Overall we had a great time. Great location, close to everything. The rooms were fairly clean. The only complaint was the stained floors. We liked that it was near everything but also along the outskirt of Myeongdong strip, still easy access for taxi’s. The staff were overall very helpful and friendly. As it was still in the Myeongdong strip, it was not noisy at all from the rooms. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!
