I stayed in this twin room with my daughter for 3 nights and 4 days.I used this hotel for the first time because I had been interested in the room, the location was good, and the price was low.The staff at the front desk was not friendly and I couldn't hear what they were saying at all.The terms and conditions were long. I was surprised because my credit card was also registered in order to be fined in case something happened.I have used hotels in Korea many times, but this was the first time I had to register my credit card, so I was nervous.Towels were changed. It's nice that you can't change the towels unless you tell the front desk, but most of the time they only change the bath towels.You can't change the face towels and bath mats every time you don't tell them.Shower It is located above the washbasin, making it difficult to wash and the water pressure is weak.I didn't feel like I washed it well.Above all, the most painful thing was that I couldn't use the free WiFi at the hotel or the WiFi I rented in Korea at all in my room, so I won't come back again.

Excellent hotel, we stayed for 10 days in July and everything was very good. The triple room has a private bathroom and has the best location. Don't be guided by the bad comments, the hotel, for what it costs, is the best.

The location is very good in Myeong-dong, close to the subway station, but the bedding and towels were not clean, you couldn't eat or drink in the room, and the communal kitchen had limited hours, which was very inconvenient.Also, when I checked in, I had to read the restrictions, which was quite troublesome.I had high expectations after reading the reviews, but I was even more disappointed.I don't think there will be a next time.
