The hotel room was very large and spacious, offering a lot for a twin room. However, I personally didn't like the carpet and bathroom, which is to be expected in Korea. The room could use a thinner blanket.

The hotel is ideally located in Insadong with easy access to Jongno 3ga station, exit 4, surrounded by a variety of food and drink options. The rooms are compact but cozy, and the service is friendly and accommodating. However, the dining experience can feel crowded during peak times. The location is excellent for exploring the historic part of town and enjoying traditional Korean hospitality.
