MJ HOTEL JONGNO

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and staff, wish the breakfast was a bit more. But the room was great! Great value for the price"

Urbanstay Boutique Ikseon

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, good location. My only feedback is better English instructions for the luggage storage room. We ended up contacting the virtual help desk who sorted us out in 5 minutes. We apparently needed to place our palms on the door code before entering the numbers. The other thing was a very bright exit sign in the room that we wish we could have covered as we prefer to sleep in total darkness, but otherwise a great stay. Very convenient!"
