Staff were nice and friendly”

I was a little disappointed with the first room that was assigned to me. I know that I got this on a discounted price but considering that the hotel was labeled four stars, I would have imagined to have a clean, decent space. There were stains and cracks on the ceiling. the window view was nothing but roofs and metal structures but the staff had been friendly and nice and moved me to another room which was 100x better than the first one. the lady who made up the room the following day was equally nice. The location of this hotel was good and the places I planned to visit were close by.

Good Base for Roaming Around”

The hotel is within 5 minutes walk to Sinsa Station (Line 3) which is 2 stations away from Express Bus Terminal to travel to other cities and a good 7-9 stations to main central tourist area (Dongdaemun, Geungbokgung Palace area and even Seoul Station). I find it great to stay and roam about at a reasonable price especially when my stay is over christmas period. The hotel staffs are generally helpful and the room is reasonably clean. s The only downside is that the core room facilities such as tv and air conditioning systems, power points provisions are outdated. The hotel lobby seems empty without any seats for guests or any amenities at all.

It was interesting”

the first-floor lobby is extremely clean and modern. As soon as you take the elevator, the vibe changes completely - it feels a bit like a haunted house. The wallpapers are ripped, and the wall plugs don't work properly - my partner almost electrocuted herself. Whenever someone rings the doorbell, the light goes out. We found that pretty funny. Despite the ridiculousness, it was a great location if you are interested in staying close to the Gangnam area.

Strong points - The pictures are great! - In day time, the real hotel looks like the one in picture - Luckily, I got my requests - bed, new bed sheet and pillow cover because there were stains on them, however, the hotel staff confirmed that its was clean. - Staffs are able to speak English. - Good location close to Sinsa station Reasons Why I'm not recommend this hotel - I felt unsafe when I arrive it was at night because the hotel was quite dark and less hotel staffs. The hotel is actually quite old. Just the front part that was decorated and rebuild new. (If you are travel alone, I wouldn't recommend) - The room was mentioned NO SMOKE policy however when I entered the room smell like someone were just smoking. Seriously not suit for those sensitive for air allergy and smoke. (Even they provide air purifier) - The room was quite small comparing what I see in the photos posted on Agoda.

Facility is old! I mean old! Water leaks from the bathroom to the carpets. Light fixtures hanging from ceilings. Carpet seems old and dirty. Bathroom/shower has no curtain, everything gets wet. Beds are 2 singles pushed together where the middle sags. City view was a joke! Had a view of a roof! Staff changed rooms for us and we were put on the 11th floor with a bullshit city view. Dont stay here if you want a clean room… if youre ok with all of the aforementioned by all means do.

good location but old hotel”

as hotel is in Sinsa station, it is easy to reach to Gwanghwamun and Gangnam station. However, the quality of hotel is really old and a bit dirty. I have changed 4 times the room. The first room was extremly dirty, I found out hair in the fridge.. which is non sense. In the second room, I found out again THE HAIR on the towel....... The third room was ok but as i stayed for 10 days, i needed a wardrobe. Thanks to the manager, I changed again the room however, there was a water leak in the toilet............... The hotel said they fixed it but still, there was the water leak... I dont understand whether they fixed it or not..... Finally I got new room, it was ok.... not bad however it was tooo old and i can see the red fungus in the toilet and some rust....... It is not recomendable to stay here for long-term.......
