Cleanliness
9
Multiple reviews explicitly note rooms and public areas are very clean (Korean: '청소가 깔끔', Russian: 'очень чисто').
Service
9.5
Numerous mentions of very helpful, friendly staff with named employees (Sunny, Candy) and praise for attentive, caring service.
Location
9.3
Consistently highlighted as excellent — central, steps from the metro, near the waterfront and shopping; reviewers call it a 'perfect location.'
Room Quality
9
Rooms described as comfortable, spacious with good views and comfortable beds; guests noted twin/double bed setups and satisfaction with room condition.
Amenities
7.2
Good extras reported (free beer/coffee, complimentary water, laundry/dryer, robot delivery), but practical issues (entrance/vehicle parking at main gate) and limited dining space reduce the score.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed signals: one reviewer explicitly cites 'reasonable value for money' and others felt the stay exceeded expectations, so value is positive but not uniformly emphasized.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Breakfast praised as tasty with Asian and European options and a noodle station, but multiple comments note the breakfast/dining area is too small and crowded at peak times.
Overall Experience
9.2
Overall sentiment is highly positive — 'Five star service', 'everything was exceptional', and several guests report no complaints and strong enthusiasm for their stay.

Хороший отель, оправдал ожидания.
Pros:

Удобное расположение, станция метро в нескольких метрах от отеля, в шаговой доступности набережная, крупный супермаркет. В отеле на ресепшн можно было пить бесплатно пиво, кофе, местные чаи. Хороший завтрак, есть из чего выбрать. Персонал не навязчив, помогли вызвать такси до вокзала рано утром, предоставили простенький ланчбокс в связи с ранним выездом.

Cons:

Такого нет.
