Guest Ratings & Reviews
I found the hotel's location to be excellent, near Dongdaemun Market and just a short walk to the bustling area. The rooms were a bit small for my family of 4 and seemed a bit dusty, but it was manageable for our group of 5, including 2 adults and 3 children. The service was mostly good, except for one staff member on the day of check-in. The location is very convenient, with easy access to the subway and various places of interest. The dining experience was not impressive, and I had to take it outside to enjoy it fully. However, the authentic dishes were a nice touch.
The hotel is quite new, tidy, clean, and comfortable, with spacious rooms that were nice and big. Despite a restriction on early check-ins until 2 pm, the rooms ensure a quiet night's sleep. However, the hotel is quite vacant during the day.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfy, albeit a little small, and the location was just a 5-minute walk from the city center. The staff was super nice and could speak English well. The hotel was in good condition, clean, and with a comfortable bed. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking, and the breakfast routine didn't suit me. Overall, a decent value for money.
