ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent
"First of all, incredible service and the friendliest receptionist. The room was always clean as were the sheets, the bathroom and everything else. Great amenities, very spacious room. Let’s not forget about the location, wow. Right next to the metro, close proximity to markets and olive young. Would highly recommend staying here and would probably book here again!"
