Convenient location and comfortable
My family and I had a wonderful one night stay at Samstay. Clear directions to apartment were provided, which really helped. Good location with Hongik University Subway station (Exit 2) just 1 minute away, Exit 9 (night market street) just across the street. Lots of eateries around. Pick up point for our Vivaldi ski trip was at Exit 8, which was just across the street. So that was really convenient. The only issue was the TV. We couldn’t get it to work and help was not available. It was a good reason to get my children to bed early.

舒適之旅
入住時，廁所水有滲漏，令廁所地面經常有水，幸好沒有滑倒過。最後一天，還沒有廁所水，沖廁很麻煩。但整體上，舒適，床比較軟，有提供廚房，食具，洗衣機，晒衫架，腳部按摩機等， 非常方便可以少帶衣服。

不錯的酒店
鄰近地鐵站出口（有電梯），對拿著繁重行李的顧客來講是十分方便。職員會不時透過短訊發出窩心問候及提供合適的協助。房間整體很整潔舒適，房間裡有簡潔廚具，可以煮輕食。酒店鄰近弘大中心，吃、喝、玩、樂應有盡有，購物也很方便。 下次會再選擇此酒店，並會介紹給親友。

位置理想，交通便利，周邊多購物商店和食肆。
有點失望，入住至離開全程只是以短訊聯繫，負責人除了首天講解如何到達房間位置，再沒有其他說明(如退房資料，寄存服務等)，而且由最初聯繫開始，負責人經常弄錯客人訂房資料(如入住天數)。房間整潔一般，浴室和煮食位置衛生較差，沒有提供訂房時註明的簡單清潔用品，以及每天清潔房間服務 (**但店員是每天都有到來房間)，連最基本的清理垃圾都沒有，本人已簡單分類和封口，所以住上數天後衛生環境更差。
