What locals say
Reviewers call it a good-value base in the middle of Myeongdong, with clean beds and friendly staff. Some rooms look out over the Shinsegae and Lotte department stores. The building shows its age: small bathrooms, weak water pressure and rooms that can run cold in winter. A small bathhouse can be booked for a proper soak.
