"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.

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!"

"Staff is very nice and helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the breakfast is great and location is convenient."

Hanok Hotel DAAM

8/10 Good

"Spotlessly clean and very conveniently located. My first time staying in a hotel like this. The bed was very comfortable and there is space under it for your suitcase which means climbing up into the bed—a little challenging after a long day of walking around. The cubby was very warm at night. The other guests were very considerate but inevitably there is some noise; I would suggest earplugs. All that being said: it was comfortable, safe, very clean, convenient and a good value. I would absolutely stay again."
