Pros:

I can't emphasise the location. It's right in the central of myeongdong main street with plenty of street food. I love how convenient it was. A few things to consider is you can't get uber at the entrance of the hotel, you have to go at the back of the hotel, on the main street. But that is ok because heaps of taxis are available there.

Cons:

The room size and bed size. They allowed us to book the room with my wife and I plus 2 kids under 3. Quite frankly it was too small for all of us and the two single beds were not sufficient for our family of course. I thought it would be king sized single beds but they weren't. Also we requested additional 2 towels (they only offered two) and they made a big deal how they don't usually offer additional towels. If you allow 4 people in a room, you need to be able to provide each person a towel for hygienic reasons?

I am very pleased that we chose the Hotel!
Pros:

The location is very convenient for City walk. The room is very clean, especially the bathroom. And the staff is super nice!

Cons:

It's just the air conditioning is above the bed, which I will have to turn off during sleep. However, it is excellent overall!
