"We had a generally pleasant stay at Onjae Suites. The suite was spacious, and the beds, pillows, and linens were comfortable. Although there is no front desk, the staff were responsive and communicated promptly through messaging. However, the messages were in Korean, so we had to copy and paste them into a translation app to understand the instructions and responses. Providing messages in English for international guests would make communication more convenient. Our biggest concern was the...

"I liked how close the room was to the Subway. It’s likely my fault for not reading carefully but not having an elevator with wheeled luggage was not fun. I had to step sideways up the stairs also because the flat part of the steps did not fit my feet. I actually stumbled at the last part of the steps when leaving. Nice room if you have just a backpack."
