PponyoliThe location is excellent, about a 10-minute walk to Han Market. Just note that it feels more like 15-20 minutes when walking in the midday sun. The room is clean and has a small kitchenette with a sink, dishes, an induction hob (didn't use), and a microwave (didn't use). As other reviews mentioned, there's definitely a peculiar smell in the room. I'm not sure if it's a moldy smell, as I haven't encountered that before, but it's somewhat similar to the river smell you get when walking along Han River. It doesn't seem like a drain smell, but it's definitely something distinct. It was a bit bothersome. I didn't see any mold in my room on the 5th floor. Airing out the room every morning didn't make it disappear. Other than that, the bed, furniture, and amenities felt new, as if the place had just opened. The sheets and towels seemed to have been washed but always had some persistent stains. Housekeeping started at 9 AM, and while there were a few minor annoyances if you set high standards, compared to the four other accommodations I stayed at (Hoi An, Hue, etc.), this one was the best, apart from the unique smell. If you are sensitive to smells, I'd recommend a different place. Also, the door let in all the light from the hallway, which was too bright, but when I complained, they said I could just turn it off. It was fine once I turned it off and went to sleep. I could hear light switch clicks and chairs being dragged from adjacent rooms, but no other major noise. Being close to the airport, I could hear night flights, but it was like white noise to me. I'm not very sensitive to anything but light when I sleep, but I thought I'd mention these points for anyone choosing accommodation.
