Great stay!

Very nice hotel staff, welcoming. Room was very clean and spacious. I was provided extra towels and water. Very nice to have microwave, hot water, and cold water dispensers though a bit of a hassle to have to leave the room to get it.

It is right next to the subway 5 line and on that line it’s easy to connect to all the other lines in the subway system. The Seoul Botanic Garden is an easy walk from the hotel. Plenty of places to eat at because it’s next to a large LG business park.

I was able to spend a very comfortable time there, and there were restaurants nearby where I could eat alone, so I had a good stay, albeit for a short time. thank you very much.

8/10 Very good

Decent stay with some extras

PROS: good size room and bed, fairly comfortable bed (might be considered firm by some). Large window to provide good natural light. Close walk to public transportation. Has small kitchen and washer/dryer. Tea kettle with tea and instant coffee. Good sized bathroom. CONS: lamps wouldn’t turn off, so had to unplug them. No laundry soap with washer, so need to bring your own. Also, instructions only in Korean. Instant coffee was horrible. Bathroom door didn't close all the wall. 8.5/10

Air conditioning wasn’t working or not turned on and it is May. I want to sleep comfortably but can’t because it was 28 in the room. You can’t open the windows because of the noise outside. The location is awesome but who cares if you are too tired to enjoy the area.
