The staff was properly cleaning the facility, also they were very polite. The location is perfect, you can just go to nearby Shijan to eat Korean traditional meal.
Only thing I didn’t like is the noise from nearby Noreban, karaoke house. But it was just sometimes.

For the price it's very good. The location is good too since it is close to the Gwangjang Market. The floor of the room was always warm.
If you need to work in your computer and join some meetings (in which you need to talk), that's not possible since there is not spot for that.

close to markets, easy to eat, convenient
The room is a little small, there is no changing head for charging the phone, there is no toothpaste and toothbrush, no shower gel, the rest is mostly normal.
