Please read this review. We stayed for 2 nights. The hotel is shocking, it ruined our whole trip. The room smells of mold and cigarettes. Don't be tempted to book despite the cheap price, this hotel will probably be the worst hotel you will stay at. The room with marks on the walls, dirty, even an open electrical outlet!!!!! How dangerous. The bed was uncomfortable and looked unclean. Please don't make the mistake I did. I ordered because of good reviews on different websites but the pictures are misleading. The condition of the hotel is beyond criticism.

I have not taken pictures but I hope these descriptions I provide can help for any newer/NERVOUS travellers. As other people have said, there is probably a new company that took over so renovations are quite fresh. You check in via the tall VERY noticeable yellow building. The receptionist was quite nice and he is situated right in front of the luggage storage (very practical for if you land early aka most cheap flights and you just need to leave luggage before visiting around and checking in later). Check in is at 3:00pm. I lived in the building next to the main building in room 606. Room was clean and very comfortable, great ac. Just make sure you turn on the heater which is close to the floor to get hot water (it heats up the floor at the same time). It was not bad here as there are elevators so people on vacations with large large suitcases are accommodating. I also have to say, there is a GS25 (convenience store) right next to the hotel which is AMAZING. Great, cheap breakfast! The subways are a bit farther though and it is an area with loads of ups and downs which was essentially the only downside for me. Last but not least, my biggest pet peeve, restroom. It was clean. Amazing.

A very nice place with amenities, clean bed room and bathroom, and attentive staff. The hotel is close to the sinchon station which that’s even better

The rooms are better than expected in Datong. The location is just a few minutes away from the subway station. The staff are nice. You can store your luggage yourself. …

This was hotel was amazing. The room came with a separated spacious bathroom with the shower and toliet sectioned from each other. This room was less depressing than other hotels/motels in Seoul for a good price.

I stayed for 4 days and 3 nights in total on this trip. I stayed on the 6th floor. Although the room was not big, it was neat and clean and had a window to the outside. …

It's very old. There are stairs on the 5th floor, which is inconvenient. …

The entrance is a bit hard to find, just look at the yellow building. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Xincun Subway Station. There is a G25 downstairs in the hotel. …

The decoration of the room is relatively old, and the overall feeling is oppressive and uncomfortable (much like the feeling of early motels) 😓 …
