“In my opinion, the location is a true highlight for experiencing Seoul's cultural heart, especially given its proximity to the Ikseon Hanok streets. The on-site sauna and fitness center are unexpected bonuses for a 3-star hotel, and I think that families, in particular, will appreciate the convenience, despite some possible room size limitations. I'd suggest confirming about the air conditioning beforehand.”
