Pros:

Hôtel moderne propre et très bien situé dans le quartier animé d’Itaewon mais en étant su calme

Cons:

L’accueil à la réception : après un bonjour “automatique”, la jeune fille nous a montré directement la tablette sur laquelle nous devons lire les choses à ne pas faire dans l’hôtel. Une liste d’interdictions qu’il faut signer. Est-ce une façon d’accueillir des clients dans un hôtel ? On ne se sent pas les bienvenus.

İyi konum, tatlı çalışanlar ama karanlık oda ve koridorlar.
Pros:

Konumu iyi. Metro ve otobüse yakın. Bunu bilerek tutmamıştım ama tesadüfen de olsa çevrede bir sürü Türk restoran ve hemen arka sokakta cami ve helal yemek satan yerlerin olması çok iyiydi. Seul’den helal yemek bulmak zor bu konuda hassasiyeti olan biri olarak otel çevresinde yemek yiyip o o şekilde farklı yerleri gezmek iyiydi. Ayrıca personelleri de çok beğendim hem resepsiyondaki kişiler hem de kat görevlisi oldukça tatlı ve yardımseverdi.

Cons:

Odalar ve koridorlar inanılmaz karanlık. Bunun bu kadar büyük bir konforsuzluk yaratacağını düşünmemiştim ama çok etkiledi. Ayrıca odanın içi neredeyse tamamen ayna bu da rahatsız edici. Bunu iki durum olmasa belki de 5/5 bir oteldi.
