“In my opinion, this hotel balances traditional charm with a prime location near Seoul's cultural landmarks and Myeongdong's shopping district. While the rooms show their age, they are well-maintained, and the on-site gym is a definite highlight. For those seeking a solid base to explore the city, this could be a worthwhile option.”

The location was SUPERB for transportation and restaurants. EVERYONE was helpful and hospitable, AMAZING!!! The hotel is located in a central area, I safety was good. The only minor issue was the shower curtain needed a wash, but it was insignificant.
