The public area on the first floor looks like someone is living in it. It is filled with personal belongings. There is a fishy smell when the refrigerator is opened. The whole place is quite messy and dirty.There are cockroaches in the room, the light bulb is broken and has not been repaired, the screen window in the bathroom is not sealed, and mosquitoes will fly in.There is basically no one at the counter, and the curtain is always closed, making it difficult to find someone when you need service or ask questions.The only advantage is that it is very close to the subway station! That's all.

The location is really convenient, and it's near Dongdaemun, so you won't have to worry about running out of food. But there are only stairs, so those with luggage may want to think carefully. …

I've been on a lot of business trips in my 60s, but this is the first time I've been to a place as humiliating as this. Hotel Gaon Dongdaemun has a hotel sign, but it's worse than an inn in the 70s. …

I love that it's close to Dongdaemun General Market. The navigation app tells you about the alley, but it's quicker to go back to the main street! …

The location is convenientAs for the guest rooms. . . It feels like staying in someone's house rather than a guest room.It looks like the futon will come out at a friend's house (lol)4th floor of a 4-story buildingI had one room on the 4th floor so it was comfortable.The 2nd and 3rd floors were lively.The outlet is CThere are many power sourcesThere was also a hair dryerThe room was small.Feeling spread out on the bedBasically check in? When you check in, you just get an explanation of the door, and there's no check-out, so you can change it at your own discretion.

A cockroach appeared. I was walking on the bed. The bathroom window could not be closed and the voices could be heard. I will never stay there again.
