I had a comfortable stay with my kids for a day. There are many Russian-style stores around, so it has an exotic feel. I didn't have time to use it this time, but the swimming pool looked good too.

The location is very convenient, very close to the airport bus and subway station. The hotel environment is comfortable, the triple room is spacious, and there is a small kitchen available. The toilet is separated from wet and dry! The hair dryer is powerful enough~! The service was very kind and I enjoyed my five-day stay👍🏻👍🏻

A luxury hotel located about a 2-minute walk from Exit 12 of Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station.The hotel is modern and clean.The view is beautiful, there is an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, and there is also a restaurant on the upper floor.Reservations are required for each facility, such as the pool and restaurant, and are made from your room. This time we stayed in a standard room with a queen bed and a size of 22 square meters, which can be reserved by calling the front desk or using the QR code.I made a reservation on Agoda and it cost about 37,300 yen for one night on a weekday without meals.The location is convenient for getting around.I think it's goodthank you

Thank you for staying with us for 2 nights in June 2024. This is a solo stay.It's a large building in a prominent location along Euljiro, right near the DDP station, so you won't have to worry about getting lost. You can access it from the recently opened dundun without having to cross any traffic lights.The room is large enough for one person and has a work desk. The shower booth and toilet were stylish and easy to use.Also, the web application that utilizes the iSTAY platform was outstanding. You can control the air conditioning and lighting, request room service and additional amenities, and make reservations for shared facilities such as the pool, not only from the tablets installed in the room, but also from your own devices via QR codes.Although the room rate increases considerably during the peak season, it is a very comfortable hotel to stay in.
