Reviews

  • Mangkang from Thailand (8/10)

    Located in Yeonnam, there are several restaurants and convenience stores nearby. My favorite feature is the luggage elevator.

  • Deena from Indonesia (7/10)

    The location is ok, it is about 10 minutes from exit 3 of hongik univ, the room is spacious enough for us to put our 5 luggage on the ground. The room are upstairs but we didn’t have to carry our luggage because there is luggage elevator to bring the luggage upstairs.
    Downstairs are coffee machine, laundry machine and water that you can consume and use at anytime.
    It was worth the price for what you get.
