2.房间干净卫生，空间很大。

Cons:

除了距离市中心有点距离（大概坐地铁30分钟才能到达市中心），其他都很好

Pros:

Nettes Personal, gute Ausstattung.

Cons:

Sehr laut, auch wenn die Fenster geschlossen sind, da direkt davor eine Hauptverkehrsstraße liegt. Bett war nichts für meinen Rücken.

A great value for money hotel with very friendly staff
Pros:

Fantastic hotel close to Metro and bus stops. Great value for money with very friendly and helpful staff. The staff are very willing to use a translator app to help overcome any language issues.

Cons:

Double glazing on the windows might help to cut out some traffic noise, though the street was very quiet during the night

A lot of positives for this hotel and if they could deal with the negatives, it would be great
Pros:

The room was relatively spacious at 20 sqm and the location was convenient - near subway and airport bus, and have loads of food options. The staff was polite and was able to answer our questions promptly. There was free flow of coffee and water in the hotel and that was much appreciated. There was also a proper table and chair for those who need to do some work/writing, with a decent amount of lighting.

Cons:

The room was dusty. There was dust on the phone, top of fridge. blinds, table, and door frames (amongst others as we decided to ignore the rest after we spotted the above). In my opinion, one of the reasons for the high accumulation of dust could be the interior design of the room (which allows for accumulation of dust) that requires a lot of attention to details when cleaning the room. We highlighted this to the front desk and they took prompt attention to clean (thank you!) but it would probably require a deep clean to remove all the dust. The interior of the fridge could also use some cleaning as we could see stains. Just to be clear, the room wasn't dirty but just dusty

Modernes Hotel in ruhiger und zentraler Lage
Pros:

Sehr gute Verkehrsanbindung, trotzdem ruhig gelegen in einem Wohnviertel von Seoul. Alles was man braucht ist fußläufig erreichbar. Das Hotel ist gut ausgestattet, Zimmer haben eine übliche Größe, das Bad ist vergleichsweise groß und alles hat super funktioniert.

Cons:

Ich habe nichts zu bemängeln, lediglich sollte man wissen dass die Mitarbeiter überwiegend kein Englisch sprechen und es keine Frühstücksmöglichkeit direkt im Hotel gibt.
