Good hotel right in the centre of Seoul. Great breakfast but if you opt to have an evening meal at the hotel then think again because the food is inedible.

The hotel and staff were lovely. We found it to be a bit far from where we wanted to be. We found other areas of Seoul to have more food options around at all hours. It was also very hot in the room even with air conditioner on cold the whole time. It was hard to sleep as it was hot overnight as soon as the sun started rising and hit the building.

very convenient location. 15mins walking distance to a lot of restaurants and sights.
mattress quite hard, which is a bit uncomfortable for me. pillows are the feathery one which lack support for the neck. we asked for extra duvet, but only thin blanket was available. this is a surprise to me when a hotel has no extra spare duvet available.
