Ein Hotel, welches wir empfehlen können
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal und ein effizienter Check-in. Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr praktisch, wir haben vieles von dort aus zu Fuß unternommen. Das Frühstück ist ebenfalls gut, es gibt eine große Auswahl an asiatischen und westlichen Speisen.
Das Hotel ist zudem sehr sauber und gepflegt. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

Pros:

- emplacement idéal entre les rues commerçantes de Myongdong et City-hall : rue calme mais proche du métro et des bus, de la banque de Corée, des boutiques et palais, plusieurs convenient stores juste à coté.
- la première chambre attribuée n'avait pas de penderie juste un porte-manteau mais en insistant un peu et en mentionnant mon séjour de plusieurs jours, j'ai obtenu un chambre avec penderie.
- chambre petite mais très fonctionnelle.
- le personnel assurant l'entretien des chambres est très aimable

Cons:

le petit-déjeuner est abordable mais peu qualitatif
coté un peu usine de l'hôtel qui accueille de nombreux groupes de japonais, personnel à l'accueil assez effacé

Disappointing and not worth the money.
Pros:

The location was good, pretty central and also pretty close to the main shopping area in Myeongdong.

Cons:

The rooms was very disappointing. Very old, looked like it was falling apart. The lobby looks fine but it is pretty misleading. As soon as you enter the elevator, you start seeing the real state of the hotel: an odd scent everywhere, stained walls, cheap carpets. The bed sheets were not clean, the bathroom was dirty as well, the countertops were dirty. I had wanted to complain on the first day, but I figured it would be too much of a hassle, considering we had quite a journey ahead, since we were going to a lot of places in Korea and we were only staying for a week.

Great location and breakfast. Perfect if you don't need much space
Pros:

Location is really great. We loved the entrance hall and the breakfast. The reception was professional. There are WOW pass machines available in the hall. The bathroom and the toilet are perfect.

Cons:

The property is clean and as described, but the layout is slightly impractical. The bedroom is very tight and lacks adequate storage solutions for guests. In contrast, the bathroom is massive, equipped with both a tub and a shower. In terms of comfort, a larger bedroom and a smaller bathroom would provide a much better balance.

Good hotel with room to improve.
Pros:

Location is good. Seoul is a gigantic city and the hotel is located wisely.

Cons:

The bathroom. Filthy. A very tall bath (not recommended for seniors) and a very ugly not-working shower curtain.
