7.9 Very Good 616개 리뷰

5 min walk to Gyeongbokgung Station, 3-star hotel. Strengths include comfortable bedding and affordable prices, allowing for a budget-friendly Seoul trip. However, room ventilation may be somewhat insufficient. Close to Gyeongbokgung, Bukchon, and Insadong, suitable for tourists wanting to explore Seoul thoroughly.
