Pros:

It was perfect for me but I was alone. For two people the room would have been a little small esp. if you have big luggage.
There were signs in the elevator that the staff only had limited English skills but they were good enough to get along.
The subway was only 5min. away. Bus stops were in front of the hotel.
There were many shops and restaurant around because its an university area. But not so many english signs like other more touristic areas. I liked the local feeling.

Pros:

The location was very close to the bus pickup and it is located in a nice area. They provided free cold water bottles and the staff was exceptionally welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

I would have appreciated an area to lay my luggage out, and I did struggle with the lighting for the bathroom shower. I also was not exceptionally excited about having the glass window looking in from the bed area into the shower.

Pros:

＊交通：誠信女大站出口走過來大約5分鐘/同一條馬路上可以坐(仁川)機場巴士6011，距離住宿點只要過馬路(3分鐘)，拉行李箱過馬路就好，去回程都是坐機場巴士，搭乘大眾交通但不想坐地鐵，覺得這點蠻方便的。
＊只有入住一個晚上，但熱水、冷氣等使用下來都正常，房間裡整體設備感覺算新，遇到的人員也很親切，入住前、退房後都可以寄放行李。
補充：附近有小商圈，周遭步行五分鐘內有很多餐廳咖啡廳、速食店麵包店等，也有便利商店～整體來說很滿意！以後有需要會再次選擇入住～
