서울 출장 2박을 마음 편안하게 있을수 있는 숙소 였고 무엇보다 객실이 사이즈가 넓어 다음에 가족들과 함께 숙박을 하기에 적합하다 생각이 든다. 단점은 오래된 호텔이라 복도에서 약간의 냄새가 났던것이 아싑다. 전반적으로 훌륭했다. 재방문 의사 100%

대중교통(3호선 안국역 근처)이 편리하고, 광화문과 인사동 등 유명 관광지 및 국내 굴지의 대기업 본사들이 밀집된 곳 정중앙에 있어 좋았습니다. 주변 고급 및 가성비 좋은 음식점도 많구요. 재방문 의사 있습니다.

6살 2살 아기와 함께 했어요. 시설은 오래되었지만 아이들이 움직이고 자기에 좋은 온돌바닥이라 편했습니다. 주방이 잘 갖춰져있고 전자레인지와 정수기, 커피포트가 있어서 분유와 이유식 주기엔 좋았습니다! 가습기도 신청해서 받았는데 잘 썼어요^^ 추가로 받은 침구가 낡아서 아쉬웠지만 혹시 몰라서 아이들 담요를 미리 챙겼고 난방을 틀어서 따숩게 잘 잤어요ㅎ 아, 1층에 중식당 정말 맛있으니 꼭 경험하시길. 그리고 광화문, 인사동, 북촌 진짜 너무 가까워서 편안한 여행 했어요. 어린아이와 가신다면 아이용 물품은 미리 챙기시길!

리모델링된 객실이라 깔끔해서 좋았고, 3명이서 놀고, 자기에 딱 좋았어요. 안국역, 삼청동, 북촌, 경복궁, 인사동 주요 관광지와 가까운 점이 제일 장점인듯 합니다!
