If I could give 0 stars, I would give it 0 stars.The bathroom bathtub looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. The sheets, quilt covers and towels provided were also stained. There was serious water seepage from the ceiling in the corridor outside the room, and the hygienic situation was worrying.The air conditioner in the room we stayed in broke down on the first night, and we had to wait until the next day for a technician to repair it. The experience was not very good.In addition, the lighting design in the corridor outside the room is very strange. The lights of each room number are purple, green and white. It is scary at first glance. The design of the stairs in the corridor is also inconvenient for guests pushing suitcases.Apart from its convenient location, close to the subway station and airport bus station, this hotel cannot be recommended in any other aspect.

The hotel looks good. The room is spacious. At first I didn't dare to reserve. Because the review isn't quite good. But with the price decided to reserve here. Not far from the train Near the second-hand marketThe staff were also smiling. And you can leave your luggage first.

It is very close to Dongdaemun Wholesale Market and the subway. There are convenience stores and 24-hour canteens nearby. …

It was the worst everI've never written a bad review, but it's really the worst so I'd like to share.It's long, but I hope you read it.The attitude of the old man who is there late at night and only speaks Korean is the worst.First of all, I made a reservation for 3 people.Slippers, pajamas, and towels were all for two people.When I went to the front desk to get it, I was told with a dissatisfied face and attitude that I would just sleep there, and they never gave me another set.I also needed bath towels, so if I asked again, they said they would give me the room number. When I asked to see the room key, he reluctantly didn't look at me and threw a towel on the desk.Since I was staying for several nights, I went to get new towels and toilet paper, and when I told the staff about my request in Korean and English, was this it? Even though I was supposed to be getting the message across, he told me to speak properly in Korean, and while I was being waved away, he told me to go back to my room in Korean, and while I was pushing the elevator button, he called me in a really angry voice right in front of us. That's what we were complaining about.I was really surprised, so I gave up and went back to my room, where another employee brought it to me.In the first place, as shown in the image, I can't understand why I can't receive what I should have received if I requested it.We didn't even ask them to clean our room for a day, we just asked them for the bare necessities.Because of this staff, what was supposed to be a fun trip to Korea was stuck in my head and I couldn't enjoy it.The hotel was supposed to be a place to rest, but it was a depressing place.There were stains and blood stains on the walls and futon in various places in the room. There was also a lot of dust.The water supply was very poor, and the toilet was located behind the shower, so it was difficult to go to the toilet after showering, and the ventilation fan turned off automatically, so the water smelled of mold and was very dirty.I recommend that you don't go out of your way to stay here because the rooms are dirty and the attitude is bad.Among them, there was only one staff member who was really nice.It seemed like one amenity was missing at the front desk, so he went up to the room with me and brought it for me, and the male staff member was very kind.This hotel may be possible thanks to the staff.
