Great place to stay at plenty of stores, places to eat, and easy access to subway, and surrounding areas. Place is small but enough for 1 or 2 people. Staff is super friendly and quick to react when you need your room cleaned or need towels. Overall, one of the better places to stay at, and I’ve been at several hotels in Seoul.

正直言って日本のラブホテルと変わらないですが、お風呂との仕切りがなく、湿気がすごいのと、トイレにシャワーがあるので、ビショビショのまま床が滑ります

飯店週邊有很多吃的&買的店家,算在鬧區中的飯店,櫃檯服務很~~~親切,24小時都可以check in,離地鐵站也很近,附近也有6002到機場的大巴,只是行經飯店會遇到斜坡,飯店沒那麼新,但很乾淨。

The hotel location is convenient. But other than this, the room is dusty, cleaning service is not done at all, furniture is broken and old, bed sheet is not clean, and the worst condition is the smoke smell is full of the room while it’s emphasized it should be a smoke free room. The smoke might come from outside or other rooms due to the poor window condition. The second hand smoke was outrageous and so bothering!! Have been reported to the staffs, but they couldn’t do anything helpful. Will never go again!!! I’m still suffering from the smoke as I traveled back to home!!

다시는 안 갈래요.
체크인하고 방에 들어서자마자 담배냄새가 지독함. 신촌과 가깝다는 것, 상대적으로 프론트 직원이 친절하다는 것 빼곤 뭐 하나 좋은 것이 없음. 가격 또한 너무나 비쌌음.
