“This hotel's Myeongdong location puts guests in the heart of Seoul, steps away from both cultural sites and shopping destinations. While some rooms show their age, they do include kitchenware and the convenience of in-room laundry services. The friendly staff truly shines, making this a practical choice for visitors prioritizing location and service over modern aesthetics.”
