the airport bus stop is VERY convenient and so are the subways. walking to Myeong-dong shopping street and night market was perfect because the location is so close.

the hotel doesn't offer to carry luggage to the rooms. this was a bit unromantic.

excellent location and clean rooms

excellent locationclean roomsbuilding convenience

the location was excellent, with convenient access to transportation options. the rooms were clean and well maintained. it was very convenient to have both a convenience store and a coffee shop available right in the building.

the pillows were a bit too soft for my preference, which slightly affected my sleep quality. perhaps firmer pillow options would be beneficial

Dining

there is a cafe on the ground floor, so it is very easy to grab a coffee. the area has numerous restaurants within walking distance offering a variety of cuisines. i noticed a halal restaurant on the same floor as the reception.
