8/10 Good

"The location is excellent. Turn right when you step outside and you’ll find a unique street; turn left and there are plenty of Korean restaurants. It’s very close to Anguo Station—just a two-minute walk from Exit 6. It’s also close to many tourist attractions, all within a 15-minute walk. There are no public restrooms in the lobby, but there is luggage storage, as well as free instant noodles and coffee."

10/10 Excellent

"First of all the location is perfect! Close to all the main attractions, metro and bus stations! The staff was kind and helpful, the room was impeccably cleaned every day, the view was amazing!! Breakfast was good but almost the same every day, some changes would be nice. One negative element though.. We were a couple and out 11 year old daughter and there was only one bed and it was not even king. It was barely comfortable but we managed..."

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, Connected to duty Free shop and Lotte Dept store, Clean rooms although old hotel the renovation was done nicely. Only thing lacks lounge, bar area, they have a small corner that opens late, shut down being a lounge to serve lunch or dinner, I had to walk to next Hotel for a Coffey."
