Top Seodaemun Prison History Museum Hotel Reviews

Koreana Hotel

Koreana Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was excellent size and the location was perfect, right in the center of a lot of things to do. Within walking to the palace, shopping and lot sod food places. There’s an airport bus service right in front of the airport, which is very useful than affordable price. Easy to use. Just pay the bus driver on the spot. My inky complaint is the room AC wasn’t as good as we expected. They did accommodate and give us some fans. Overall, I will stay here again. Great hotel for the price."
