Dina from Austria (10/10)
The location was perfect! A few steps away from Hongik University Station. Hongdae is just around the corner. Everything is new in the apartment so the stay was so comfortable. We never needed to buy water to drink because there is a water purifier that serves you hot/cold water and ice tubes in a click. The massage chair is a big plus. Get relaxed after a long day just sitting on it. Everyone of us slept well because there were 3 Queen beds available.

連接地鐵出口,下雨都不怕。 大廈一樓已經有Oliva Young,真係好方便。 後門可出去弘大步行街。 房內乾淨舒適,有放香氛,每次回到房都有淡香味。 房間很大,夠打開4個行李箱平放也可。 房東很好,幫忙訂餐廳。 又詳細解答問題 下次還會再預訂
