“This budget option stands out for its prime location near the DDP, helpful staff, and clean rooms, offering a practical base for exploring Seoul; the wet room shower and smaller rooms are drawbacks to note. For travelers prioritizing location and service over luxury, especially those on shorter stays, this could be a sensible choice.”
