UH Continental SeoulCenter

Sogong-dong, 1.2 km from Gwanghwamun

"I must say, this was an excellent choice, and value for money. The rooms and service felt luxurious. Even though we slept until 2pm, the cleaning crew waited and came to clean in the afternoon. The hotel was well connected to myeongdong by underground walk, so you don't have to worry about heat or rain. Take the airport bus to Westin Josun, it's next by. You don't have to climb metro stairs with heavy luggage. Convenience store next by."

"This accommodation is traditional Korean lodging style with only a comforter (some has stains) as a bedding which is hard for those not used to hard sleeping surface. The floor is heated though. Air conditioning is available. The space is small for 4 people with luggages. The Korean breakfast is great and served at 8 am. The location is close to many restaurants (even Michelin rated) and walking distance to Gyeongbokdung palace and train stations. "
