    “The environment is good.”

    It is away from tourist spots, but close to the station. The town itself is quiet, clean, and safe. Although there aren't many staff who speak Japanese, they are friendly. The room is not spacious but clean, which is sufficient if you're just staying overnight. I would be happier if it were a bit more affordable.

    “I want to stay again.”

    The water facilities were incredibly clean! Based on my experience with hotels in Korea, even when the shower and toilet are separate, the shower room door often doesn't close properly, resulting in a wet floor outside. However, this was not an issue here at all – the water pressure was sufficient, and the temperature was stable, making it very comfortable! It might have been because we were in a triple room, but the space in the washroom was also spacious, and having two hairdryers was a great help. The bed was clean and comfortable, and there was enough space to open a suitcase. Besides not finding a switch for the ventilation fan in the toilet and the air conditioning sometimes shutting off on its own, I thought it was a fantastic hotel with great value for money! You can walk through the underground from Line 2 station to near the hotel, and it's convenient to get to Seoul Station without transfers from the nearby bus stop! You can also get an information sheet for Japanese guests at the front desk, so I think it's fine even if you don't understand Korean. (The receptionist seemed like they could speak Japanese, too.) My friend who stayed with me said that we would like to use it again if we have the chance(^^)

    “It was a comfortable journey.”

    I used this during my trip to Korea with a friend. It was very convenient as it was close to the station, and there were convenience stores and cafes nearby. The building, room, and everything else were clean, and there were no issues. The room was a bit small, but since we were staying as a pair, it was not a problem. There was just enough space to open two suitcases. I felt that the shower water pressure was a bit weak. The amenities provided were just the bare minimum.

    It was very clean and comfortable. The room amenities were well-equipped, and towels were changed daily. There were also body soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion provided. It was my first trip to Korea, but my stay at the hotel was very pleasant. I highly recommend it. There was a bus stop to Incheon Airport right in front of the hotel, and it was easily accessible within 5 to 10 minutes on foot from the nearest station.
