The property is very near two major subway lines. The rooms are rather small but appropriate to the low price. It is very near to Insa Dong, a nice shopping area for arts and souveniers.
This hotel is the first choice when we stay around Jongno. I remember staffs were kind and pleasant to stay all the time. But this time I didn't get that much of welcome feeling. It doesn't mean we were not happy to stay. Just feeling.
