Rating Details

8.5 Excellent 84개 리뷰

3-star hotel, 5 min walk from Jongno 3-ga Station. Strengths include proximity to Jongno hotspots and a quiet accommodation environment, with the rarity of being pet-friendly. However, bathroom layout may be inconvenient. Adjacent to Insadong, Bukchon, and Changdeokgung Palace, it's suitable for active Seoul travelers.
