bathroom issues

location problems

this hotel’s location is just okay, nestled in a sketchy alley where local drunks smoke, not exactly five-star entertaining. apparently, the toilet paper is made from sandpaper—very charming! as a sophisticated guest, i expected a welcome gift or at least a room upgrade, but clearly that’s too much to ask for.

What an amazing experience! The staff truly made our stay exceptional, especially Harim who walked us to the bus stop carrying our luggage. The location is unbeatable, just a stone's throw away from Myeongdong Market and Namdaemun Market, making it super convenient for shopping and dining. Plus, the heated floors were a lovely touch on chilly days!

An amazing stay, thanks to the superb location and friendly staff! Just a 5-minute walk to both Myeongdong Market and Namdaemun Market, which are perfect for food enthusiasts and shopaholics alike. The rooftop lounge was fantastic for late-night coffee, making it a great spot to unwind after a busy day.

lack of family activities

We loved exploring Myeongdong Street, with its vibrant food stalls and shops. The location was stellar for our family. It was a relief to find a pet-friendly hotel. Comfortable beds ensured everyone got some rest.

For dads, it would be great if there were more activities for kids.
