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
인터넷 속도도 빠르고 5G로 가능합니다. 객실과 욕실이 아주 깔끔하고 가격도 저렴해서 상당히 만족했습니다. 그리고 무었보다 좋았던점은 2층 미니바가 있는데 각종 음료와 원두커피, 생수가 무제한 무료입니다. 어메너티도 돈을 안받고 추가로 무료 사용가능하여 이 가격에 이정도 퀄리티라면 자신있게 추천하고 싶습니다.
