Pros

Rooftop bar offers panoramic views of Seoul

Complimentary lobby coffee service available

Entertainment options include billiards and table tennis

Wheelchair-accessible rooms feature roll-in showers

Cons

12 miles from both Gimpo and Incheon airports

No on-site restaurant beyond breakfast service

“Located steps from the Jongno-3 subway stop and within walking distance of major attractions like Gyeongbokgung Palace, this hotel is a solid base for exploring Seoul. I particularly like the rooftop bar, which offers unique city views. While some rooms facing the street can be noisy, the comfortable, tech-forward rooms and 24/7 Grab & Go Lounge provide modern conveniences that I think are valuable.”

Excellent Hotel Experience!

spacious roomstreaming appsluggage storageconvenient checkout

The room was spacious. The layout with the bed next to the window and the TV in front created a cozy feel. I appreciated the inclusion of necessary streaming apps, such as Netflix, on the TV. The standard checkout time of 12 PM was very convenient, and I found the luggage storage locker facility in the basement quite useful. I enjoyed that the window partially opened, allowing fresh air in.
