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.

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.

The hotel is located right next to the train station which is exist no. 4 and close to the convenience store. The room is very big and very comfortable. However, the staffs cant speak English and not very helpful and not that friendly. The location of the hotel is kinda far from the center. Further than I thought. Just because there are not many stops from the centers, doesnt mean that it will be closed to the center. Anyways, its a perfect place for a family because it can 3 people in the rooms with 2 beds. Also a good place for couple because the shower is see through.

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~~

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
