Pros:

Location is very good. Staff is nice people! Thanks everyone. They are very smiling and helpful. Myeongdong street is so close. Walking to 5-7 minutes. Seoul station is two stop by bus from hotel. If you want, you can walk to Palace. We liked it!

Çalışanlar çok güler yüzlü ve yardımcıydı
Pros:

Çalışanlar çok güler yüzlü ve çalışkanlardı. Otelin konumu city hall istasyanonu çok yakındı. Özellikle Dustin bize çok yardımcı oldu, çok güler yüzlüydü.

Cons:

Kore standartlarına göre iyiydi ama biraz bizim Türkiyedeki otellere göre küçüktü. Odanın penceresi vardı ama çok ışık almıyordu.

Cons:

Though we left our room with the make up room notif. They didn't clean/change towels. The next day, I left a note on their lobby requesting make up room. But they also didn't do it, they said because make up room wasnt on. 😐

השימוש במכונות הכביסה היה מוגבל לזמנים שבו פעל דלפק הקבלה וזה לא היה נח.

Pros:

very convenient location. Bus stop right in front of the alley. Walking distance to Myeongdong Market, Namdaemun Market, and City Hall Subway station. CU, 711 and other places to eat very nearby. Olive Young and Starbucks a couple doors down.

The room was very nice and clean. Staff is very friendly.

I would stay here again.

Cons:

The room was a little smaller than expected based on the pictures but still very comfortable.

I went to try to use the laundry and the machines were out of order.

Pros:

スタッフが親切でした。わずかな要望にも、労を惜しまず対応していただきました。しかも、直ぐに。4月に利用したホテルは、嘘ばっかりのホテルだったので、心配でした。今回は、当たりです。🛀バスタブは、最高でした。部屋の眺めは、期待していません。

Cons:

仕方ないですが、壁が薄く、隣室の声が丸聞こえで寝られない日がありました。夜中にセックスの声とシャワーの音、話声、3時でした。カップルのフロワ-は、決めた方がいいのかも。安いホテルは、若い人が利用するので、どうしたものか？仕方ないか❓

Pros:

The location is excellent—very close to Seoul metro and bus stations, which makes it perfect for tourists. The rooms were decently sized, clean, and well maintained for the price. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful.
