the location is definitely a plus. it is close to metro entrance. i also found the room quite spacious. the breakfast had a good variety with korean and non-korean options.
i noticed some issues. the air conditioning control was centrally managed, so i could not adjust the temperature myself. there was mould in the shower. also, i found only one ice machine, and it was not working.

Great City Center Hotel Experience

subway linescomplimentary bottled watercity viewunfriendly staff
This location was ideal. It was near both subway lines and the Myeongdong shopping area. My corner room offered a great city view, and it included amenities such as free bottled water. I stored my luggage before check-in since my flight arrived early. The breakfast menu is delicious too!
The hotel staff at check in was less than friendly and cute. The service felt robotic, which contrasted with the rest of my experiences in South Korea.
