Дуже хороший готель, чудове співвідношення ціни та якості. Є все необхідне, для комфортного проживання
Pros:

Хороше місце розташування, всього за 30 хв у доступі до Намсан і Королівського палацу. Сама кімната невелика, але є все необхідне. Зручне ліжко. Рум сервіс дуже турботливий

Cons:

Знак евакуаційного виходу занадто яскраво світить, що коли вимикаєш світло повністю, він заважає трохи заснути. А також відсутність шторки в душі, це прямо супер не комфортно, тому що вода по всій кімнаті

Pros:

The location was very convenient, with a bus stop right in front of the hotel. The room was clean, and two bottles of water were provided daily.
I couldn't find a safe in the room, but it wasn't a problem for me. Check-in was easy and convenient, with the option to use either the kiosk or the front desk.

Cons:

I accidentally made separate reservations for two nights, but the hotel had confirmed that I could stay in the same room.
At check-in, however, the staff told me they were unaware of this and that I would need to check out and check in again the next day. While I understand the booking mistake was mine, I was disappointed by the unfriendly attitude.

Odotukset ylittävä hotelli!
Pros:

Joka päivä ilmaiset pullot vettä. Vaikka ei pyytäisi siivousta, saa silti myös puhtaat pyyhkeet oven taakse päivittäin. Huone oli siisti ja hinta-laatusuhde kohdillaan! Sijainti myös kätevästi useampaan metrolinjaan nähden!

Cons:

Ei mitään moittimista!

Pros:

청결했어요

Cons:

두사람이 자기에는 침대가 좁아요. 방도 좁아요.
후기에 직윈분 친절하다고 쓰여있었는데, 우리는 밤늦은시간이어서 그랬는지 카운터 직원분 친절하지 않았어요.

It was great place to stay with great value for my money.
Pros:

Very clean and well maintained. Close to convenience stores, lots of restaurants near by. Bus station & subway stations were a couple minutes walk. I also appreciated the staff freshening up the room daily. Thank you.

Cons:

Just more clarity on the 2 entrances so I didn’t have to walk the longer way the first couple days from the subway station. Everything else was perfect.
