청결도나 관리 주변시설 등은 아주 맘에들었습니다 하지만 서비스 부분에서는 바쁘셔서 그랬는지 손님응대나 전화응대에서 조금은 아쉽더군요

No where in the city
Hotel is located nowhere in the city. Not near to any attraction place. Only small convenient stores and local restaurants around. 15 mins walk from hotel to subway.
Day time is quiet but night time is not.
The room is clean and bigger than normal size, especially the toilet.
Reception doesn't speak good English but very helpful.

If you must...
There's nothing really wrong with it. It's not as close to the subway as I thought, about 15 minute walk. I was surprised that it received 3 stars. It's not a dump, but not 3 stars either. The neighbor is not bad, but nothing to see or do. It's most industrial, lots of auto shops.

편리한 위치지만....
찾기 편하고 이용하는데 많이 불편함은 없었지만 비용이 너무 비싼 거 같습니다. 솔직히 이 호텔 비용 반이면 다른 곳에서 비슷한 수준으로 지낼 수 있습니다. 청결은 좋았습니다.

Two computers in room - ace.
Breakfast is basically self serve toast.

This is intended as a single (fun) night kind of "hotel".

best to stay for going around the city
I cannot ask for more. Very helpful staff and awesome room. Wi-Fi is fast and there are computers available inside the room so there's no need to bring your laptops.

Big samsung TV , jacuzzi bath and good toiletry items and free bar drinks. Wifi if possible if it available in English. Front desk staff was very polite and helpful. Hotel could be improve to make it more prominent as it has excellent facilities. More greenery can be placed at the exterior stairway exit area. Excellent hotel.

On the whole the experience was a satisfactory one
The stay was comfortable, except for the fact the breakfast that is included is a very meagre one. Also the fact that the rooms do not have a closet for clothes was inconvenient. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the other amenities like computers and internet connection in rooms are very good.

Hotel VIV
Hotellet i helhet var väldigt bra, med bra standard på rummen. Dock var det ganska svårt att kommunicera med personalen på hotellet då nästan ingen kan engelska, men det gäller generellt i Seoul så man kanske inte kan förvänta sig så mycket. Det som också är märkbart är att den stora frukosten som ingår består av ett rostbröd och sylt. Så för den hungrige måste extra kostnader läggas till för frukost. (Det går inte att köpa till en större frukost på hotellet men det finns några ställen i närheten som serverar frukost.)

Muy bien el VIV
Linda. Muy serviciales. No hablan inglés. El desayuno es realmente escueto.
