Pros:
- The room was spacious, beautiful, and cozy.
- Having two showers was very convenient, and there was also a great vanity table for doing makeup.
- The view of Namsan Tower was lovely.
- The blackout curtains were fantastic and let in zero light in the morning.
- There are two TVs, including one right in front of the jacuzzi—I loved soaking in the tub while watching YouTube 🫶🏼.
- Breakfast is served at the ground-floor restaurant; the selection is quite limited, so I wouldn't recommend opting for it if you're staying long-term. However, the dishes are delicious and hearty—we stayed full for hours afterwards.
- The location is very convenient, about a 10-minute walk to Myeongdong. For K-pop fans, Lotte Star Avenue with idols' handprints is nearby!
- We didn't notice any strange or harsh chemical odors, contrary to what other reviews mentioned.
- You can check out 1 hour late, but it costs an extra 20,000 KRW, payable upfront.
Cons:
- Poor value for money. Housekeeping consisted only of changing towels and taking out the trash. As far as I could tell, anything extra required a surcharge, which is odd for a hotel in this price range. No one offered to help with luggage either. Overall, the staff was quite indifferent and detached, though not rude.
- I was celebrating a milestone birthday at the hotel and mentioned it in advance during booking, but unfortunately, my request was ignored and nothing was provided.
- While the room is pretty, it lacks functionality: there are no wardrobes to unpack your clothes, and no towel hooks, which is quite inconvenient.
- When draining the jacuzzi, it makes very loud, piercing noises for a full half-hour... it was terrifying and extremely loud 🙂
Overall, it's a decent hotel, but the price is definitely too high.
