The hotel is super clean and new. The breakfast buffet is satisfying and meets our expectation. I travelled with my family and I like that they have a spacious bathroom with bidet toilet which is cool and easy to use. The staff is helpful as well.

Great location in Jongno-3ga. Airport Limo pick up & drop off within a few minutes walk. Between Jongno-3 and Euljiro-3 stations and 2 mins from Cheonggyecheon stream. The room was basic, but met my needs for a home base. The only shortcoming was a lack of storage space for clothing. There was a small wardrobe, but no dresser. For 1 person that was fine, but you'd struggle for 2 people. Quiet, clean with a great location. Met all my needs. Would stay again.

Good property. Clean and quiet. Unfortunately no soy milk for the breakfast and limited vegan options. Hotel is close to the subway and nightlife there's also an amazing bouldering gym less than 200 meters away. FYI hotel is behind Hotel VenuG and can be a little hard to find the first time .

Would happily stay again!

Actually it was quite clean. I just emailed them directly that I did see the gap between the mini ref shelf and the wall having been dusty and with a trash candy wrapper or something. But that's because I happened to see it. Overall, I would describe the room and the whole hotel as clean and neat. The smart display and tech toilet are cool. Your choice to have the room made up or not, and they really do it if you choose. I love how old school it is in that the room is very big, the amenities include a big vanity table with a kettle, mugs, mirror, hair dryer..big chair and 2 big ottoman stools. Bed was very comfortable. TV didn't work but I didn't care to ask for help because I don't need a tv. The airconditioning was perfect and the big windows looking out at buildings gave a nice view. Blackout curtains really good. I like how it is a small boutique hotel...location is quiet & safe, close to subway stations, bus stops, plus the airport limo bus stop! And walkable to tour sights & shops and everything. The staff is nice, simple, no-nonsense, straightforward. Helpful when you ask, and there's always someone at the reception counter. The laundry machines seemed brand new! I had to buy my own detergent from the convenience store outside but that's fine. It was fun doing laundry on the roof deck garden with the view of surrounding office buildings as the sun set over Seoul.I would choose Nafore again, and that says a lot considering how many other hotels there are around Seoul.
