A Good Parisian Escape

The hotel's location is perfect. Myeongdong is right next door, and the metro station is a very short walk. The french style decor is very nice. The staff are very kind and always went out their way to help. The room was spacious and had lovely features.

I found that some amenities were missing. There was no air dresser or hair straightener.

Decent Stay with Lingering Issues

dim lightingcigarette smoke

I was disappointed by a couple of things. The lighting in the room was quite dim. Better lighting is definitely needed. a smoke smell permeated the room on two separate nights. (I think the bar on the top floor could be the source.) This was really unpleasant as I am sensitive to cigarette smoke.
