The hotel room was big enough for three of us and provided a good night's sleep despite being very hot during the day. The service was friendly and welcoming, although not particularly helpful. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation and a nearby convenience store. The dining experience was decent but lacked variety. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel location is convenient, being close to the subway station, but the room size was smaller than expected, with a slight moldy smell lingering. The staff were accommodating but not overly friendly, possibly due to a language barrier.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall, with friendly staff and a great location near Myeongdong. However, the room was a bit small for five people, making it challenging to move around with our luggage. The space could have been utilized better despite requesting room service to tidy up. Being close to sightseeing spots and transportation was a major convenience.

It was my second time staying at the hotel. The rooms were not as spacious as depicted in the photos but felt modern and had a nice view. However, there was inconsistency in providing new sets of towels, and cleanliness could have been better. The hotel's location between Chungmuro Station and Eulji-ro 4 ga Station is one of its best features, being convenient for tourists.
