The hotel is conveniently located, just a short walk from the Sinseoldong subway station, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms are spacious, which I appreciated, but they could definitely use a proper cleaning due to some dust and leftover items from previous guests. The staff was friendly and helpful, though the overall service could improve in cleanliness and tidiness. For the price, it offers decent value, but don't expect luxury here.

The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from the subway, making it easy to get around the city. The rooms are spacious and clean, which was perfect for me and my two teenagers. However, it's a bit misleading as it's not as close to the shopping area as I had hoped. Overall, it's a good value for money with unique room options like the racing car and billiard rooms, but I would expect a little more in terms of location.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which was conveniently located close to the subway station, making it easy to get around. The room was clean, but a bit small and nothing fancy.
