Pros:

- Nice interior
- Clean
- Good amenities: bath tub with a nice pouch full of lotions and bath salts and all that

Cons:

- The display to control the room lighting turned itself on automatically which was annoying especially during the night because it has brightness of thousand suns… so I had to put a chair and a towel over it so that I can actually sleep. Quite annoying

整体不错，地理位置相对优越，酒店房间宽敞舒适。
Pros:

地理位置还是很满意的，对面就有机场大巴，走5分钟到路口就有地铁。旁边就有各种餐厅、便利店、olive young。如果可以，走十几分钟甚至能到明洞。员工服务也到位，而且是我这次行程里唯一一家提供全套洗漱用品的酒店。

Cons:

虽然叫artist酒店，房间设计并没有让人特别惊喜的地方，中规中矩，性价比相对一般。

Rapport qualité prix moyen
Pros:

La taille de la chambre ( par rapport à celles en Europe en tout cas )

Cons:

Assez excentré même si bien desservi ( bus limousine en face, métro à 3 min et plein de bus en face aussi )

Pros:

Belle chambre originale, même si je ne pense pas que la baignoire ouverte sur la chambre soit un bon design. Belle vue et quartier animé agréable.

Nice place to stay but don’t expect anything beyond a nice room to sleep in.
Pros:

Great location and big rooms for a hotel room in asia

Cons:

Compared to other hotels we stayed at on our trip to Korea the front desk was far less helpful, and in general they were not very helpful. For the price point it was disappointing that breakfast was not included.
