The staff were amazing and super nice. The room was great, and while it wasn’t located exactly in the middle of one thing in particular, it was super nearby a ton of different great locations which was awesome! Would highly recommend.

6/10 Good

Good central location, but was not informed of the hotel name change and address -- causing major inconvenience of time in finding the place and cost of taxi transportation. Some hotel amenities were of poor quality. And, room was too small. On the positive, two ladies of the hotel front staff were good/helpful.

予約の決め手は、子ども達憧れの２段ベッドがあったことと、お部屋にレッグマッサージがあったこと、シャワールームがトイレと仕切られていたことでした。セキュリティや騒音の面でも問題ありませんでしたし、フロントで両替(レートは普通)も出来たことも便利でした。２つの地下鉄駅に近く、荷物を置きに戻れました。コンビニも近く、立地は最高です。そして何よりスタッフの方達の笑顔や丁寧さが最高！また必ず利用します！

酒店新淨2人房及3人房住宿環境可以, 房間可以開窗, 行李箱有足夠空間打開, 電視有多個頻道, 但洗手盤的水容易溢出, 要用毛巾吸水, 大堂空間夠大, 職員都十分友善, 唯酒店位置較入, 但離地鐵站約3分鐘路程, 酒店出門口轉左有條小巷, 有很多烤肉選擇.

11 days stay -27 Nov to 8 Dec.

Front desk reception had a stun face, dont feel welcome on my first day, even on my check out day. The house keeping opened/shut the doors and it was very obvious that they were doing their job. Knew that on our days we wanted to sleep in late but 9am is the max you will be able to tolerate with all the banging and loud talking. Bed sheets were not changed thru out the 11 days we stayed. If you are opting long stay, they only provided you with their so call special treatment ie a banana and apple on first day. Only one small tube of shower gel, lotion, shampoo and conditioner were given each day miserably. Place is near Myeongdong eating street. Drinking/restaurants are nearby proximity. Can be quite noisy late night. We stayed on 7th floor. Room was quite dusty and we kept sneezing each time we make our bed. From Euljuki (1) subway, take exit 1.

整體不錯的酒店

酒店位置比較隱蔽, 在路口問路, 也難發現。首爾地鐵2號線, 乙支路入口站站, 1-1出路, 是最近酒店, 出口在KEB大廈旁, 望到FASTFIVE大廈, 這後面便是第一酒店。酒店設施整體不錯, 但房間中央的大柱比較礙眼, 服務員說雙人房的間格都是這樣子。酒店週邊有很多食店, 營業至深夜。從酒店往明洞及南大門十分近。

Convenient, cozy and clean :) there are water dispensers on every floor which is really good and free flow of bottled water at the lobby (though it was always out of stock). The area is a comfortable walking distance to Euljiro 1-ga subway and myeongdong. The area is filled with supper places so no shortage of local joints for food (and 3 convenience stores) though the area outside the hotel may get a little noisy as there are drunk groups after dinner. We had a problem with our hot water pressure and it wasn't fixed for 2 nights (really annoying) and even though the technician was really nice and apologetic and tried his best to help us - was perplexed why they didn't bother fixing it in the day when we informed them. The hotel can also order take away Nene fried chicken for a small fee and that was a really nice touch! All in all, had a good stay.

4인 필터로 검색해서 뜨는 방을 예약했음. 당연히 4인이 잘 수 있을만한 공간이 준비되어있는 줄 알았는데 싱글 침대 1개, 퀸사이즈 침대 1개였음. 물론 요청사항(예약 시 조그맣게 한 줄만 써져있음, 클릭 해야 펼쳐짐)에 쓸 수 있고, 기본사항에 침대 사이즈가 나타나 있기는 함. 그런데 4인실을 예약했는데 당연히 4인이 누울만한 공간이 구비되어야 하는거아님? 한명은 쇼파에서 자란 말인가. 그 외 어메니티, 청결상태, 위치는 좋고 방 내부도 좁지 않음.

スタッフさんは主に韓国語でしたが、とても親切に対応してくださいました。早朝の出発だったので、タクシーを５時半に呼んでくれたり、はぶらしや、割りばしを頼んだら、にこやかにスムーズに対応して下さいました。中心地に近いので、どこに行くにも徒歩圏内で便利です。また使いたいです。
