  숙소 내부는 너무나 깔끔했고, 아기자기한 소품들과 한옥분위기를 느낄수 있어서 좋았음.
  지하철역에서 가까웠고, DDP까지도 걸어갈 수 있는 위치라서 너무나 편리했음. 방이 넓어서 파티나 모임장소로도 좋을것같음.
  재방문의사 있음!!

• Shishana from France (5/10)

  L’emplacement est bien. 3 chambres c’est pratique ! Le problème est la salle de bain ou le lavabo n’est pas relié à l’évacuation d’eau et donc quand on se lave les dents on se reçoit le dentifrice sur les pieds.
  Nous sommes habitués aux salles de bain Coréenne avec la douche etc mais la il y avait de l’eau partout dès que la moindre personne prenait une douche
