“This hotel stands out for its prime location, a short walk from the subway and Gwangjang Market. I was impressed by the practical self-check-in, particularly convenient for late arrivals, plus the unexpected addition of USB-C chargers in the rooms is a thoughtful touch. While soundproofing could be improved, the overall value and cleanliness make it a solid choice.”
