地點便利,附近很多餐廳,但是環境整潔需要再加強,白色的床包下面看到有長頭髮沒清乾淨,而且不止一根,毛巾打開使用也發現長頭髮,基本的整潔還需要再加強

乾淨且靠近東大門市場
Pros:

1從機場坐巴士過來的話,下車之後過馬路走一下下就到,對於往返機場的需求來說非常方便。
2選擇入住這邊是因為價格實惠,也接近東大門批發商圈,有公車往返。若時間晚了,改搭計程車往返也算是便宜。

Cons:

1辦理入住的體驗不太好,前一組客人是歐美人士,接在之後的我們,可以明顯感受到櫃檯人員在態度上有明顯差別。
2旅館周邊晚上不太熱鬧,附近有市場,但只在白天營業,適合早睡早起的旅人體驗當地生活。

Pros:

地點位置優!
地鐵在附近,公車站與6002機場巴士在對面而已,非常方便!
附近很多商業餐點CP值高
房間隔音不錯
可以到櫃檯借轉接頭(免費)
房間不算大,一次只能開一個大行李箱,但並不影響行動
早上會主動整理房間垃圾與換毛巾!如果不想讓房務進房整理可以在門上放請勿打擾,不過還是很貼心的會放乾淨毛巾與2瓶水在門口👍
浴室的門會有點透明,太靠近門還是能看到形體喔!非夫妻與情侶要注意😆
門口有個全身鏡這點超棒👍

Cons:

吹風機是要一直按住的那種,比較麻煩😅但風量是滿大的很快乾,就是要吹整的時候我的手會不協調,這可能是我個人的問題🤣
