I went to Seoul to meet friends and wanted to relax a bit, so I searched hard and booked..! The interior looks pretty, and the most important thing was whether the jacuzzi was clean. The reviews said the hygiene was good, so I trusted them and went..! I can't say it was absolutely spotless, but compared to other places I felt it was kept fairly clean, haha. It takes a bit of time to fill with water, and you need to balance the hot and cold just right. If you turn it at the wrong angle a little, water can trickle down the faucet and overflow around the tub... I wish I hadn't learned that, but that's what happened…! When you add the provided bath salts the scent spreads gently and it was so nice. If you pair them with the included tea and yakgwa (Korean honey cookie), your fatigue melts away. The accommodation is set a bit inward more than I expected, and since we arrived at night it felt a little secluded, but the place itself is pretty and has a nice vibe. There is no elevator so you have to use the stairs. It seemed like an old motel that had been newly remodeled. We used the second floor, but there was a slight sewer smell coming from the bathroom and toilet. The water also felt a bit slow to drain, maybe? My main purpose was the jacuzzi, so I was satisfied. Also, there were two types of pillows and one was a cervical pillow, which made me clap in delight. Most lodging places only have thick hotel-style pillows that are uncomfortable for me to sleep on. But because there was a cervical pillow it felt like home and I slept soundly -

The cleanliness and the overall layout of the accommodation were much better than I expected. However, hallway noise was not soundproofed and it was uncomfortable.
