地點絕佳，往返機場超級棒，也鄰近弘大站的電梯，不用搬行李走很久。床和棉被枕頭超級好睡，很容易睡到沒有早餐。空間不大但夠用。
Pros:

早餐尚可接受，以房價價位來說不算豐富。屬於小而美、量不多、但是都有。中式、西式，也有提供自煮麵條(兩天分別是烏龍麵和河粉)

Cons:

乾淨的空碗裡面有水，可能接待的客人太多，來不及整理。免治馬桶按鈕按了但是沒反應，懶得再反應。

Great location, comfortable rooms
Pros:

Rooms are spacious and comfortable, they don't skimp on the aircon when it's still in spring. The location is great, you're right at Hongdae with easy access to other lines (especially the Airport line), but it's not smack at the most busy area of Hongdae so you can still avoid the crowds if necessary. Breakfast is always included in the relatively reasonable prices. I also had a really great experience reaching at 11am and being allowed to check in early without any charge. I really appreciated that the staff was so friendly and helpful.

Cons:

All was good, the only slightly troublesome thing is the format of the hotel has the lobby/concierge on the 7th floor, so you have to stop twice on your way out if you need to check in with the counter.
