I found that the traditional Korean breakfast, served in-room, creates a memorable start to the day, as it immerses you in the quiet morning atmosphere. While rooms are compact, the location and cultural experience are the real draws here, making it a worthwhile choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking an authentic stay.”
