Great place to stay at a reasonable price in this area of Seoul. The breakfast that was included was excellent, offering both western and Korean inspired options. Staff and cleaners were very considerate and left extra towels and water outside of our room while we were out. I would consider staying here again in the future.

Nice place to stay, clean, friendly, safe, quiet, comfortable room, decent breakfast except that the breakfast place seemed understaffed such that refills of food were slow, fruit juice is low quality and fruits were either bananas or orange only…but overall very good value hotel.

Overall worth staying as they have basic necessities; breakfast was very ideal and delicious. Wish the hotel had better gym equipment, other than treadmills; nobody uses incline bike machine, found it to be waste of space. Friendly staff !
