늦은 시간에 체크인을 했음에도 불구하고 아기 침대, 가습기 등 요청사항을 모두 처리해주었습니다. 주변 환경은 출장으로는 좋지만 여행 상 방문하기에는 차량 이용이 필요합니다. 주말에는 결혼식으로 인해 주차장 진출입이 어려우니 주말 점심시간 전후로 숙소를 드나들 일이 있다면 피하는 것이 좋겠습니다.

Overall, couldn’t expect more for the price we paid. Location was very convenient to go eat and get around. The market close by was so fun to visit with many choices of new and traditional food choices.
The room was quiet and bathroom was spacious.

The surrounding area is full of good food options and within a short walk to the subway station (Sangmu). I think the location is great since it’s basically equidistant to the KTX, Bus Terminal, and Airport.
The breakfast is a buffet style and has excellent variety. The menu changes every day, so there’s always something new to try.

Enjoyable stay. Room was clean, and the staff were courteous. Where I needed help (getting a cab, directions), the staff went above and beyond to help. I spoke very little Korean, and they worked to help me in English. I needed to make changes to my reservation to add guests, and they were quick to accommodate my needs.
Room was cleaned daily, and they stocked my fridge with waters for each day. My stay was a long one for my travels, and they made sure it was home for me for the duration.

Great stay! Staff were fantastic, friendly and patient with our lack of spoken Korean. Two bed room was good size for traditional hotel in Korea. Clean, nice housekeeping, and hearty breakfast. Close walk to one 5.18 location, shopping, restaurant and Starbucks. We would stay here again. For the price per night, this was a great booking for family of four for four nights. Highly recommend.
