Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I decided to book this hotel based on a TikTok review, but unfortunately, my experience did not live up to expectations. Here’s why I would not recommend staying here during my visit from 10–15 December 2024:
Location: The hotel is surrounded by hardware shops and industrial buildings. The area becomes very quiet after 7 PM, which can feel unsettling and even unsafe at night.
Distance to Attractions: The nearest night market is about a 10-minute walk away. While that may not seem far, the walk back in cold weather can be uncomfortable, and you may even feel hungry again by the time you return.
Family Room Location: We booked a family room on Level 3, which felt eerie and isolated as most of the standard rooms are located on other levels. It didn’t help that very few people seemed to book family rooms, adding to the unsettling vibe.
Lack of Basic Amenities: The hotel does not provide essential items like slippers, toothpaste, or toothbrushes. Additionally, the towels provided were not properly cleaned and appeared dingy instead of fresh white.
Hygiene Issues: The bathroom had many flies, which I suspect was due to the room being unoccupied for a long time before our stay.
Ineffective Heating: We tried borrowing a heater from the hotel, but it took an excessively long time to warm up the room and was essentially useless.
In summary, I would highly recommend booking a hotel near Myeongdong instead and not this.
