I found the comments from Korean people helpful.I brought an electric mosquito repellent with me, but I heard a buzzing sound in my ears and felt hopeless. The room is cleaned, but the level of interior repairs is below amateur level. I gave the travel agency's form to the old lady at the reception desk, but she didn't understand what it meant, and she only spoke to me in Korean, which confused me. If you booked for 2 nights, you will not receive a refund of the cancellation fee, but you will be staying elsewhere.I should have looked at the comments on Google MAP before making a reservation. 155,000w for 2 nights is not worth it.There are comments that there are no towels or soap.As expected, I didn't want to use it due to the atmosphere, so I only used soap. No toothbrush or shaver.Korea is too expensive.

Perhaps due to the large number of Chinese/Japanese tourists, special 2nd class hotels (rather than 1st class) in Myeongdong, Seoul are priced in the high 100,000 to high 200,000 won per night range. From Seoul Station, take Seoul Subway Line 4, 6 stops away, and from Myeongdong Station, take the Seoul Subway. This motel is located a 6-7 minute walk from Exit 2 of Hyehwa Station, which is 4 stops on Line 4 and 1st stop from Dongdaemun Station on Seoul Subway Line 4. Although it is an old motel, it was okay because the TV, air conditioner and shower were replaced with new ones, and the male owner was very friendly. It was friendly, the room had everything you need, and there were various convenience stores and restaurants around. Other motels near Hyehwa Station had no soundproofing at all, but this motel has a toilet and bathroom as soon as you enter the room door, and there is another door to the room. There was no soundproofing so it wasn't difficult to sleep. This motel is located in the direction from Hyehwa Station to Dongdaemun Station, so it is good for guests who have business in Hyehwa-dong and Dongdaemun.

I stayed here during Golden Week with an emphasis on cheap prices.Everything is old...it's not a very courageous hotel.It's an old love hotel, with only half-used soap and toothpaste in the bath, and flimsy hand towels.The wallpaper is peeling off and various areas have been reinforced with curing tape.It was the worst hotel of my life.

Highly recommended!!!!I spent the night catching mosquitoes without losing track of time, and ended up writing a review in the early morning. There is another creature (pictured) in the toilet bowl, which helps with concentration so that you can quickly do your business in the bathroom. It's nice to see a variety of creatures.I have rhinitis and can't smell well, but from the moment I entered the building, I felt like my sense of smell was still alive. In the room, I feel like my lungs are being cleaned thanks to the smell of disinfectant.It's a small room, but there's a museum on one side so you can see what kind of computers our ancestors used. I tried pressing the power button out of curiosity, and you can practice patience by watching the booting time (just watch ^^)In conclusion, this is a hotel that makes me feel how thankful I am for the days I have lived so far. If you are dissatisfied with life, I recommend spending just one day here.
