"I visited this hotel two months ago, but I came back. Last time, it was a bit chaotic because it was newly opened, but now it's a stable atmosphere?

I didn't eat and just looked around, but it looked delicious. Coffee is free, too. Washing machines and dryers are also free if you just buy detergent. I feel this every time, but Dongdaemun at night...

The accommodation was very basic which I didn’t mind because I only needed a place to sleep for one night. The shower leaked water all over the sleeping area even though...
