Rating Details

8.1 Excellent 277개 리뷰

5-star hotel within a 15-minute walk to Gyeongbokgung Station. Strengths include an excellent stay experience and modern facilities, with high overall service satisfaction. However, extremely poor accessibility due to its terrible location. Not recommended for tourists due to proximity to Namdaemun Market and Myeongdong Street.
