Check in and check out was incredibly fast and easy. There are two convent stores near by, one in the building and a GS25 across the street. Perfect location, only a 5 min walk from the subway. Room was clean and service was perfect. I’d recommend this stay for anyone who wants to be near Myeongdong ...
