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。

酒店位置十分便利,來往機場到酒店、以至到旅遊旺點‘明洞’,‘仁寺洞’ 等地方都十分方便... 適合仲意慢遊韓國的你! 酒店整體舒適, 房間隔音良好, 容易入睡! 唯獨週末附近開業食肆不多, 要步行到明洞附近用餐。
