“What struck me most is its location; nestled behind Namsan Tower and near Myeongdong Station, getting around Seoul feels effortless from here. The private bathrooms in each room are a real plus, and the terrace with city views provides a welcome escape. It's a cozy base that I think balances urban exploration with quiet comfort rather well.”
