Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Koreana Hotel enjoys an unbeatable location, conveniently close to City Hall and Gwanghwamun Stations, with a CU store right next door for easy access to snacks and drinks. The spacious rooms are frequently praised, and some have noted the convenience of the limousine bus stopping right outside for easy airport access, with the earliest pickup at 4:30 AM. Families particularly appreciate the Family Room, equipped with toys, a PlayStation, and even child-sized bathrobes, though some guests have found the rooms a bit darker than expected. The ability to store luggage is a further bonus.

poor lightingexpensive breakfast

the room felt darker than i expected, even during the day. the lighting in the bathroom also wasnt good. after showering, i noticed a lot of water pooled on the floor, this was probably from a faulty shower curtain. the breakfast cost extra, it felt very expensive.
