Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Station

Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent
"Too many good things to say about Four Points at Seoul Station. The room was clean and spacious. The spacious bathroom was perfect as well. Checking in and out was a smooth and quick process. As good as those were, the restaurant is a definite must. For both dinner and breakfast, you won't be disappointed. Enjoyed one of the best prepared burgers I've ever had along with done of the local beer. The breakfast buffet had a wide assortment of items to meet your wants. The location is great, and is only a few minutes walk from the train station. We'll definitely stay again next time we are in Seoul. "
