Great area if you are keen to see the tourist hot spots. But even better to walk around the streets near the hotel and see lots of great food and shopping.

Lovely staff, great location and breakfast was quite good too. Rooms are small and it's hard to accomodate 2 suitcases especiallt as the space for hanging clothes was very small.
We enjoyed our stay here however and loved Seoul!!!

Perfect pick for my first solo trip to Korea
Comfortable room, good breakfast buffet and perfect location since it is 5-10 minute walk to 2 subway station lines, Anguk and Jongno station (Orange and Blue lines respectively), as well as several bus stops option. The neighborhood is also quiet at night and safe.

The check- in was quick, the front desk staff was nice. But there are a couple of downsides, no luggage carts, we had to unload a dozen of big luggages from the airport van and load them again in the elevator in two trips.
