My stay at the hotel was a bit disappointing. The room I got was smaller than expected and on a lower floor. It had a strong cigarette smell despite being a non-smoking room. The floors were uneven, and the furniture seemed worn out. On the bright side, the staff was very helpful and accommodating, especially when I inquired about tours in the area. The location was convenient, with easy access to the subway and just a short walk to the bustling Mangdong shopping area. However, the dining options were limited, catering more towards American and European tastes. The hotel's facility was average with nothing particularly noteworthy.

The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Myeong-dong, just steps away from the bustling shopping streets and the metro station. The lack of individual temperature controls can make the rooms too warm, especially during winter months, but you can always turn off the heater. Overall, it offers great value for money for those looking to stay in a prime location in Meungdong with basic room amenities.

The hotel offers spacious rooms, larger than most in the area, but might need a refresh in terms of decoration. The convenience of having 2 Twin beds is great, although some rearranging may be necessary when packing. The service is friendly and helpful, aiming for a 5-star standard, but families might find it inconvenient to split into separate rooms. The location is strategic, close to Myeongdong center yet quiet, with easy access to transportation options. The dining options could improve in variety after 9 am. Overall, a decent value for the price paid.
