明洞駅から近く、ホテルの近くにコンビニもあります ホテルはこぢんまりで2泊3日で一度もスタッフに会いませんでした 荷物もフロントの横に勝手に置いていくスタイルで、カメラで監視してます〜みたいな感じでしたが本当に大丈夫かな？とは思いました チェックインも機械でセルフ EVはなく荷物持って階段です 部屋はまあ価格からしたら必要充分 狭いと言えば狭いけど 韓国あるあるでシャワーカーテンや仕切りはなくシャワーの時周りも濡れます 浴室用スリッパ、部屋用スリッパあります お湯の水圧は弱めですがシャワーとしてはまあ大丈夫なくらい ドライヤーは風圧あって優秀 充電用コンセントがありましたか使えないやつもあり、確認が必要でした オンドルのせいか部屋がとにかくあったかい というか暑い シャワー後とか暑くて大変 窓も開かないし冷房？って思いました (窓はありますが塞がれてました) 明洞駅から少し入ったところなせいかとても静かでした 使いませんでしたが3階に共同スペースがあり 洗濯機や電子レンジがありました 長期滞在なら便利そうです タオルは玄関横に補充分と、使用後のものを入れるところがありました またソウルに行くことがあればリピートありな気がしました

Ik was tevreden met de accomodatie. Het was zeer proper. Het bed lag lekker en het was lekker donker in de kamer. Het enige nadeel was dat mijn kamer op de 3e verdieping was (zonder lift) verstopt naast het rookkot op de gemeenschappelijke verdieping. De locatie was ook perfect. Dichtbij alles.
