Pros:

Buena relación calidad precio. Cerca de la estación de metro. Bares y cafés alrededor buenos.

Cons:

El recepcionista de la noche tiene muy mal carácter. Parece que lo obligan a trabajar ahí. Un día nos tiró la llave sobre el mostrador.
El de la mañana excelente. Muy simpático y agradable.

Отличное расположение, номер и сервис
Pros:

Ежедневная уборка в номерах. Номер просторный и каждый день докладывали новые туалетные принадлежности и меняли полотенца. Отель находится через дорогу от "русского района", что стало неожиданностью приятной для нас. Горничные говорили на русском языке, администраторы - на английском . Заселение прошло быстро, на стойке всегда был алминистратор
Рядом магазины, кафе, рестораны, торговые центры. До метро ближайшего идти 5 минут

Cons:

Мы сходили один раз в сауну. Она была включена в стоимость номера. Для человека, кто первый раз в корейской сауне там не хватает англоговорящего администратора. Женщина администратор была нервной и пыталась мне что то объяснить на корейском. Всё надписи внутри только на корейском, английского нет вообще. Это очень неудобно. Обучите, пожалуйста, администратора базовым фразам на английском.

Окна в номере были, но они в несколько слоёв стекол (вилимо от ветра)и там сделано какое то мутное стекло, то есть улицу через него не видно, но солнечный свет проходит.

よかった
Pros:

掃除が丁寧にされていて清潔感があった。

Cons:

スーツケースを預けるところがスタッフの目に届かないところだったので、盗難に遭わないか少し不安だった。ダミーでもいいのでわかりやすいように防犯カメラで監視中みたいなアピールをしといてほしい

why?
Pros:

I really liked the location close to the train station and ddp

Cons:

저는 한국에 살고 있지만 아직 한국어가 많이 능숙하지 않습니다. 친구를 만나기 위해 이 호텔에 하룻밤 묵게 되었고, 원래 예약했던 다른 호텔이 여행 하루 전에 예약을 취소해서 이곳을 대신 예약했습니다. 가격과 위치, 리뷰도 좋아 보여서 선택했습니다.
처음 체크인할 때는 문제가 없었습니다. 저는 서울을 돌아다닐 예정이어서 객실 열쇠를 프런트에 맡겨두었습니다. 저녁에 돌아와서 한국어로 열쇠를 요청했는데, “열쇠”라는 단어만 몰라서 그 단어만 영어로 말했습니다. 게다가 감기에 걸려 있어서 크게 말하기도 어려웠습니다.
하지만 직원은 짜증난 듯이 한숨을 쉬며 “아이씨”라고 말했고, 이후 “한국어 못하면 영어 해”라고 말했습니다. 저는 한국어로 대화를 하려고 노력하고 있었기 때문에 이런 반응이 매우 불쾌하게 느껴졌습니다.
이 경험 때문에 다시 이 호텔을 이용하고 싶지 않습니다.
I live in Korea, but my Korean is still not very good. I stayed at this hotel for one night because a friend came to visit Korea and we wanted to meet in Seoul. My original hotel cancelled my reservation the day before the trip, so I booked this one instead. The price, location, and reviews all seemed good.
When I checked in, everything seemed fine. Since I wanted to walk around Seoul, I left my room key at the front desk because it had a very large keychain attached. In the evening when I came back, I asked for my key in Korean. The only word I didn’t know was “key,” so I said that one word in English. I also had a cold and couldn’t speak very loudly.
The receptionist reacted quite rudely. While I was trying to explain in broken Korean that I had left my key there, he sighed in an annoyed way and said “아이씨.” After giving me the key, he said in Korean, “If you can’t speak Korean, speak English” (한국어 못하면 영어 해), even though our whole conversation had already been in Korean.
I know my Korean is not perfect, but I am trying my best. Because of this experience, I would unfortunately not choose this hotel again.

Pros:

Die Zimmer sind sehr groß und geräumig. Es gab kuschelige Daunenbetten. Das Hotel hat eine tolle Lage, viele Restaurants in der Nähe. Sie haben eine Gepäckaufbewahrung, wenn man die Koffer noch dort lassen möchte.

駅近、部屋の広さ、バスタブありでこの価格は最高だと思います。
Pros:

駅からも近く、どこに行くのにも便利。東大門エリアの深夜の買い物も徒歩圏内。
フロントは２４時間対応で全員日本語が話せる。
部屋がとても広くスーツケースを３個ぐらい広げられそう。
施設自体は古いが清掃が行き届いていてきれいだった。
小さいがバスタブがあるのが良かった。
施設の古さはあるが、駅が近くてこの価格だったら問題なし。

Cons:

部屋の鍵が旧タイプの預ける鍵だったのが少し面倒だった。でも２４時間人がいるし、日本語も話せるのでそこまで問題ではないが。

Cons:

ネットで調べてはいましたが、地下のサウナや部屋の設備、Wi-Fiの案内など一切説明がなかった
