Pros:

ソウルに行く度こちらのホテルを利用しますが、立地が良く、どこに行くにもアクセスが良くホテルの隣にコンビニもあるので快適に過ごせます。

Cons:

お風呂を利用する際にお風呂の構造上仕方ない点ではありますが、脱衣所までシャワーの水で床が濡れてしまうこと。

素晴らしいホテルでした
Pros:

アクセス、清潔さ、スタッフの方の対応全て良かったです

Cons:

強いて言うなら、鏡が洗面所にしかないところぐらい?入口の所や、部屋にはなかったのでメイクは洗面台でしました。あったらより良かったなぐらいです!

Bon emplacement mais chambre décevante
Pros:

L'emplacement est très avantageux, à 2 pas de DDP, Myeongdong et Seoul Station.

Cons:

La chambre ne correspondait pas vraiment aux photos. Mobilier vielli, abimé, chambre petite, traces d'humidité sur les murs

Avoid
Pros:

Location was the only positive.

Cons:

Showers that soak your entire bathroom because they aim the wrong way. The rude staff.

Not worth the hassle. Disappointed.
Pros:

Location by DDP is very convenient. Nice coffee and restaurants in the area.

Cons:

I booked Thurs/Fri and Sun nights, so I could sleep in the national park on Sat. The hotel says it has “luggage room” but the room is actually the lobby. Receptionist was incredibly rude and shouting when I flagged this was an issue. Paid 50% of my booking cost to store my bag securely in a locker.

Hairdryer was an electrical fire hazard. Doors to rooms do not fit correctly. Room needed some TLC. Very dirty windows. Always smells of smoke.
