting us with booking a cab to the airport. It’s a great option for a comfortable stay
