“Winter here is a treat; the strawberry-themed bar is worth the splurge, a detail that elevates a couple's stay. Service impresses and subway access simplifies Seoul, yet I find Gwanghwamun better for family trips. I appreciate the well-trained staff and superior breakfast, it's a solid recommendation from me.”
