I recommend

Beautiful property and perfect location. However, it might be a cultural thing but you will not experience the same kind of welcome you feel in America. People will not greet you. Room is a lil smaller than I expected and I’m an airline employee that travels the world. Room was cleaned daily and sheets were replaced. I would definitely recommend just wanted to highlight certain things so travelers are aware. Ps: I didn’t recognize that there was mold on my bathroom ceiling. I can tell they didn’t pay attention to detail when cleaning. Over all a clean property

The room was dirty, and dusty. We we arrived the lobby staff took a 10 minute phone call in the middle of us checking in and we thought that was rude. The bed was cozy, but the room was very dirty on the walls. In the bathroom the paint was peeling by the tub.

Viene presentato come un tre stelle, ma in realtà ne ha due. C'è un altro "the designers" dal lato opposto della strada che ha effettivamente tre stelle, ma la prenotazione viene fatta su quello più scadente. Su Expedia, evidentemente per errore, sono presenti foto di entrambe le strutture.

ちょっと残念でした

いつもは市庁に宿泊しますが、初めて東大門付近に泊りました。場所は駅からも近く外観からすぐに分かり、どこに行くにも便利な立地で良かったです。お部屋の写真から期待していたのですが、想像以上に古く、壁一面鏡で落ち着きませんでした。お部屋にアメニティは１つもありませんし、コンセントが遠く3つ穴しかありません。お水ポットコップ冷蔵庫などはあります。バスタブがあるのも選んだ理由の一つでしたが、水はけが悪くシャワーも使いにくくて結果として湯船には浸かりませんでした。もう利用することはありません。

客室ドアが閉まってるのか分かりづらい。 清掃後に外窓が開きっぱなしされてました。 施設自体は古い印象で壁が薄く他の部屋の音が良く聞こえました。 ナイトショッピングにはいい場所で 江南、ソンス、明洞エリアへの移動はバスや電車で移動しやすかったです。
