“I only had one day in Seoul and spent it here happily. The staff seemed really friendly and caring. My standard double room was nicely decorated with a bathtub, and the fridge, electric kettle, and air conditioning were nice extras. The location was perfect for getting around Seoul, just next to the slope down to Myeongdong, with buses to Incheon airport costing about 14,000 to 15,000 won, plus two main subway stations nearby. The Myeongdong district was worth staying in.”
