It is right next to the subway 5 line and on that line it’s easy to connect to all the other lines in the subway system. The Seoul Botanic Garden is an easy walk from the hotel. Plenty of places to eat at because it’s next to a large LG business park.

Decent stay with some extras
PROS: good size room and bed, fairly comfortable bed (might be considered firm by some). Large window to provide good natural light. Close walk to public transportation. Has small kitchen and washer/dryer. Tea kettle with tea and instant coffee. Good sized bathroom. CONS: lamps wouldn’t turn off, so had to unplug them. No laundry soap with washer, so need to bring your own. Also, instructions only in Korean. Instant coffee was horrible. Bathroom door didn't close all the wall. 8.5/10

地下鉄の駅から近くて、道路網も整備されて歩きやすいです。 飲食店が多いので選択肢に困りません。 部屋のオンドルが、じっくり暖かくなるので 寒い時は、オンドルをつける事を忘れずに同時に乾燥しやすい部屋なので自身の保湿管理が必要だと思います。

두번째 묵는데 발산역에서는 최고인듯해요 다만 해바라기 샤워가 수압이 약한데 샤워헤드 걸이가 있었으면해요 프런트데스크 직원들은 아주 친절합니다 체크아웃때 천장페인트중이었는데 여직원이 도와주겠다고 무고운 러기지까지 들어줘서 프로페셔널답고 미안했어요 연박이었는데 청소는 좀 대충 한것같아요 원래도 욕실 약간 곰팡이가 있었는데 계속 물청소까지는 안한것같았으나 또 발산역에 묵게되면 더 퍼스트 스테이에 묵을겁니다
