Excellent Amenities and Convenient Location!

large roomuseful amenitiesgood air conditioning

The room was quite large with plenty of amenities. I found the provided washer and dryer very convenient. Instructions were available, though laundry liquid cost 1000 Won per sachet. The fridge was stocked with water daily, and I appreciated the excellent air conditioning, as well as the underfloor heating in parts of the room.
