We really enjoyed our stay here. We’re a couple visiting Seoul for the first time and wanted something central and close to key sites like the palaces, without being right in the busiest areas like Hongdae. The location was excellent and honestly so well situated that we’d happily stay here again. The staff were great and very attentive throughout our stay, and the price felt reasonable for what we got. Overall, a great experience.
