konumu ve konforu harika bir otel
Pros:

Konumu çok iyiydi tam myangdong merkez girişinde. odalar büyük ve konforlu. Her gün temizlik yapılıyor. Eşyalarınızı koyabilecek yeterli kadar raf ve askı vardı. çok merkezi olmasına rağmen odalar sessizdi. Lobisi gayet ferah ve büyüktü. personel güler yüzlü ve yardımseverdi. Fiyat/fayda dengesi açısından oldukça yeterli. Çamaşır ve kurutma makineleri de çok kullanışlıydı.

Cons:

Oda içindeki masanın aynası yoktu. aynaya bakmak için sürekli dolap önüne gitmek gerekti.

Insgesamt haben wir unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden das Hotel weiter empfehlen.
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral in einer beliebten und belebten Gegend. Es ist ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt, um die Stadt zu erkunden. Unser Zimmer war etwas klein, aber das Doppelbett war schön groß und total bequem, so dass wir sehr gut geschlafen haben. Im Hotel ist es herrlich ruhig und gut klimatisiert. Das Frühstück war ausreichend und gut, das Personal ist freundlich und zurückhaltend.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war relativ klein und man hat kaum Schrankkapazitäten.

Myeongdong was vibrant and perfect for night markets, delicious street food and shopping.
Pros:

The hotel's location was excellent, with plenty of shops and attractions within easy walking distance. The only downside was that the nearest train station wasn't particularly close. Overall, though, it was a fantastic location. The room, on the other hand, could have been a little more spacious, especially considering that many people travel to South Korea for shopping and often have plenty of luggage!

Cons:

One downside was the size of the room, which felt quite compact, especially if you're travelling with multiple suitcases or planning to do a lot of shopping. In addition, the hotel did not offer a luggage transfer or forwarding service, unlike many other hotels in South Korea. This would have been a convenient amenity for travellers moving between cities or carrying larger amounts of luggage.
