Odotukset ylittävä hotelli!
Pros:

Joka päivä ilmaiset pullot vettä. Vaikka ei pyytäisi siivousta, saa silti myös puhtaat pyyhkeet oven taakse päivittäin. Huone oli siisti ja hinta-laatusuhde kohdillaan! Sijainti myös kätevästi useampaan metrolinjaan nähden!

Cons:

Ei mitään moittimista!

Pros:

청결했어요

Cons:

두사람이 자기에는 침대가 좁아요. 방도 좁아요.
후기에 직윈분 친절하다고 쓰여있었는데, 우리는 밤늦은시간이어서 그랬는지 카운터 직원분 친절하지 않았어요.

It was great place to stay with great value for my money.
Pros:

Very clean and well maintained. Close to convenience stores, lots of restaurants near by. Bus station & subway stations were a couple minutes walk. I also appreciated the staff freshening up the room daily. Thank you.

Cons:

Just more clarity on the 2 entrances so I didn’t have to walk the longer way the first couple days from the subway station. Everything else was perfect.

Метро и автобусная остановка близко, уборка каждый день(литр воды чистые полотенца для тела и рук в обед) быстрый wifi. на ресепшене знают английский, на первом этаже есть кофемашина, весы, микроволновка и мелочи(бумажные полотенца, мыло) в отеле так же был шампунь, кондиционер, гель для душа.

Cons:

Очень мало места для того чтобы поставить чемодан и мусорное ведро было маленькое

Comfortable cozy stay
Pros:

Perfect distance to everything. 20-30 mins bus rides. 2 mins walk from bus stop. Super comfortable bed, pillow and comforter. toilet has a bath tub that i fully utilised. gave us new towels daily. and took out the trash daily. we didnt have a good plug adapter so front desk lent us a couple. i shared the room and bed with a friend and was able to get extra comforter and pillows for only 10,000krw. i enjoyed this location.

Cons:

nothing
