Reception

1. The Magpie Hotel

The Magpie Hotel
Insa-dong, 2.6 km from Seodaemun Prison History Museum
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (6 reviews)
"Recommend this hotel for anyone who plans to be near Myeongdong with easy access to Airport bus to Incheon airport. Room is nicely renovated and spacious. Breakfast on the second floor is adequate if you enjoy western bagel breakfast. The lighting for the room is inconvenient since it's only at the entrance. Shower is also designed oddly with no edge to keep water in as there is only a piece of glass between the shower and basin. There is also only two coat hangers which is frustrating."
