I was in Korea on business and ended up staying a few extra days. A friend recommended this place, so I decided to check it out. It’s a pretty new place, and everything was clean and in great shape. I liked the way they designed the rooms. You can tell they put some thought into the details. They even had a map of Seoul on the wall, which was actually pretty useful since I wasn’t all that familiar with the area. One thing worth mentioning is the bathroom. It’s right across from the room rather than inside it, which was a little unusual to me. But it’s your own private bathroom, not a shared one, so it really wasn’t an issue. The place is mostly self-check-in, as far as I could tell. I had a couple of questions during my stay, and the staff got back to me right away. That was nice, especially since there’s no traditional front desk. I also spent some time walking around one of the local markets nearby. Lots of interesting things to see, and I’m glad I went. Overall, I had a good stay. It was nice getting to explore a part of Seoul I probably wouldn’t have visited otherwise. I’d stay here again if I find myself back in town.

非常喜歡!很適合跟朋友、家人一起~兩間淋浴間太棒了,房間非常乾淨,設施也都很ok,真要提供調整的意見應該會是蓮蓬頭的水壓有點小,水溫有一點點的不穩,沒有大毛巾,但都不太影響!公共設施的飲水機非常讚~床很好睡很重要!!!下次來首爾還會來的!!!!

這次住了3晚,房源位於大樓內的2F(兩間客房)、3F(小型公用餐桌跟茶水間+一間客房),房間乾淨整潔富有設計感,是自助入住的方式,可以輕鬆入住,不會有接待人員跟櫃檯,有疑問的話,服務人員會在線上協助回覆,但相對來說較難幫忙處理突發狀況 一樓旁邊有咖啡店,附近也有便利商店,地點不在熱鬧的逛街區域,但地鐵站就在旁邊很方便,這次入住2F房間,窗戶隔音效果不太好,窗外是主要幹道的大馬路,車流聲噪音會不斷傳進房間內造成共振,儘管房間內有附上耳塞,晚上睡覺時帶上耳塞還可以入睡,白天待在房間會有明顯的車流聲,對聲音敏感的旅客請三思 房內沒有熱水壺,使用熱開水或飲用水要到三樓共用茶水間,稍嫌不方便 整體而言,以價格來說對於房間品質還是不錯的
