The location was excellent. I stayed in this hotel 7 years ago, and since my stay it renovated the hotel. Also, I noticed that there were more interesting shops and restaurants all in the walking distance from hotel. The bathroom is classic cruise ship mold. In other words, just image tiny space, but it had everything and it works. I paid great price for the stay, and there were a lot of foreign tourists. I would stay in this place again for the excellent location it is at.

We'll stay here first next time to get a relaxing hot bath on arrival. Hotel and staff were great with managing luggage before check in and after check out. We'll definitely stay here next time.

I absolutely loved my stay here. The breakfast was delicious and Asian-style (warning for westerners though, there are a lot of more asian style savory options!)-- I honestly regretted not adding it to my package initially! The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was fantastic as it was adjacent to the palaces as well as the quaint Ikseondong hanbok-style cafes and shops. The room was regularly cleaned and was spacious (though not exceptionally spacious by American standards, I felt it was perfect for me). I would stay here again if I returned to Seoul!
