Comfortable stay near Dongmyo Station
Pros:

Spacious, air-conditioned room with comfortable beds. It's well located, with Dongmyo Station (subway lines 1 and 6) just a 5-minute walk away. Amenities were available close to the entrance. The staff were polite and efficient.

Cons:

The room was a bit worn, such as the floor that was crumbling in a few spots. But that was no deal-breaker, for the location and overall comfort of the room.

還是可以接受的，可以打掃也可以不打掃，掛個牌子就行，行李箱無啦
Pros:

仁川機場搭機場巴士6002在清涼里下車，很快就可以走到，巴士最晚有到23點多，但是要排隊上車，不保證有位置，搭地鐵到東廟站也能到，就在東大門附近而已！

Cons:

不知道是超過12點還是凌晨1點後櫃檯是沒有人的，可能要先聯繫好，外面有自助報到機，我們到的時候半夜12點多，櫃檯還有人，所以滿順利。
我們選最便宜的房間，一人一個晚上好像1300多，但是真的好小，而且浴室的漱口杯裡面竟然全都是毛，要站在浴缸裡面洗澡，洗澡水溫度不是很好調整，我一下太冷一下太燙，不過我老公沒這個問題，他說他不會忽冷忽熱….但水壓很大
浴室地板沖水時感覺也有黑黑的被沖出來，不知道為什麼，但是如果問我會不會再住，我覺得是可以的考慮的，選大間一點，但我可能會優先看看有沒有更適合的！
