Large window to provide good natural light. Close walk to public transportation. Has small kitchen and washer/dryer. Tea kettle with tea and instant coffee. Good sized bathroom. CONS: lamps wouldn’t turn off, so had to unplug them. No laundry soap with washer, so need to bring your own. Also, instructions only in Korean. Instant coffee was horrible. Bathroom door didn't close all the wall. 8.5/10 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandon 9 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great ##### Brandon Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tadas 1 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great first stay! ##### Tadas Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### amy 13 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All good ##### amy Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### amy 21 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I always appreciated the cleanliness, friendliness, and convenient transportation facilities. ##### amy Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Veronica 7 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Exellent, walking distance from everywhere, great night life... ##### Veronica Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lac Huy David 15 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel, clean, close by the train station, so many restaurants and activities til late.
