The hotel offers spacious rooms that are clean enough but lack privacy due to the open layout. Despite this, the rooms are reasonably priced and decently sized. The service is friendly and accommodating, with quick fixes and helpful suggestions. The location is a major highlight, being near transportation and popular attractions. The dining options include a hot food selection and free Wi-Fi, adding to the convenience. However, the facilities could use some improvement.

The hotel provided a cozy stay with clean rooms albeit small, but the lingering smell of cigarette smoke was a downside. The service was helpful and informative, even though it could have been more engaging. The location was vibrant and safe, surrounded by lively night activities, but being in an alley could be off-putting. The dining experience offered a mix of foods with soft K-pop playing, yet it was average. Overall, the hotel offers value for money with decent facilities.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were quite spacious and modern, equipped with a big jacuzzi, nice shower, a large flat-screen TV, and a PC. However, there was an extra bed taking up unnecessary space in the room. The cleanliness was top-notch, making the stay comfortable. The service provided was excellent, with staff being helpful in providing directions, suggesting places to visit, and assisting with various needs. The location was safe and convenient, with easy access to local bars and restaurants open till late. The proximity to multiple subway stations made exploring the city hassle-free. The dining experience offered a variety of continental and Korean options, although it could have been more extensive. The facilities at the hotel were up to par and provided what was needed for a pleasant stay.
