スタッフは親切な方が多かったです。 アクセスも良く立地的な面では申し分ないと思いますが、道が複雑で2日目までホテルに戻るのに迷ってました。 朝食は初日は美味しく頂きましたが、2日目も同じだったので、飽きてしまいました。 相互的には普通のイメージでした。

オンドルで部屋の中もとても暖かく、厚手のパジャマがいらないくらいでした。シャワーのお湯の出も問題ありませんでした。 明洞、南大門へ買い物に行きましたが徒歩圏内なので大変よかったです。また宿泊したいです!

色々なレビューを見て宿泊を決めました！利用して良かったです！バルコニー付きの部屋で バルコニーでタバコも吸えるし、冬だったから 冷蔵室に入らない物を置いたり 水圧も良くて、コミュニティーもソロっていましたし、大満足です。 南大門は道路を、わたれば直ぐです ホテルの場所はさ迷いましたが、方向音痴の私でもたどり着く事が出来！このホテルは次回も泊まりたい。

コスパ最高でした。

夫婦と中３の娘の３人で１泊しました。 部屋にはダブルベットとシングルベットが各１台ずつ。 シングルベットを移動してダブルベットにひっ付けて、 広々と寝ることができました。 部屋自体も大人３人、十分な広さでした。 グルメ街の立地で、食事にも困らず、東大門も比較的近い ので、短期滞在では文句なしでした！

good value for the price and location

The hotel is good value if you are looking for low-priced accommodation in the centre of Seoul. The price comes with downsides in terms of room size, space for luggage, view from windows (to a wall) etc. The room was overheated for my taste but since the window could not be opened I had to resort to using the aircon to get down to a bearable temperature. Also, bizarrely, neither my phone nor tablet would connect to the wifi. It briefly worked while the nice receptionist was there to check but then cut out again and remained on 'disconnected'.

今回はまあまあ

何度か宿泊していますが、今回は掃除が行き届いてなかったです。　枕をどけるとシーツに何本も髪の毛が落ちてました。 テラスでタバコが吸えるし、駅近で周りに飲食店も多くて選択肢のひとつとしてます。 5階はふた部屋あり、どちらも泊まりましたが、部屋の大きさに差がありますね。 同じ料金なのでしょうか？ だとしたら、改善されるべきかなと思います。

部屋はコンパクトでしたが清潔で快適に過ごせました。 窓は開けられないので、分厚いカーテンが邪魔に感じました。 窓の下にテーブルスペースがありますが、そこがすごく狭いので部屋で飲食する場合は不便です。 冷蔵庫横には姿見があり便利でした。

初めての韓国一人旅でしたが、日本人のスタッフがいて助かりました。荷物を預けようと早めにホテルに行ったら、チェックイン時間よりも早いでしたがキーをいただきました。 部屋は綺麗で、狭いですが1人なので十分でした。USBコンセントが２つ、日本型のコンセントも一つベッド横にあり、スマホ、バッテリー、ポケットwifi充電しながら強めのドライヤーも使えて良かったです。 シャワーの使い方に戸惑いました。 フリーの朝食はシリアルだったので、外に食べに行きました。

Everything is good except for tiny room and poor Housekeeping. Location is great, can walk to Namdaemun market, Myeongdong and Euljiro1-ga. Lots of eateries outside hotel. Do note that hotel is nearest to City Hall stn exit7 but has stairs only. If you have huge luggage, will advise to walk further down to Exit5 escalator and across the road of Exit5 you can find lift. Staffs are friendly however Housekeeping not good. They basically pour away the coffee from room’s cup without washing, the coffee stain so obvious!
