I had a really great stay at this hotel, which is perfectly situated for those who love shopping, especially in the bustling Dongdaemon area. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The staff was super friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. However, I wish the breakfast selection was a bit more extensive, and while the facilities were nice, they could be improved. Overall, though, it was a solid value for the price I paid.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a good choice overall. The location is absolutely fantastic, close to shopping and convenient stores. The staff was very friendly and helpful, making our stay more enjoyable. On the downside, while the rooms were clean, they felt a bit compact for a family of four, and the breakfast left something to be desired. Still, considering the price, I would say it offers decent value for money.
