i loved the location near the metro stations! breakfast was included, and it gave me energy to start the day. the staff were courteous (i really liked how they handled everything!). there were snacks in the room as a welcome gift.

the tv colors were off. i couldn't adjust them. it made it impossible to watch movies (not that i planned to, but still!).

the hotel location is great because it's near metro lines 1 and 2. this makes getting around the city easy. the staff was friendly and helpful. i found the room very comfy and tidy. the breakfast buffet had both western and korean choices.

the bed mattress felt loud. it was also not very comfortable or relaxing. the light switching system was complicated. simple switches would be easier.
