    I came here in winter, and the room is very warm and the shower comes out well. It is very close to the station and the traffic is good. Compared to other places, the price is lower and the facilities are clean. It is a very suitable hotel for backpackers like me. If I travel to Seoul again, it is a place I want to come again.
