All air-conditioned rooms have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a refrigerator. Bathroom includes a shower booth, a hairdryer and free toiletries.

It was perfectly placed in the middle of everything worth visiting, with only a short walk from Seoul Station. The staff was very friendly, spoke English and gave us good tips for how to get around in Seoul and what to see. The hotel room was also nice. It was small, but that was no problem as we only slept there and the price was very low.
