Excellent Location and Helpful Staff
helpful staffnamsan tower viewfamous places
The staff are helpful and very nice I appreciated their readiness to assist. The rooftop area offers a view of Namsan Tower a great bonus. The hotel's location allows easy access to many famous places.
The gym had old outdated equipment. The breakfast was included with the price which I can say that it was a worse breakfast that I have seen. It was terrible.
