This property is well located near a station with lines that go to many of the tourist sites. It is not posh, but for the budget traveller the room size is good and it is excellent value for money.

【スタッフ】英語は得意なスタッフと苦手なスタッフがいらっしゃいました。英語が苦手なスタッフも私のおそらく間違ってる韓国語を理解してくださり助かりました。【客室】一見すると綺麗なお部屋ですが収納と壁の間などあまり目につかない場所は長らく清掃されていなさそうです。また、換気用の窓の網戸はかなり汚れていました。【位置】ソウルメトロのBulgwang駅3番出口のすぐ近くです。また、近くには24時間営業のコンビニもあります。

Ich war mit einer Freundin dort, das erste was sofort aufegfallen ist, das die Steckdose beim Waschbecken im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes lose aus der Wand hing und das im.Bad die Abdichtungen vom Schimmel befallen sind und die Battür hat unten am Boden schon mega die Rostspuren gezogen. Empfelenswer ist es sich ein Insektenspray zu besorgen da viele Moskitos vorhanden sind. Personal konnte leider kaum Englisch aber da wir die meiste Zeit unterwegs waren ist es dafür schon ok.

만족스러운 숙소

불광동 지역 최고의 숙박!!! 프론트도 친절하고 불광동지역에서 누구나 찾을 수 있는 랜드마크적인 호텔. 주위에 식당들도 많이 있고 스타벅스 및 편의점이 많음. 객실내부의 시설도 평균이상임. 다만 객실의 인테리어가 호텔이라기 보다는 모텔과 같은 느낌이 있음. 너무 많은 거울이 있어 잠을 자면서 나를 보는 것 같음 ㅎㅎㅎ

숙소가 춥습니다. 특히 화장실 변기 있는곳은 매우 추워서 볼일보기 힘든정도임. 욕실도 추운데.. 뜨거운물이 잘 안나와서 빠른 시간내에 샤워만 함. 침실도 좀 추웠으나, 침대와 이불이 깨끗해서 다행.. 방음 잘안됨 잘려고 누웠는데.. 옆방 욕실에서 물트는 소리 시끄러워서 자는데 매우 방해됨ㅠㅠ 참고로.. 추워서 욕실에 몸을 담그지는 못했으나.. 욕실에 욕조가 반신욕조여서 전신담그기도 어려운점은 참고해야 할 듯.
