If you are alone or small person, it would be good for you in this room. I am short and i was a little bit scared however, since i tried to be good for owner and workers, they were welcoming and didn't much care about any issues. If you do that, there is no need to worry about many stuffs. And i was able to meet up foreigners as well, No problem. ##### Seung-hun Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jared 18 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very quick and clean snd very spacious.
