It's about a 15-minute walk from Myeongdong, so the location is excellent and the value for money is great. The front desk staff were multilingual, which was reassuring. I'd definitely stay here again.

I have stayed here each time I have come to Korea and I love the location and the transportation from and to the airport and the fact that I get dropped off right in front and picked up in the same area, the house keeping is awesome, it's quiet and there is a pharmacy and store right in the hotel, can't ask for much more

I stay here every time I go to Korea!! This property is in a really good area, close to the subway station and walkable to Myeong dong street market and pretty much walkable to many shopping centers and restaurants so convenience is a real plus, also they have a bus that picks you up and drops you off right in front of the hotel to and from the airport which is a HUGE plus especially if it's your first time going to Seoul, also staff is nice and helpful, and there is a pharmacy and convenient store on the first floor, basically has it all!!

There is NO a/c in the rooms. There were loud speakers outside the hotel that blasted daily around 6am that kept waking us up. The hotel staff did not provide much solutions, it was too hot to sleep with the windows closed and no a/c provided. Daily room cleaning was minimal. Our shower head was broken and they would not let us change rooms with all these issues.

広蔵市場まで、余裕で歩けます。金浦空港から 地下鉄で一本、仁川国際空港のバスもホテル前に止まり、便利です。 バスタブありで、水回りも問題ありません。ホテル周辺はあまり食堂はないので、市場に行くか、どこかでテイクアウトするのがおすすめです。 小さいですが、コンビニも併設されています。
