Property was very outdated. Escalator was sketchy and old. Bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. We didn’t feel safe so we moved hotels after the first day. I don’t recommend this place especially with family. Thankfully staff understood and allowed refund.

シャワーとカランの切り替えのツマミが動かず、初日はシャワーが使えませんでした。テレビの見方も分からなかったのでスタッフの方に伝えると、英語はまったく聞こうとせず、かなりイライラした様子で対応されました。1人での宿泊だったのでかなり怖かったです。ベッドもかなり硬かったのもあり、滞在中はほぼ眠れませんでした。寝具以外はかなり古さの目立つホテルでした。

金額相応だと思います

位置的なところと値段で決めました。20年前の韓国を思い出すサービスです。慣れていれば、こんなものかなと受け入れられますが、快適に過ごしたいのであれば他のホテルも参照されたほうがいいでしょう。。 時期的にエアコンは操作できないと言われ、ホテル側で温度設定するとのこと。初日やや寒いと訴えたら自分の部屋だけオンドルを入れてくれました。 テレビの接続不良が何度もあり、それがやや不便でした。

ダブルベット➕シングルベットのツインルームを2名で宿泊。 料金を考えたらコストパフォーマンス的にはいいかと思います。 隅々までキレイではありませんでしたが、ベット、テーブルはきれい。コンセントもたくさんありました。ユニットバスで、シャワーカーテンはなしでしたが広いです。水圧はGood！ バスタオル、タオルあり。備え付けのシャンプーなどあり。歯ブラシは1階自販機で購入しないとありません。 ルームキーは1つしかもらえませんでした。 安く泊まりたい人には悪くないのでは？女性1人はちょっと怖いけど。
