Pros:

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.

聲音太吵無法接受，廁所臭味太重
Pros:

優點：
離地鐵很近，從東廟站二號出口出來，走路約3-5分鐘而已
附近有餐廳、連鎖咖啡廳、超商都很近
旅館一樓有提供免費美式咖啡、微波爐、冷熱水、一次性用品（牙刷、牙膏、保養品等等）
枕頭算滿澎，床也不會過硬過軟
坐巴士6002可以從機場到住宿門口，回程時也可以坐巴士回機場很方便

Cons:

缺點：
房間空間非常小，放二個行李箱會很擠
洗澡水龍頭溫度很難調，要不很燙，要不很冷
冷氣溫度不夠，睡覺時非常熱
棉被材質很吵，動一下聲音很大
隔音效果很差，住五樓外面車子聲音聽得到，早上7.8點外面就有人在彈樂器，不知道是喇叭還什麼樂器，總之非常吵
我住五樓，每天早上都會聽到樓上或隔壁碰碰聲，而且很大聲
在浴缸裡面洗澡，但因為沒有完全乾濕分離所以洗完地板都超濕
廁所每天都會有一股臭味，有點無法忍受
