The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond and a warm welcome drink. The dining experience was satisfying with delicious gyu-don dishes. The location is unbeatable, being very close to all the key spots. However, the facilities could use some improvement, especially for the price paid.

I couldn't have asked for a better hotel experience! The location was ideal, close to the town center with breathtaking views of what seemed to be the wall of a cave while being conveniently near to all amenities. The rooms were not only spacious and modern but also had kitchen facilities, private facilities, large comfortable towels, and even a tray on the lap for added comfort. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond in the friendliest manner, and the housekeeping service was impeccable. The dining experience exceeded my expectations, with a delicious meal including Angus beef served for three on trays. However, the price seemed to lean towards the higher end but was truly worth it for the value provided.
