“Rooms are clean and cosy, with all the basics. I paid around £93,783, which seems fair for what you get. The location is handy, near two metro stations, making getting around easy.”

“Great value hotel, perfect position near Dongdaemun History & Culture Park subway. Savoury breakfast with toast and yogurt, for example. Close to the Design Plaza and very economical shopping malls, most attractions within 45 minutes, several subway stations and a night food market. Plus, walking distance to Karst Gallery.”
