저렴한 값에 비해 좋은 호텔

2만원도 안 하는 가격에 불만을 품는건 문제가 있지만 어쨌든 화장실 문이 없는건 불편하네요. 그래도 이 값에 머물다 가는데에 큰 불편은 없는 정도입니다. 침대 위에 수건이랑 어메니티 놓여있어서 좋네요. 아, 참고로 계단 없어서 짐 들고 올라가다가 죽네요.

Consider acceptable for short trip.

Reasonable priced, however got to walk up flight of stairs. Considerably spacious room. Friendly receptionist. Located between two restaurant, hence covenience to eat. But fire risk is also higher since restaurants used fire for cooking. Muslim may not want to stay here because it located in between two pork selling restaurants.

Great location and comfort for a nice price

This hotel provides us with a clean room with good functioning aircon. Disadvantage was that the bathroom was small and the space for showering was almost non existing. There was also no minifridge which I find usefull. However we really enjoyed our stay here and it was of great convenience.
