Amazing location and decent value for a short stay.
Pros:

The location is excellent, with a great Hanok village just 1 minute away. Good mattress and pillows. The heated floor makes the space super cosy.

Good services downstairs, with a number of washing and drying machines, plus there's a steamer in the room.

Cons:

It is not a problem per se, but the bedroom is quite small if you are used to European or North American hotels. The toilet was loose, making it very uncomfortable to use.

Lack of baskets to help move clothes around and the dryer should be cleaned of lint more often.

Hostal senzill però ben ubicat i bé de preu
Pros:

M’ha agradat sobretot on està ubicat, que el personal és molt eficient i amable i els llits són còmodes

Cons:

L’habitació és molt molt petita, no hi ha plat de dutxa, ni cap armari i les toballoles grans estan molt velles i no n’hi han de recanvi.

Perfect location and a good, affordable property
Pros:

The location couldn’t be better and it was extremely good value for money. The room was comfortable and the staff were friendly.

Cons:

I think there should have been a rooftop terrace but it wasn’t open/available, which was a shame.
