Amazing stay at this hotel
Pros:

Amazing room with an automatic smooth checkin. The room is provided with everything you will need: complimentary toiletries, water, slippers, coffee/tea with Kettle...The shampoo and conditioner are from a good quality brand.

The room was super clean and just 5min from the metro station. Although the room is small but it was incredibly comfy with heating and AC.

Cons:

Nothing, thank you a lot!

Pros:

地點很方便～仁川機場二航搭乘6002機場巴士可以直達飯店門口，飯店內也有電梯，不必搬行李！
晚入住也有自助設備可以自行辦理入住，很方便好操作！
房間整體很乾淨，也很明亮～電視很大台🤣

Cons:

隔音有一點不太好，晚上睡覺會聽到有人在說話的聲音，建議房間內鎖可以裝防盜的鏈條或是其他設備，會讓旅客使用的比較安心！

Pros:

有備品擺在一樓可依需要自行拿取，很讚！
這次去韓國零下，雖然房間有暖氣教學，但還是不太會設定，隔天打掃房間的工作人員有幫忙調整，一回去不僅身體溫暖心裡也暖暖的😌也有更換毛巾，補水，非常感謝

Cons:

浴室門為玻璃門，朋友的話可能會小尷尬要迴避，另因為浴室沒有浴簾只有玻璃窗隔，洗澡時一定會潑出浴缸，沒有多餘的空間可擺放髒衣及換洗衣物，放在馬桶上有很大機率會淋濕，是比較可惜的地方
