7.4/10

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were quiet, clean, and in a great location, offering a single queen bed and a standard room with two twins. The cleanliness of the room after the cleaning was immaculate, and it had everything I needed. However, some aspects of the service could be improved, as they were not so friendly. The location was superb, perfect for walking around Insadong, a famous tourist area in Seoul known for its Korean traditional tea and delicious food. The dining options were lacking, and the breakfast variety needs improvement. Overall, a good value for money.
