I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, but the overpowering air freshener was a bit too much. The service was exceptional, especially when the staff served me the vegetarian tokbokki. The location was perfect, right in the bustling shopping district of XMD. The dining options were limited to mostly meat dishes, which was a downside, but overall, a good value for the money.

The hotel is situated in a bustling shopping district, making it convenient for shopping enthusiasts. The rooms offer good Wi-Fi connectivity, though the strong air freshener scent can be overwhelming at times. The service was exceptional, especially when receiving a specially prepared vegetarian dish. The location is ideal for accessing various MRT stations. The dining experience, while offering Chinese food, may not suit meat lovers due to limited options. The facilities are well-maintained, with opportunities for tours and ticket assistance.
