  • Thinh from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Easy check in and check out. Could do contactless so I could arrive at flexible times. Air con worked well, location is right next to a metro station so you’re linked up to the rest of Seoul. Internet super fast. Didn’t have time to make use of the other facilities so I’m not sure. It’s very much like a uni dorm room in terms of feel and room size.
