Do not stay here. This was the grossest hotels Iโve stayed in. The room looked nothing like the photos and all the walls and surfaces were dirty. The bathroom was disgusting with a brown stained toilet and the whole room smelled like mold.
The room was very decent. It had nice features like a rainfall shower head, and full size bath. Room was not spotless, but was clean enough to be enjoyable with no problems. Check-in was very easy.
The room was super nice, as a solo traveller I really enjoyed it, however if you are staying with a friend or family instead of a partner it can be awkward as there is not a lot of bathroom privacy, however overall the hotel was super nice
Good staff and service. But wall of bed is not clean, no working washing on toilet.

Nothing to be blown away by. Bed was comfortable but hotel was tired and in need of some tlc. Cigarette smell prevalent throughout.
Decent location right by Hapjeong station.
