Würde das Zimmer wieder buchen
Pros:

Schön gestaltetes Zimmer mit ausreichend Platz. Bequemes Bett und guter Bad/Dusche-Lösung. Sehr nah an Bahn und Bushaltestelle. In der Nähe gibts Einkaufsmöglichkeiten wie auch gute Essenslokale. Um bei längeren Aufenthalten Wäsche zu waschen gibt es in der Nähe Waschsalons.

Cons:

Habe das Zimmer mit meiner Teenie-Tochter geteilt und das einzige kleine Manko sind die matten glässernen Schiebetüren zu Bad und Toilette .

Pros:

I loved everything about this hotel. The staff were incredibly kind and very helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom has a private toilet and shower but otherwise open. If you’re sharing with friends or even some family members it may not offer enough privacy. Perfectly fine for solo travellers. I loved that the location was a bit further from the tourist areas. It was less chaotic and more relaxed. It was easy to get to most places using public transit. Will definitely be back.

Cons:

More hooks or hangers to hang clothes and towels.

Удобное расположение, хорошая цена:-)
Pros:

Отличное расположение, удобно добраться из аэропорта Инчхон, автобус №6011 останавливается напротив гостиницы (стоимость проезда 17 000 вон). Рядом есть станция метро, можно быстро добраться до центра города. Рядом с гостиницей круглосуточные магазины, закусочные, кофейни, очень много разнообразных ресторанов корейской кухни .

Cons:

Номер слишком маленький и темный, небольшое окно к комнате. Нет возможности регулировать температуру в номере (общая система кондиционирования), в номере было очень жарко. Нет шкафа для одежды.
