7.4/10

The hotel has a decent distant view of Namsan, and I really appreciated the spacious room with a big bed and a larger closet. It's a bit noisy due to construction in the area, but it's conveniently located near subway stations and plenty of delicious food options. The value for money is good, though I wish the overall atmosphere felt a bit more modern.
