The staff was very kind helping us navigate the check in. The “king and twin” room was very spacious. There were local options for eating around as well as conscience stores. Great for our one night stay before our flight the next morning.

A surprisingly well priced little gem. A little tricky to find, once inside it’s a tidy and clean haven from the bustling world outside. We stopped for a short night after flying in and checked in (with a super-friendly lady) at about 23:30! Bed was very comfy and The Botanist room was lovely and had a private bathroom. A lovely little find for a low price!

I was confused by the place but they honestly did give me the information on how to get in except one small detail. It's fine though. The place was very quiet. There's a lot of door codes and cameras. The bathroom was leaking from the ceiling. The room is perfectly clean. But I didn't realize there's no private bathroom. No bugs. No funny smells. However, I think it's overpriced for what it is: communal bathroom, hidden, kiosk hotel.

너무 별로입니다….. 일단 너무 습하고 꿉꿉해서 이불을 덮고 싶지 않구요 가장 중요한건 밖에서 자는 기분이 들 정도로 밖 소음이 다들립니다. 옆방 소음도 다들려서 오토바이소리 차소리 옆방 알람소리로 2-3시간 잔거같네요 차라리 이럴거면 공항 캡슐호텔이 나을 뻔 했어요…..
