Pros:

I was confused by the place but they honestly did give me the information on how to get in except one small detail. It's fine though. The place was very quiet. There's a lot of door codes and cameras. The bathroom was leaking from the ceiling. The room is perfectly clean. But I didn't realize there's no private bathroom. No bugs. No funny smells. However, I think it's overpriced for what it is: communal bathroom, hidden, kiosk hotel.

Pros:

A surprisingly well priced little gem. A little tricky to find, once inside it’s a tidy and clean haven from the bustling world outside. We stopped for a short night after flying in and checked in (with a super-friendly lady) at about 23:30!
Bed was very comfy and The Botanist room was lovely and had a private bathroom. A lovely little find for a low price!

Self check-in option is efficient and effective. Great vibes deco, and cleanliness is good. Setback : sewage system - there was foul smell from the drainage in the toilet area.

Pros:

The staff was very kind helping us navigate the check in. The “king and twin” room was very spacious. There were local options for eating around as well as conscience stores. Great for our one night stay before our flight the next morning.

Pros:

너무 별로입니다….. 일단 너무 습하고 꿉꿉해서 이불을 덮고 싶지 않구요 가장 중요한건 밖에서 자는 기분이 들 정도로 밖 소음이 다들립니다. 옆방 소음도 다들려서 오토바이소리 차소리 옆방 알람소리로 2-3시간 잔거같네요
차라리 이럴거면 공항 캡슐호텔이 나을 뻔 했어요…..

Pros:

카톡으로 상세하게 체크인 방법이랑 찾아오는 길 알려줘서 좋았어요. 공항에서 택시타고 가면 BANK MUALAMAT AEROPOD 이라는 곳으로 그랩 타고 가세요 여기 바로 옆에 호텔로 들어가는 상가건물 문이 있어요 찾아오는 길 카톡 제대로 안 읽고 더 아틀리에 찍고가니 그랩기사가 혼란스러워 했어요ㅜㅜ 내리는 곳도 뒷편으로 내려줘서 저 뱅크 찾아서 한참 돌았음.. 방은 작지만 예쁘고 전망 좋고 잘 꾸며져있어요 베이커리방에서 묵었어요 다만 방음은 잘 안돼요..옆방이랑 복도소리 생생하게 들려요 새벽비행기로 도착하고 잠깐 묵을 가성비 숙소로 추천~

Pros:

Lovely room, very comfortable.I like the concept of pottery art and room design. Location of the boutique hotel is just opposite the airport which is perfect for my quick layover. Bathroom is clean and no issue at all for the shared bathroom. Highly recommended
