Only stayed for one night but the room was cozy, clean, and comfortable! It’s about a 15 minute walk from the bullet train station so be mindful of that if you’re hauling around luggage, the sidewalks are not luggage friendly. Overall, a great hotel in a great area with a lot of local food nearby! Would stay again for longer whenever I return to Korea.

Great hotel, friendly and super service by staff

This is really a comfortable hotel. Staff is very friendly with a great service provided. Room looked like the pictures and was very clean and neat. Terrace was a great plus. It had also a movable frame with net against bugs and mosquitos. For this we could sleep with the door open en have fresh air. Location is great, in a posh upscale area with lots of bars and restaurants. Also the nightlife scene is around but was no disturbance for us. Overall best hotel we had in south Korea price quality wise.
