5/5 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location. Public transportation is right at the front door. Limousine bus from ICN airport stop is across the street. Walk across the street to access the Myeongdong action. Rooms are quite small compared to US standards but they are just perfect. Make sure you have app translators to be able to read Korean instructions. Hotel staff members are all very nice. Would definitely stay here again if coming back to Seoul. People outside hotel is a mixed bag. Some are extremely rude if they don’t speak English and cannot understand me. "
