Ottima posizione, ottimo staff, non ci siamo con le stanze, la pulizia e l'igiene.
Pros:

lo staff molto gentile ed educato. Gli spazi comuni sono ok. Zona ottima.

Cons:

Stanze minuscole, sporche, bagno con doccia incorporata, ogni volta che fai la doccia bagni tutto l'ambiente. Appena siamo entrati nella stanza un tanfo, zanzare ovunque. Dopo aver acceso il condizionatore, si sentiva puzza di muffa venire fuori. Ho sviluppato una dermatite fastidiosa che è andata via dopo aver lasciato la stanza per sempre.

Pros:

The location was great, everything was very straightforward and it had everything I needed. The rooms are fairly basic and small but that is to be expected in a big city. The Korean wet-room shower was an experience for sure. The bed was quite firm but I quite liked it and I slept great.

Cons:

I don't think there was anything I didn't like. It's very self-service which some people may not like but I generally prefer to be left to do my own thing, and definitely don't need daily housekeeping.

It was safe and clean with the gentil stuff ready to help. I've stayed with my 2 children and if i come once more i will definitely consider to re-stay here.

Correct et bien situé
Pros:

La localisation est parfaite et permet d'accéder à pied à des parcs ou monuments majeurs de Séoul. Il a tout ce qu'il faut comme cafés, ruelles sympathiques et offres de transport en bus ou en métro. Les chambres sont sobres mais il y a ce qu'il faut. La petite tour de 9 étages se dresse dans un îlot très calme, sans voitures et on peut dormir fenêtre ouverte si on n'aime pas climatiser. Au sous-sol buanderie en accès gratuit. Petit salon à l'accueil, qui associe bureau de réception et écran.

Cons:

J'ai connu cet établissement il y a 10 ans quand on pouvait accéder au toit terrasse et bénéficier d'un petit déjeuner simple et gratuit au sous-sol. Les tarifs restent raisonnables mais ont augmenté..
