“Location is the best.”
It is located about a 5-minute walk from Exit 7 of City Hall Station on Line 1, and the location was excellent. The room was spacious and clean, but the TV had difficulty turning on, and the toilet's washlet was broken and unusable, which was a downside. However, there was a coin laundry in the basement (only one machine, though), and the bathroom was very nice with a spacious bathtub, so it was great overall. I would like to stay again if I have the chance next time. The price was very affordable, exceeding *** yen due to an Agoda sale, even during Silver Week, which contributes to my high rating.

“Price location is excellent.”
After visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace and Deoksugung Palace, we had a meal near City Hall Station and chose a lodging where the staff were very kind, the prices were very affordable, and above all, the room was much larger than expected, the bathroom was very comfortable, and the bedding was very clean, making all the guests extremely satisfied. There are many places to eat nearby and many convenience stores, so I plan to return here next time I come to Myeongdong or the City Hall area.

“The location was the best!”
I used it for travel, and it was within walking distance from the subway station, with a bus stop nearby, so the access was very good. The room was clean and spacious, allowing me to relax comfortably! The water pressure of the shower, which is common in Korea, was also good, making my stay pleasant. 😄

“It was beautiful.”
It was within walking distance from the nearest station, and there was a bus stop nearby, making access very good. The room was spacious and clean! The shower had a curtain, and I didn't mind that the toilet was next door. However, the bathroom door had a frosted glass design that was quite visible, and it might have just been in my room, but for some reason, it didn't close completely. So there was a little concern about privacy, but that was the only thing I was bothered by! The staff at the front desk were also kind. Additionally, there was a Wowpass machine inside the hotel, which was super convenient!
