Extra large and spacious room. Great value for money. Plenty of food options nearby and close enough to Nambu Bus termin
Pros:

The room was exceptionally large and spacious and well equipped with a separate shower and standalone bathtub. Plenty of storage and room to spread out.

Cons:

The waterfall shower head wasn’t working properly but still did the job.

A very relaxed and upmarket experience in an interesting and untoursty part of Seoul
Pros:

The fitting of the rooms was really luxurious. There were nice touches like a radio, a rainshower/bath, and a window room which were not advertised in the photos

Cons:

If anything it was only the small thing of not having a waste disposal in the food eating area which guests could access but other than that, it was a pretty positive stay!

Fantastic hotel
Pros:

Our room was very spacious like ma dream house. One of the best hotel room I have ever been in. Fresh cooked breakfast every morning. I don't know the hotel is just 3 stars. With some little tweaks it should be 4/5 stars.

Cons:

The floor wall papers are too much. Something simple and classy will be great. And a bigger lift would very helpful.

Es hat alles perfekt funktioniert, mein Aufenthalt wird mir in Erinnerung bleiben.
Pros:

Sehr schöne Ausstattung, jedes Zimmer ist anders. Tolle Betten! Super großzügige Badezimmer, riesige Dusche. Für mich war die Lage vom Hotel perfekt. Übrigens habe ich mein Zimmer in der Zeit gewechselt, was kein Problem war und sofort gemacht wurde. Also der Service ist hervorragend.

Cons:

Es gab keine Früchte oder Blumen oder andere Kleinigkeiten wie eine Postkarte oder ähnliches im Zimmer.
