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.

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.
