3泊しました。 立地はすごく良いです。 広蔵市場はすごく高いですし、ミョンドンまで 歩ける距離です。最寄り駅までも近いです。 近くにCUがあり、小腹が空いた時は寄ってました。 変換プラグが必要かなと思ってましたが、 このホテルは、要らなくて普通にコンセント差し込めます。ちょっとだけ力いりますが。ヘアアイロンを持っていきましたが壊れることなく使えました。 トイレは、トイレットペーパー流せます。 シャワーとトイレが隣同士でどう頑張っても 少しトイレ側に水が飛びます！ 不快な方はサンダルとかあった方がいいかもです。 部屋用のスリッパ、タオルは備え付けです。

駅まで歩いて5分くらいで明洞まで2駅で行ける距離にあり、東大門も歩いて行ける距離だったので便利でした。客室も綺麗で静かだったので家族3人でしたが子供も快適に過ごせました。子供の要望でスタッフの方にテレビの音声を日本語に設定出来ますかとお願いしたら、出来ますよ！とすぐに対応して下さり、テレビは無理でしたがYouTubeは日本語で観ることが出来て子供は喜んでました。親切にありがとうございました。
