Nice location, hotel is clean with good amenities. Love being able to wash & dry clothes. The hotel surroundings are dodgy and no lift to 3rd floor and difficult if have big & heavy luggages. Good to have Hair salon & CU below

Everything is self-service, which is perfect for introverts. There are snacks, a coffee machine, and a water dispenser in the common area, and the rooms are very clean. However, since it's located in Hongda, there are too many couples around. The soundproofing isn't great, “aaaa, sounds” start from 9pm.....Hopefully, the management can address and improve this.

무인 체크인 시스템이라 외국인이나 낯가리는 분들께는 좋을 듯합니다. 2층인데 엘리베이터가 없어서 캐리어 있으면 불편해요. 방은 좁은 편이지만 화장실에서 간이 샤워도 가능합니다. 방음은 거의 안 됩니다. 역어서 걸어갈 수 있는 거리라는 점은 좋습니다. 호텔이라기보다 현대식 여인숙이라고 생각하시는 편이 마음 편할 듯 합니다.
