I found the hotel to be in a convenient location near the metro loop line number 2, which was great for exploring the city. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the lack of windows made it feel a bit enclosed. The service was mixed, with some staff being really nice and warm, while others seemed inexperienced and confused. The dining options were below basic standards, offering just a simple breakfast to start the day with no variety. However, the hotel was close to various amenities like cafes, shopping malls, and karaoke venues. The price was reasonable but could have included better dining options and improved service.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small but well decorated and clean with a small hallway leading to a bathroom and the bedroom, although it was too hot and noisy with the window open. The service was a bit hit or miss with some staff being very nice while others seemed inexperienced. The location, however, was fantastic, close to Sinchon station and surrounded by various 24-hour entertainment options. The dining options were a bit lacking but indulgent pastries were enjoyable.

The hotel is conveniently located near Sinchon station, making it a good choice for easy access to shops and restaurants, although the area may not be the most peaceful. The rooms, although not exactly as pictured, are adequate and clean, but on the smaller side. The service, mainly provided by Chinese staff, is a bit hit or miss, with some language barriers and inconsistent levels of helpfulness. The dining options are limited and not impressive, leading to a less than satisfying meal experience. However, the facilities are decent overall.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but it was a bit warm due to the floor heating, and unfortunately, there were no windows. The complimentary breakfast provided had limited choices, mainly consisting of bread, spreads, boiled eggs, hot drinks, and some fruit. When I opened the window for some fresh air, the room became too hot and noisy.

The hotel is conveniently located near Sinchon station, making it easy to access cafes, shopping malls, and 24-hour entertainment options. The rooms are decent, although not very soundproof, and the breakfast offerings are basic but sufficient. The service is a mix, with fluent Mandarin-speaking staff but lacking in attentiveness and friendliness. Overall, a good location for exploring the city but with room for improvement in service.
