Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had shocking room conditions but made up for it with a really comfortable bed. The service was accommodating, and the location was convenient despite being close to a very noisy train line. The dining included gyu-don dishes. The facilities were basic but satisfactory.
The hotel offers a really comfortable bed, and the rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels. However, the rooms themselves are in shocking condition. The service was excellent, with prompt responses to my request to change rooms. The location is very convenient, being very close to a large shopping complex and just a 2-minute drive to A1 parking, although not far from the airport. The dining experience was satisfactory with hot dishes included. The facilities were decent, catering to basic needs.
The hotel is conveniently located very close to the airport, making it ideal for quick stopovers. The rooms are in shocking condition, but surprisingly, the bed was really comfortable. The service, especially at the reception desk, was accommodating and swift in addressing concerns. However, the dining options are a bit expensive, and the location might not be suitable for everyone due to its proximity to the airport.
