The room was clean, I loved the large tv, the large bath tube and was good having a mini market just in the same building. The metro is 5 minutes away walking. The neighbors is so so , but is central so it was easy go everywhere

Billz Hotel Dongdaemoon
It's amazing to find such a cheap and clean accommodation on a trip to Seoul. I made a reservation because it's not expensive and the reviews are good, but the bed is big It's comfortable! I liked it because it was self-check-in, not face-to-face, and I was satisfied because it was quiet outside ...

Aldığım odayı bana haber vermeden değiştirip yapacakları bir şey olmadığını söylediler gittiğimde. Küçücük kafes gibi odada kalamazdım
