7.9 Very Good 2,307개 리뷰

3-star hotel 5 minutes walk from Dongdaemun Station. Strengths include excellent cleanliness and multilingual staff service, with a high proportion of foreign guests. However, breakfast may not be provided due to waterworks construction. Close to Changdeokgung Palace, N Seoul Tower, and Lotte World, making it suitable for tourists visiting the core areas of Seoul.
