The location is good and close to Hongjik shopping area. Host Ms Sunny is friendly but not always in the house so self service is a must. Very nice to have power adapter for foreigners. Love the kitchen and utensils available for easy meals. The keylock instruction pictures not exactly match the real one installed, so you need to know how to open the cover before you can key in the pin. Laundry service is available by telling Sunny and there is a charge, which is ok.

It is a little bit loud

It was great to stay. But there was no person at front desk. There are no people to cotrol the sounds. So I will not recommend if u are sensitive at hearing.

The room was bigger than I expected. It’s enough space for 2 people. I checked in via calling the stuff and they tell us the password for the room. The other people do the same, but they just repeat after stuff telling the password so I feel it’s insecure because if there are other people in the reception area, they hear the number.

I asked for the room to be clceaned once and only the trash can was emptied. The toilet was not cleaned and the sheets were not changed. You have to change the towels yourself. My room was right at the entrance, so I could hear everybody coming in and out. Nobody respected the silence sign. One day contruction was done right infront of my room and I was not informed that it was going to happen. Unfortunately not worth it.

Good location. No staff at reception. Warmer was on in the room’s floor but have they forget the customers luggages and goodies they bought are place on the floor and it melted the chocolates and plastic material luggages. Online check in is fast and efficient but if we need to re-print the confirmation flight and seat number for claims is it able to do so? I have tried but unable to retrieve again … if after the confirmation and can email an soft copy with flight and seats confirmation will be great.
