It's a slightly down-market area, a 15 minute walk to the main tourist area, but we chose it as it was close to the bus station. The room itself was excellent - very generous size and with a huge round jacuzzi bath. It also had a steam cleaner and massive TV. It had tea and coffee making and a fridge. Very clean, we were delighted. They told us it's really a business hotel. Breakfast was ok, self service toast and very limited buffet.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was spacious and clean enough, bathroom smelled of disinfectant, and the shower was constantly dripping, which doesn't bother me. Bed was nice, close to the bus station is very convenient. The reception is open 24/7, all though I had to wake the guy up when I was leaving around 5 am, so don't be in a hurry if you're off to an early start (or the middle of the night). I was taking the first train to Seoul, which left at 0548 in the morning, but I wasn't sure that I had the correct information, so I had him look it up for me and confirm it, as well as calling me a cab since the train station is 20 minutes away. All of this went off without a hitch, so no complaints. As a solo traveller, spending most of the time outside, I only needed a place to crash, and this was perfect.

Friendly, clean, comfortable hotel

Fantastic hotel with friendly and attentive staff. We paid a little more (about £20 more overall) for the deluxe double room and it was well worth it. The bed was very comfy and the bath was huge! Free breakfast had something for everyone and was tasty. The hotel managers and front desk staff were so nice and welcoming. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Good breakfast provided

4th time staying here. Convenient location just 3 min from intercity express bus terminal n local bus terminal. 20-30 min walk to the main tourist spots-大陵苑etc. Most love the breakfast provided-sausages, egg, toast, salad, fruit n drinks. However, it seems the price has gone up quite a lot. Quite expensive this time.
