I stayed at this hotel in 2023 prior to the renovations and found that with the modifications the room appears to be more spacious. The hotel is located in a bustling neighbourhood surrounded by a multitude of restaurants and trendy cafes. The accommodation was clean and inviting with great service from the courteous staff. I would highly recommend this location for your next trip to Seoul.

Easy to find with our phone and walkable to everything we wanted to see. Location is probably the best part of this hotel with tons of dining and shopping right nearby. The room is pretty small and felt cluttered with our stuff but we made do. I would not buy the breakfast again. Bathroom very small no room for toiletries but everything worked. If I returned to Seoul for a short stay I would come back here because of its location.
