### Accommodation Reviews**advantage**:- The price is cheap, only NT$2,600 per night/double room.**shortcoming**:- There is no elevator. We live on the 3rd floor and need to carry our luggage upstairs.- Far away from MRT exit.- There is no dry and wet separation in the bathroom, the angle of the shower head cannot be adjusted, water sprays directly onto the wall, and the bath towels get wet easily.- The sound insulation is very poor. The room door is as thin as a bedroom door at home. You can clearly hear the voices next door and the sound of opening and closing the toilet door.- If you don’t see any staff, you need to contact the person in charge, Sunny, after arriving. After checking the information, you will get the room number and password. There is no one to manage the check-out.Hopefully these details will help give you an idea of what this property is like.

The location is good. It's at the entrance to Hongik University, so you can see the streets on foot. The facilities are a little old, but the bedding is clean. It's expensive for the price. No discount code. …

Stayed on 11/8 for a total of four nights at a cost of nearly 7,000 yuan. The CP value is very high, the room is very clean, and there is no bed bug problem mentioned on the Internet. You can hear sounds from outside the corridor in the room, but I think it is within an acceptable range. There is a sign to choose whether you want to ask someone to clean the room and change the garbage bags. Two small towels were given to the two people who checked in, although no large towels were provided. , but the small towels you can reuse yourself are sufficient, and the towels can be changed every day. The overall stay is good. I will stay again next time I come to Korea.
