Pros:

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.

Cons:

It can get a bit crowded in the morning with many groups gathering in the lobby. The breakfast is ok but nothing special.

Bon rapport qualité-prix
Pros:

- Chambre spacieuse et propre.
- Très proche du palais de Changdeok (5min à pieds).
- Magasins et restaurants au pied de l’immeuble.
- Arrêt de bus « limousine » pour repartir à l’aéroport à côté

Cons:

- La chambre est très sombre.
- Nous avons fait d’autres hébergements sur Séoul beaucoup plus proche du métro : il faut compter 7-8 minutes à pieds mais c’est bien sûr faisable.
- Pour un premier séjour, il convient peut-être plutôt de loger dans le quartier de Myeong-dong.
