Pros:

I'm a fan of all the Dormy Inn chains and this is no exception. A great no fuss, functional and clean hotel, especially for those spending most of their time exploring the city. Location is great, close to the subway and many many restaurant and eateries. If you have Wow pass, there's even a machine at the hotel for top ups, currency exchange etc.

Цена не соответствует комфорту
Pros:

Приемлема только локация

Cons:

Будьте готовы разместиться в спичечном коробке. Шкафа или вешалки для одежды нет. Все микроскопических размеров. Очень жесткий матрас. Очень неудобный

Leuk als uitvalsbasis om rond te wandelen, maar niet fijn om veel tijd door te brengen.
Pros:

Centraal gelegen met veel winkels en restaurants in de buurt

Cons:

Het is erg klein. Moeilijk om een grote koffer ergens op te klappen. Als je wat groter bent, dan raak je in de douche al gauw de muur of iets anders

Great place to stay, particularly if sightseeing the area by foot.
Pros:

Location was great for walking to sights like the palaces, National Museum, the Stream, shops, Insadong cultural street and more. The room was small but fine for one person, 2 might be a squeeze if lots of luggage. Bathroom was clean, loved using the bathtub after a full day of walking. Breakfast was varied and tasty, from sushi to eggs and sausages and lots of fruit, plus more options. Loved the free icecream in the afternoons when doing my washing, the free ramen at night when I came home a bit later from my sightseeing. Best was the sauna and spa - clean and a nice experience.

Cons:

Nothing I didn't like.
