10/10 Excellent
"This is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed! The room is perfect, everything very clean, the views of Gwanghalli Bridge and the bridge are a treat. The bathroom is excellent, with lots of water and even a hi-tech toilet, that even plays music! They also have a cafe at the rooftop, but I found it complicated to use and didn’t get to try it. Location is excellent too, with a CU store on the backstreet. I would stay there again, no question!"

"The room was very clean and spacious. Finding a room able to support four was great! The room had a kitchen area with a decent sized fridge/freezer, microwave, and a water purifier that dispensed hot water as well for morning coffee. The patio had a foot bath area with a great view of the bridge. The hotel is located on the 15th floor of a building comprised of other hotels on several other floors. Was a great stay overall and located ina very convenient location to the beach (steps away)."
