I chose this hotel from the list of newly opened hotels in Seoul compiled by Wendy's. When I was doing my homework, I confessed that I was not familiar with the location. Wendy said that I only need to look for Dongdaemun and Gangnam districts and those close to the subway station. , and the reviews from guests within 6-8 months were unanimously positive, so they immediately placed an order for a room. We originally ordered a two-bedroom residence Residence – 2-Bedroom, but the receptionist helped us change it to a two-bedroom residence Residence – 2-Bedroom. The former has two single beds, and the latter has one double bed and one single bed. , there is not much difference in space size, and the price is the same.
The hardware equipment in the room is well maintained. In order to make the space look more spacious, almost all are arranged on the wall. In addition, there is a small kitchen area next to the bed, which provides a variety of kitchen utensils and cooking utensils. This is ideal for traveling with parents and children. , even for people traveling with babies, this room type and function are quite suitable. Because even the bathroom space has a bathtub, it saves a lot of trouble for bathing children/babies. In addition, based on the fact that we were carrying two suitcases at the time, it was still feasible to place them in the aisle or kitchen area. It is recommended that when traveling to Korea, the suitcase size should be approximately 26 inches. (🔎Reservation price and guest reviews:agoda|booking.com)
