It is convenient to get to the hotel. It locates pretty much in the center of everything. Travelers who like shopping will definitely love to stay in this hotel. Also, it is very easy to get to see things since the train station is within walking distance. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly.

객실 들어가자마자 환기 안 한 냄새가 났습니다. 폰토초 길이 작지만 유동인구가 있다보니 새벽에 사람들 소리 지르고 오토바이 소리에 잠을 설쳤습니다.
