Air conditioning not cool and remote dont work to fix. Towels smell bad since I guess they have been used alot. Even though they are washed. They are also very small. High humidity in room! Also the beds are very uncomfortable and are covered with plastic wrapping. (Gets very warm during the night) Bathroom covered in water when showering. Be sure to use slippers. On the plus side close to everything. Emart 24/7 just outside and also a nice coffe place called sachawan. For the price its pretty much ehat should be expected. Nice common room with free coffee and laundry for 2000krw. And also one of those electric toilets! Very big plus.

必要最低限。韓国のよくある値段相応のホテルです。年末の寒い時でしたが部屋が寒いとかは無く、床暖房で室内は快適。坂の上にあるのが少し辛いくらいで寝るだけで考えたら近くにemart24もあり不満は無し。

坂道ですが、駅近でコンビニもすぐなので立地良し。チェックイン方法は機械操作だったが、パスワード入力のようなものがあったが誰でもチェックイン出来るようなシステムで少し不安に思いました。壁が薄いので声や音が漏れやすいかも… あと、外はすごく寒いのに部屋は湿気がすごいのかエアコン無しでもとにかく暑い。シャワーの温度調整が難しい、極端に熱いか冷たいかしかならず。共有スペースにコーヒーマシンやウォーターサーバーがあるので、便利でした。部屋に変換器が置いてあり助かりました。

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.
