    “Free water!!”

    Pros: - 1-2min. Walk to bus stop (bus stop which is connected to almost all touristy and bustling places) - 3 bus stops away from myeongdong or maybe 2? Can’t remember exactly. 😅 - WATER IS FREE!!! They have a bottled water fridge in the common area where you can get as much water as you like. - Functional common area with microwave, FREE UNLIMITED INSTANT COFFEE, free disposable cutlery (incl. chopsticks) & paper cup for coffee, use of electric kettle. - 24/7 check-in - Walking distance to local fastfood and coffee shops. You literally just have to walk a few steps away and you’ll see lots - There’s a convenience store beside the property (with working ATM machine) - Receptionist can understand english - Unlimited basic toiletries from the lobby/reception area - They even helped us arrange airport transfer since our departure is beyond bus/train hours Cons: - Property is a bit old so there is this old building smell. It’s not a bad smell but there’s a certain smell. - We got rooms with loft and the stairs going to the loft area seems kinda frail - No bidet - Shower and toilet area has no partition Overall we had an amazing stay and i am willing to stay there again if given the chance. Shoutout to the night duty ajhussi at the front desk who smokes cigs with me every night at the side porch 😆

    “Myeongdong Marine Hotel”

    I used it for the first time. I stayed in a twin room. There was a kettle, refrigerator/freezer, TV, air conditioner, hairdryer, and closet. There is a washing machine, but it cannot be used. There were no bathrobes, slippers, toothbrushes, or toothpaste. There was body soap and shampoo, but no conditioner. There is space to open a suitcase. Additionally, the high ceiling made the room feel spacious. The location requires a bit of walking to the subway station, but there are multiple lines available, including lines 2, 5, and 4. It was convenient, especially since I could take line 5 directly to Gimpo Airport without transferring. By the way, the bus stop is very close, making it convenient for using the bus. I took advantage of the transportation card that allows unlimited rides on both the subway and bus, so I used both. Also, we could take as many bottles of water as we wanted from the lobby, so on a hot day, I often used one in my room, had one when I used the kettle, and took one with me when going out. The room has a refrigerator and freezer, so we could store food we bought. Additionally, there were coffee sticks, tea bags, and snacks available in the lobby, which we could take freely. One minor concern was that when using the shower, if the shower direction wasn't adjusted, it would get quite wet around the toilet area. The age of the shower, toilet, and sink facilities is also noticeable. 💧 Lastly, the front desk staff was all smiling and provided kind and attentive service, so my friends and I agreed that we would definitely use it again. 👍🏻

    “Full for the price.”

    We stayed in a group of five, and all five of us were able to spend our time comfortably without feeling unpleasant. The unit bath (just a shower) didn't have a curtain, so we brought our own curtain from the 100 yen shop or somewhere else and installed it ourselves, which was quite an effort. However, the cost-performance was very good, and we could easily access the station, with beautiful scenery. At night, we were also able to try registering for a subscription service, and even though the TV wasn't working, the staff kindly fixed it for us. Additionally, there was daily cleaning, so we could keep the place tidy. The position of the outlets was a bit awkward, making charging a bit tricky, but it wasn't a big deal.

    “Great stay overall”

    Staff were friendly and room was clean and big. Hotel is near a lot of restaurants (that are open till late at night), food markets, coffee shops and convenience stores. They are also near 2 subway stations and bus stop. There's free coffee and drinking water which you can get at the lobby. You can also get hot water and use their microwave at the communal area by the lobby. They lend guests travel adapters and give out toilet tissues and soap which you can also get at the lobby. Check in and check out was seamless. We were allowed to leave our luggages at the lobby for a while so we could still roam around a bit and do last minute shopping before our flight at night. There's a weighing scale for luggages at the lobby. Overall great stay! Highly recommend this hotel!

    “Great stay overall”

    Staff were friendly and room was clean and big. Hotel is near a lot of restaurants (even a food market) and convenience stores and a short walk to 2 subway stations as well as the bus stop. They clean out the trash inside your hotel room everyday and replenish the towels with clean ones. They have free coffee and drinking water that you can get at the communal area at the lobby where you can also get hot water and use their microwave. They also lend guests travel adapters and give out soap and tissues where you can get at the lobby as well. Check in and check out was seamless. They allowed us to leave our luggage at the lobby for a while after check out to roam around for a bit as our flight is at night. Highly recommend this place!
