The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from City Hall metro station, making it easy to explore Seoul's main attractions and local eateries. The rooms are tidy and have a cozy atmosphere, though they could be larger for added comfort. I truly appreciated the complimentary coffee and cookies available all day. The service was exceptional; the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, even assisting with currency exchange. Overall, it offered great value for the prime location, although there was room for enhancement in certain areas.

My stay at Hotel ShinShin was quite nice overall. The location is fantastic, with easy access to subway stations and plenty of nearby restaurants and shopping. The staff was very helpful and made check-in a breeze, but I found the rooms a bit small for our needs. Breakfast options could be better for the price, but I appreciated the environmental policies in place. Overall, it felt like good value for a budget hotel in the heart of Seoul.
