Posizione centrale, servizi essenziali presenti e lavanderia gratuita
Pros:

Servizio lavanderia gratuito, posizione ottima

Cons:

Il bagno con una piccola manutenzione potrebbe risultare più accogliente (chiusura fori, pulizia del silicone e sistemazione dei porta oggetti)

位置相当好，但是房间潮湿比较小，很久没有装修了，墙壁有裂缝。前台服务人员工作时间打私人电话还讨论客人的行为，有一些不礼貌。
Pros:

地理位置相当好，附近有很多好吃的好玩的，还有我的首尔当地朋友都没去过的街道。位置十分。

Cons:

前台的服务人员打电话的时候，我刚好坐在大厅里跟我的韩国朋友聊天。这个前台的服务人员会在电话里和他的朋友讨论我和我的朋友，令我感到不适。而且前台人员在工作时间打私人电话让我觉得不合适。

Bon emplacement
Pros:

L'emplacement est idéal. Machines et sèche linges disponibles.

Cons:

Salle de bain un peu petite, mais on s'y fait. Remplacement des grandes serviettes de bain pas systématique contrairement aux plus petites. Mais il suffit de les demander.

Odaların çok küçük olması dışında iyi bir otel
Pros:

Konumu güzel ve metro istasyonuna yakındı

Cons:

Odalar çok küçük 3 kişi aynı anda hareket edemedik. Dolabı zaten geçtim ama valiz koymaya bile yer bulamadık odada. Çok zor oldu 3 kişi için
