7.0 Very Good 213개 리뷰

Hotel within a 5-minute walk from Dongdaemun Station. Strengths include a convenient check-in process and comfortable bedding, with excellent access to nearby attractions. However, there may be a significant mosquito problem. Adjacent to Changdeokgung Palace and Insadong, it is ideal for travelers exploring downtown Seoul.
