You can order delivery the day before, but you can’t order a different person the next day.

The location is okay, but when I went there at the end of April, I couldn't help order delivery, which was a pity. In the morning, the service attitude of young people was good, but in the evening there was a man about 50-60 years old who had a very bad attitude. The supermarket downstairs was under renovation when we went there, which was a pity.There is a breakfast included. Although it is the same every day, it is still full. From the balcony over the breakfast, you can take pictures of Gwanghwamun, which is beautiful.

Next to the city hall, Exit 4 of Seoul Subway Line 1 can be reached within a 5-minute walk. The 6701 airport bus station at the door can go directly to Incheon Airport, and the transportation is very convenient.There is a coffee shop and convenience store downstairs of the hotel. It is located on Sejong Avenue. Visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gwanghwamun, Seoul City Hall, Deoksugung Palace, Seokwall-ro, and Cheonggyecheon Stream are all within a 10-minute walk.There are also good restaurants and McDonald's behind the hotel. The Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup recommended by the Michelin Guide is only a 12-minute walk away.Although it has an international three-star certification, it is unfortunately located in the city center, the room is small and a bit old, but the service staff have a very good attitude.The nearby Sejong Avenue has high traffic volume and loud noise, and it will be even noisier if there is a protest march.By the way, please don’t expect breakfast.
