"エアプサンで仁川に22:30着のフライトだったので、一泊だけこちらにお世話になりました。 そしたら、思いの外快適でした。チェックアウト時に、少し質問があり、クリーニングされてる女性と若い男性にお話したのですが、対応がすごく良くびっくりしました! そのあと近くのRYSEホテルに泊まりましたが、そちらの方が対応も悪く、ずっとONGI HOTELにすれば良かったと思うほどでした。 次の韓国滞在の時はまた行きます!! ちなみに、場所も便利!駅の出口からすぐで、電車移動が快適でした! お世話になりました!"

"This place is a scam. Check-in is from 10pm - yes, you read that right, and it’s not a typo! When I arrived at 5:30pm after a day of traveling, I was told that it would cost an additional 75,000 KRW to check in “early”. It’s outrageous. Stay somewhere else."
