5.9 Okay 56개 리뷰

Hotel within a 10-minute walk from Jeongneung Station. Strengths include the host's kindness and a comfortable atmosphere, allowing for quiet rest. However, hygiene conditions are very poor. Adjacent to Changdeokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, and Gyeongbokgung Palace, it is suitable for visitors exploring Seoul's history.
