This was the third hotel we stayed during our 2 week trip in Korea. We enjoyed here so much that we came back after our trip to Busan to stay for another 3 days. The location was perfect! It was right next to the bus stop and walking distance to the subway. There’s an Olive Young across the street, two convenient stores, and a mall close by. There are plenty of dining options as well. The staff are very warm and friendly They gave us recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. My favorite staff was Hanji who helped check us in and made me want to rebook at Novetel for the end of our trip!

The family room was fantastic. It was the perfect size for a family of four, with plenty of space to relax. The bathroom was equally impressive, and the bath was absolutely huge. Honestly, I couldn't fault either the room or the hotel. The only slight and I mean slight downside was the location. If it had been a little closer to Myeongdong, it would have been perfect. Travelling on the subway with four people and two large suitcases each isn't ideal for everyone, although, in fairness, I could have taken a taxi and you'll only do that twice.

Me and my partner went to sell South Korea for vacation during the winter time. This hotel wasn’t even our first choice, but this was the best option that Hotels.com could have given us, and it did not disappoint the restaurant in the bar at the hotel offered many selections and they were great. This hotel was walking distance to one of the local market and we enjoyed our trip to the local market. This hotel is highly recommended.
