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.
