convenient location and comfortable stay

metro station airport transportation ancient palace

the hotel is conveniently next to the city hall metro station. bus 6071 provides easy airport transportation. i found it very close to ancient palaces, including gyeongbokgung palace and deoksugung palace. it is a 10-minute walk to myeongdong, a shopping area.

i experienced limited access to the pool. access was restricted to only once per day for 3 or 4 hours. this schedule was not ideal for my travel plans.

Dining
