"The room was clean, and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful while bringing our luggage in from the staircase (as they have an elevator for luggage). We are very grateful for the staff. Overall, the area that we stayed in was quiet in the mornings, which was very nice for the both of us. It was walking distance (around 10-15 mins) from the shopping district in Myeongdong itself, so that was quite a bonus for us as well, along with the Myeongdong Cathedral. Lots of good places to eat too."
