Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Walls are thin and past midnight lots of loud people in the hallway. Lighting in the hallway is dark as we walk towards our room. There is no shower curtain in the bathroom so water everywhere after use. One elevator is old and just patched with brown paper around it. Lobby is very small. If you want to stay in cheap and convenience around Hongdae then this might be it but I didnt feel safe. The rooms looked like a dorm.

客室がきちんと掃除されてなく、ほこりだらけでした。初日には、夜にトイレのセンサーが故障し、トイレの水が流せなかったです。夜だったのですが、フロントに連絡したところ、修理は夜中にできると、言ってたのに、なおってなく、朝、フロントに連絡したら、これからなおしますと…はぁ、部屋も汚く、トイレも使えない、ちょっとダメですよね。翌日出かけてる間に、トイレは、なおってましたが、清掃もお願いしたのに、髪の毛が落ちてたり、ほこりがまだ残ってたり、汚いままでした。 次回の旅行から、こちらのホテルは、候補から外します。

リーズナブルで部屋もきれいにお掃除してありました。 ただ、外からフロントを通らずに部屋に行けて、廊下も薄暗く見通しも悪いため防犯面では不安でした。 女性ひとり旅にはおすすめできないかもしれません。

地理位置位於弘大一帶，是挺方便的。可是，有些保安隱憂，因為check-in時酒店房門是打開的，但酒店升降機允許任何人都可以隨意到達房間樓層(無須拍房咭)，而且不需經過大堂櫃檯。另外，每天的房間打掃均做得不好，夜晚回到酒店，地板和浴缸的頭髮仍然清晰可見，與沒打掃一樣。

Très bon hôtel

Un séjour très agréable et confortable, la vue était pas ouf mais très bon emplacement (à côté de la station Hapjeong sortie 3, 7-eleven juste à côté, le quartier Hongdae est juste derrière à 10 minutes à pieds). Un accueil convenable, la réception peut appeler un taxi pour vous quand vous partez pour l'aéroport.

Shower door opened straight into the bedroom and would basically hit the bed so water would leak everywhere onto the floor. Sink, toilet, and shower are all in one area so once you shower you would be unable to go back inside to do anything or else your feet would get soaking wet. Absolutely no privacy as the bathroom is barely opaque and almost see through. Room had nowhere to sit and was dirty. Old building with elevator doors that close on you. There was also nowhere to sit/ barely any room to fit more than 2 small suitcases. Would recommend staying somewhere else. Only plus is that it is super close to shops and entertainment.
