The property is conveniently located in the very center of all the tourist attractions which are a short walk or train ride away. But the room was terribly dirty, found a used condom on the floor between the bed and night table, along with a lot of trash underneath the beds

It’s located in Seoul downtown just near the Cheonggye-cheon. The building is looking old but it’s clean and comfortable bed room. The very kind staff and cheap price. If I need to stay in downtown in Seoul. I can stay here another one night.

Not what I expected

The hotel was more like a motel. It is old and not as good as you expect for what you pay.

Don’t recommend here for your sanity.

Location is bad, I think it is located in the middle of ghetto. There were so much drunken people in front of the hotel. I did not feel safe, So I did early check out without any refund. Also the room was not ready when I get there 7:30 pm ish. The AC and lights did not work properly. Awful place in beautiful city.

Most uncomfortable bed out of all the beds we slept in the whole country of Korea. Smallest and thinnest mattress. Ancient immovable “stereo”(?) thing next to the bed, preventing even my arm from hanging off the bed. The whole 7th floor smelled of cigarette smoke, covered up with some scent. Small towels. Noisy jack hammer outside all night long. The best thing about this place was the free water in the lobby and the friendly/helpful front desk person. Neighborhood is under construction so I’m hopeful the hotel will clean up and get their act together in order to compete with the up and coming new businesses as this can be a good neighborhood in a year or two. Right next to the river walk and the subway.

タオルの交換

チェックイン時にタオルの交換、清掃についての説明があった。環境に配慮する時代だから仕方がないと思うが、バスタオルと足ふきマットがなかったので結局毎日交換してもらった。一枚がバスタオルであれば二日ぐらいは使用できたと思う。

Det var inget utöver det vanliga, det var ett okej ställe att sova & bo på. Det som var illa var det faktum att sängkläderna (allt inkluderat) hade många fläckar på sig, och under sängarna var det väldigt smutsigt. Vidare så fick vi besök av kackerlackor i badrummet vid flera tillfällen (hittade 5 under cirka 2 veckors vistelse) vilket inte var så trevligt. Men hotellet var bekvämt, aningen utdaterad kanske men inget wow eller bä heller. Men bra service!

위치 좋은 호텔

출장을 자주다녀서 전국 여러호텔에 묵어본결과, 이정도면 굿 이다~ 편한침구, 투베드, 적당한가격, 지리적위치, 옆길의포장마차우동, 온수콸콸, 침대옆협탁에서 컨트롤하는 히터로 금방 데워지는 공기 등.. 그러나 전원꺼진 텅빈 냉장고(물도 하나없는),화장대에도 믹스커피 하나없고, 히터나오는 그릴은 묵은먼지가 가득했다 그럼에도 불구하고 그럭저럭 잘 쉬었으나 이런서비스라면 가격은 좀 다운을..
