Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Smaller than some may expect for the price — Given the modern amenities and central location, the rooms may not be the largest in the city, so those seeking spacious accommodation might want to check dimensions.
  • No parking listed — The hotel does not appear to offer on-site parking, which could be a consideration for guests driving in Seoul.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only available from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to plan ahead.
  • Pets are not allowed — Guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere, as the hotel enforces a no-pets policy.
