The hotel is situated in a lovely neighborhood, close to transport and with a very close proximity to that theatre. The rooms provide a great space for tea, coffee, or just chatting with other guests while enjoying a beautiful view on the upper floors with shared bathrooms. The service, although with a minor hiccup regarding the late check-out request approval, was excellent overall. The dining experience, offering Korean food included, was a delightful touch. However, the facilities could use some improvements, considering the price paid.
