"The private tub and dry sauna experience was truly unique and memorable. My family and I love Japanese ryokan-style accommodations, and this was one of the most affordable ways we've experienced it. For less than $100, we had a large private soaking tub that comfortably fit all three of us while we relaxed and watched Netflix.

"Great location to sites. Recommended by Lonely Planet, but room was a little shabby, dominated by a huge marble bath surrounded by astroturf which smelt like plastic. The bath was placed between the room and window, making the room dark. Breakfast was very good although they kept running out of items. Luggage storage was not secure, by the entry door. Personnel were the usual, kind Koreans who tried their best to be helpful."
