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.

The hotel has a perfect location in downtown Seoul, with friendly staff and convenient amenities, but the dining options for breakfast could definitely be improved. While the rooms are clean and comfortable, there's a lack of space and privacy. Overall, it's a decent choice if you plan to be out exploring most of the day.

My stay at the hotel was pretty mixed. The rooms were clean and cozy, but a bit small for two big suitcases. The service was friendly and helpful, which made a difference in my experience. However, the location was a bit of a maze and not as convenient as I hoped. The dining options were limited, and everything outside the building was quite average.

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.
