荷物があるときには２番出口を1番近いのは３番出口

入口はカラオケと書いてあるのでわかりずらかったのですが、えきの出口が近くにあり便利でした。お部屋も思ったより広くて一人では十分でした。お風呂はなくシャワーです。

전체적으로 좋았습니다.

직원 분들도 친절하고 매우 청결 했습니다. 주변에 편의점, 카페, 올리브영, 약국 등이 있어서 편리 했고 답십리역 3,4번 출구와 바로 옆에 있어서 무거운 짐 들고 오기에도 정말 좋았습니다. 다만 한 가지 아쉬운 건 화장실 환풍기로 다른 방의 담배 연기가 자꾸 들어와서 비흡연자인 저로서는 정말 너무나 힘든 1박이었습니다. 화장실 문과 중문을 다 닫아놔도 머리카락이며 입고 있던 옷에까지 담배 냄새가 날 정도로 담배 냄새가 들어오고, 화장실 문을 열면 담배 냄새로 자욱 해서 정말 힘들었습니다. 비흡연 객실과 흡연 객실을 구분해서 비흡연자 고객들에게 조금 더 쾌적한 환경이 조성 되었으면 좋겠습니다.

Fine, but not worth the money

I paid for a room with a bathtub, but they placed me in a room without one. When I went to the front desk to tell them, they didn’t apologize and just yelled “Key!” And put a new keycard on the counter. The room had no remote for the air-con or heat control so even though it was 65 degrees Fahrenheit outside, the heat was on full blast with no working air conditioner to use to cool the room down.

Hi, me and my husband a foreigner who needs accommodation nearby my nephew's apartment. My nephew recommended this hotel because the location is also close to public transportation (Dapsimni subway station directly goes down with stairs, less effort. And Dapsimni Bus Stop with a lot of bus routes.) Although the staff can't speak English, my nephew help to communicate with them for check in, check out or asking for glass and water. No problem. Overall, we enjoyed stay here. Thank for all the things~~

Not a good experience 😕

First off, when I arrived, no one spoke English even though their website stated otherwise. Also, I had to move my luggage three times because each of the rooms smelled. Upon entry of the third room, I just decided to stick it out and get some rest. I completed my stay, checked out and moved to a cleaner hotel. This was not a good experience at all. I understand building are old. But, remodel them and update them so that it doesn’t smell like mold and mildew. Wasn't impressed at all.

予約時は記載がなく分からないのですが、全室喫煙です。禁煙部屋をお願いしたところ、禁煙部屋はないので、なるべく匂わない部屋を用意してくださるとのことで、確かにタバコ臭さがほぼない部屋でした。その点はありがたかったです。 最寄駅から近いため、女性の一人旅に選ばれる可能性が高いと思うので、以下参考にされてください。 シャワーの温水などは十分出てきますが、施設が古いのもあり、部屋に清潔感はありません。 元々モーテル（ラブホ）だったようです。仕事で長期滞在だったのですが、午後の時間帯になると決まって明らかな喘ぎ声が聞こえてきます。（ほぼ毎日） 滞在中ダニに腕を何か所も噛まれてしまい、部屋を変えてもらえるか尋ねたところ別の階の部屋に快く変えてくださりありがたかったのですが、部屋自体がタバコ臭い上に、空調からずっとタバコの臭いが入ってきて、持参した強力なリセッシュでも太刀打ちできませんでした。 ここでも午後の時間は喘ぎ声。 とても気持ち悪かったです。 変えてもらった部屋は壁がさらに薄く、最初の部屋ではお隣りのいびき、変えてもらった部屋では午後は喘ぎ声、夜は普通に話している声が筒抜けという状況でした。

The hygiene in the washroom was lacking but apart from that everything else was great, 24hour laundry was right round the corner, and staff tried to help with other little things. The area has a metro right in front of it
