セキュリティが不安

3階の通路の一角が受付エリア。３時には不在になりました。LINEで質問すれば直ぐ返事がありました。 予約サイトにボトルウォーターサービス有りとありますが部屋にありません。4階の通路に浄水器があります。 良い点 地下鉄から上がって３分 部屋が綺麗で広さは十分 トイレとシャワーは区切りがないが広さがある。 冷蔵庫、湯沸しポット、ハンガー、タオル2枚、ミニキッチンのシンクあり 悪い点 部屋にコップがない セキュリティは個人的に非常に不安 受付にその日チェックインする人の名前が書かれた紙が二つ折で貼られていて、そこに部屋番号と部屋の暗証キーコードが書かれています。見ようと思えば誰でもみれます。ドアの内側に鍵がないためとても不安でした。 値段と場所や部屋の広さと綺麗さは申し分ないのでセキュリティを気にしない人にはとてもいいと思います。 せめてドアの内鍵があれば再訪ありかもしれませんが…

그동안 이용한 모든 방 중 최악입니다.

방에서 퀘퀘한 냄새가 나고 베게에는 얼룩이 환기는 전혀 안시키며 수건은 대충씻어 실내에서 대충말린티가 나서 냄새납니다. 기차역 앞 허름한 여관에서나 날 법한 냄새가 나고 친구는 피부가 민감한편인데 잠시 침대에 누웠다 나오는 것만으로 피부에 트러블이 생기더군요. 그냥 돈 날리는 셈 치고 체크아웃한다고 전화하니 사장인지 매니저인지는 제가 어느지점(2개지점중)에 예약된지도 모르고 방에 대한 냄새나 수건 베게얼룩등에 대한 클레임은 처음듣는다고 하는데 호텔스닷컴의 평가중에도 있는 내용입니다. 직원이 항시 있는게 아니라 거의없다고 보는게 맞으며 체크인은 무인체크인입니다. 그냥 이틀치 숙박비 날리고 퇴실했네요. 냄새나고 꿉꿉한 방에서 지저분한 베게를 배고 냄새나는 이불을 덥고 대충말씻어말린 수건을 사용해도 괜찮다면 이용하시기바랍니다. 주변지역은 유흥을 즐기기 좋은 지역입니다.

コスパ最高！

ソウル駅から徒歩10分くらいです。コスパは最高です。1階にセブンがあるので便利です。チェックイン前なのに荷物預かってくれてとても助かりました。小タオルだけなので持参したほうがいいかも。歯ブラシもないです。でも、パンとコーヒーが無料で共同キッチンつかえるので、お茶やインスタントラーメンとかもつくれて長期のひとは助かります。洗濯機もありました。オススメです。

Efficient and comfortable

Wonderful little place in middle of Gangnam. Neat and tidy room. Small but everything you need is there. Not facing street so look for sign. Must use elevator and limited check in time but they have a self check in computer set up. Quiet but still in center of Gangnam.

Just roll with the digital era and things work themselves out . Comfortable enough . One gripe : the street noise shouldn't have got though the well insulated windows the way it did . Weird .

커튼이 없는 호텔

객실에 있는 창문에 커튼이 없다. 4층이라서 주변의 보안등 및 상가 불빛이 가려지지 않아서 밤새 훤한 방안에서 낯선 잠을 청해야 했다. 제공된 수건은 빨아도 지워지지 않는 얼룩인지 몰라도 얼룩이 많고 낡아 사용하기 꺼림칙하였다. 개실손님에게 제공되는 소모품은 두루마리 휴지와 비누 한조각이 유일하였다.

セルフチェックインが導入されていて誰もスタッフがいないし宿泊者の名前の書いたメモが貼られてるだけ。とてもわかりにくかつたしルームキーもスマホのアプリを使わないといけないからスマホの電源切れたら部屋に入るのも一苦労しそうですね…これから他でも増えるのかもですが。部屋の設備もボディータオルが二枚と石鹸だけ置かれててバスタオルもティッシュすらないです。ポットやレンジはあるけど皿もコップもないので使いにくい部屋でした。
