Good value hotel, in a convenient location in central Seoul. Walkable to Myeongdong and City Hall. The airport limousine bus stop is a short walk away. The hotel staff was welcoming and friendly and we were checked in promptly. Our room on the 4th floor was sufficient in size, with a full bath tub and a Vovo toilet (Japanese style - excellent). The room was hot, even with air con, so we opened the windows, but that meant some noise from outside. Breakfast was excellent - lots of choice, including Korean and western, including a make your own ramen station. My only negative was that the cleaners were noisy outside the rooms, which impacted on our late morning sleep (jet lag after a long flight). Overall I was impressed for the price, and I would recommend this as a place to stay if visiting Seoul.

We stayed here for 3 nights and would certainly recommend this hotel. Rooms are on the small side but well-appointed.

We stayed here for 3 nights and would certainly recommend this hotel. Rooms are on the small side but well-appointed. Wall-mounted shampoo, conditioner, body wash in a large shower enclosure, and hand wash at the sink. A few other lotion-type products were available in packets. Our room had a small but very deep tub. Safe, kettle, tea, and coffee in the room as well. There is a currency exchange ATM in the lobby. Insert your passport, select the currency you wish to exchange, and receive Won in exchange. The conversion rate was fair better than the currency exchange at airport booths. The main floor restaurant has a good menu (we tried the pizza and enjoyed it). Western prices as expected but nice place to relax have a meal or a glass of wine. Note restaurant closes early i.e. 9 pm. Down one level is the breakfast buffet area. Good selection but the menu did not change daily. Live station with Sunnyside up eggs and pancakes. A self-serve noodle preparation station which was busy. If you turn left when exiting the hotel, you'll soon arrive at a 7-11 convenience store. Continue and turn right to walk down a major street with large department stores and the Westin hotel. If you turn right when you exit the hotel then right again you'll descend a narrow street with many Korean BBQ restaurants. There is also a bakery and a burger restaurant across the street. The hotel is very well situated. Staff at reception, in the restaurant, and at the buffet breakfast were all pleasant and accommodating. Pick up an area map and hotel card (English and Korean) at the reception.

Clean and tidy hotel within walking distance to main shopping area. Staff friendly and breakfast lovely. Rooms basic but spotless with smart toilets! Would stay again

I stayed at this hotel on my return from Japan on what was probably the coldest night of the year but the hotel staff was very friendly and gifted me some hand warmers when I arrived. The room was spacious and although they had confirmed by email that I would have a hinoki bath this was not the case. The breakfast buffet had a huge selection of items but the restaurant was a bit chilly although the heaters were blazing. The location is very convenient and only a very short drive by taxi to Seoul station. I would recommend this hotel if you want a spacious room for a fair rate.
