Great longterm vacation.
Pros:

Location was awesome. Walking distance to train, markets and G25 convenience store. Staff was awesome. Love having a kitchen and refrigerator. View of Namsam Tower from bedroom was an added bonus

Cons:

No pool. Didn't get the best deal via booking.com. No concierge. Pretty much I had to use ChatGPT and NAVER Maps to find and do anything.

Good but bathroom was bad
Pros:

Location was good and staff was incredibly helpful and nice!

Cons:

The bathroom design was absolutely terrible. We stayed in a three person room: the drain for the shower runs towards the outside of the shower space, towards the toilet, which wets the entire bathroom. This made it extremely difficult for two people to be there and for the next person as everything was soaked!! Not to mention the amount of mold.

Overall, we would definitely recommend this hotel to others looking for comfort, good service, and a convenient location
Pros:

We recently stayed at this hotel and had a very pleasant experience. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and the staff were welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. Our room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with comfortable bedding and all the basic amenities we needed.
One of the highlights was the location—it was convenient and close to key attractions, making it easy to get around.

Cons:

None

Pros:

駅近でどこに行くにも便利。スタッフは語学力あり、対応素晴らしい。部屋は広く、韓国ホテルちありがちな、シャワーするとトイレまで水が浸食してくる問題もなく、快適。建物は古く、やや薄暗い感じなので、夜間に行くとビビるが、総じてコスパがよい。

Pros:

The location and perfect lay out for family stay
