Amazing
JJinThis is the best hotel during my 2 week stay in South Korea. The location was great as it is 5 mins' walk to Gwangjusongjeong station and near the street where there are grilled short rib patties. The room was super spacious and came with a massage chair and a jacuzzi bathtub. They even have branded shampoo and conditioner in the room and also provided toner and essence for face. This is so amazing. There is free self service washing machine and dryer on level 10 too. Service was also great. Check in (2pm) was earlier than other hotels (3pm). It was really great value for money as the room cost <SGD105 a night. It was just wow.

KKliTorgood hotel. The renovation is good, everything is clean. cleaning occurs every day, the bed is made, towels are changed, the trash can is updated, and personal hygiene items are also updated. Every time I come, I stay at this hotel, I really like it. large bed, large TV, wireless charging, all amenities for living are there. On the downside, one morning there was a very strong smell of sewage throughout the room. terrible smell of food waste mixed with ****. You can’t turn on dim lights, that’s also bad. I had to ventilate for a very long time. there are also breakfasts, but I never went to breakfast

GGuest UserPros Excellent Location: The hotel is conveniently located near the metro line, making it easy to access the airport and main train station. Soundproofing: The soundproofing is impressive, allowing for a restful night’s sleep without disturbances from outside noise. Great Dining Options: There are plenty of good food options nearby, adding to the overall experience. Cons Bright Control Panel Lights: The orange light from the temperature control panel is excessively bright at night. Additionally, the centralized light control panel emits a very bright blue light. Even after turning off the main lights, these panels create a glowing ambiance that can be quite annoying. In Japan, similar panels allow users to turn off the lights on the control itself, which would be an improvement here. Conclusion Overall, while the location, soundproofing, and dining options are excellent, the overly bright control panel lights detract from an otherwise enjoyable stay. I hope the management considers making adjustments to enhance guest comfort.

Even if I have questions, they answer them in a refreshing manner. My girlfriend and I like playing games, so we often go to the computer room. My girlfriend likes playing games because we are good at them. I ask for your continued support and wish you a happy new year!

AAnonymous UserWe arrived and our reservation had not been registered, so our room was not ready. The lady who received us was very friendly, and suggested that we would go for dinner, while the room would be prepared, and so we did. The room is quite small but nice, the shower was coming out of the sink?!? Not really practical/nice. For breakfast, you have to wash your own dishes, cups and cutlery at the end ;-)

SSarahBraithwaite77Stayed for 4 nights in private room. Small but compact room with drawers and shelves for storage. Good hot working shower. Comfortable beds and efficient air con and fan. Plenty of food options and shops around as close to the university and good transport links to major attractions. Shared kitchen, small but everything you need. Due to this being shared, it was not always the cleanest as not everyone takes responsibility to clean after themselves. Hosts were LOVELY. Really friendly and always around for a chat. We sat with them for dinner one evening and we're given local fruits to try. Cheap and convenient.

KKliTorThere were 15 storeys in our hotel. Our room was on the second floor. It was quite big. There was one double bed, two single beds, a bathroom and a balcony in it. The view from the balcony was unforgettable – serene infinite sea and lush greenery. There was a big restaurant in our hotel. We had our breakfast there. The food at the restaurant was delicious and varied. There were two large swimming pools in the hotel. One swimming pool was only for adults, however, the other swimming pool was for everyone. By the swimming pools there were bars where we could get snacks and ice-cream. There was also a gym with a sauna, a small tennis court and a gift shop in our hotel. I really liked our holiday in Malta and I hope that one day we will go back there!
