My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the presence of a sensor light near the entrance and bathroom was a bit inconvenient. The hotel had a clear smell of cigarette smoke, which was not pleasant. On the positive side, the hotel was very well-maintained and provided a good level of comfort overall.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were not only clean and luxurious but also very functional with a great design. However, the sensor light near the entrance and bathroom was a bit of a disturbance at night. The service was top-notch, especially the housekeeping which kept everything tidy. The location was perfect, just a short walk to Sinseol-dong Gate 10, although it was slightly out of the way from e-mart and Sinseoul dong station. The dining experience was simple but satisfactory. The facilities were fantastic overall with great value for the price.
