주차시설이 협소

바닥 카펫에 큰 오염이 있었고 주차 시설이 매우 협소함. 친환경이라는 이유로 칫솔이나 머리빗 등의 편의물픔이 없었음. 그 이외에는 큰 불만 없음.

Great location and rooftop!

Overall, nice place for the price. The room is comfortable but there were unsightly stains on the sofa and the floor near the bed. The rooftop area is very nice as well as the lobby, which has a 24 hour 7-11. Great location for visiting Jinju Fortress and the Namgang River!

The building is as advertised - appropriate tourist class hotel with the added benefit of a mini-kitchen with burner and small fridge and extra sink and good storage. Here's the great things: Perfect location for the lantern festival, which was the purpose of our tourist visit. Even better is the amazing front desk staff, with patience, creativity and excellent English. I screwed up my train tickets from Jinju to Seoul. Long story short, Jin Hyeon Seung and Kim Chae Yeon went far "above and beyond" in getting us (on a flight) to Seoul and saving our touring day in Seoul. I'd hire them in an instant.

1층에 편의점이 있어서 편리했고 방은 상당히 깨끗하고 조용했습니다. 욕실,침구류 상태도 매우 좋았습니다. 주차장은 무료였는데 진입로가 협소해서 좀 힘들었습니다. 프런트 직원도 친절하고 걸어서 5분 거리에 큰 시장이 있었는데 아침 산책겸 구경하는 것도 의외로 재미있었습니다.

This hotel is AMAZING! Great location close to the bus terminal, the river and tourist sites. The staff are super friendly and it loads of us. The pictures don’t show how nice the rooms are at this hotel. Also they have a roof top balcony which was amazing to watch the sunset over Jirisan.

Stellar hotel in the heart of Jinju!

The check-in staff was fast, easy and friendly. They were very accommodating throughout our stay. The hotel rooms are modern, comfortable (with exceptional beds) and very nice bathrooms. Only issue with the room is that the carpet needs better vacuuming and a shampooing. The location is unbeatable. Only a few minutes walk from the star attraction - the Jinju castle. The hotel is also near to the traditional market and the shopping district. Downstairs is an Emart with all your needs. Highly recommend this hotel - it was a great stay.
