I recently stayed for 3 nights.At first, I was worried about the insects and dirt in the room based on the reviews, but everything was fine.I didn't see any insects in the room I stayed in.The dirt was to some degree any hotel.The people at the hotel were very kind and did their best to teach me Korean even though I didn't understand it.There was also free water, which was very helpful.The location is very good, you can walk to the food stalls in Myeong-dong and the shopping mall in Dongdaemun, and the station is also nearby, so you can go to many places.It was better than I expected and I would like to stay at this hotel again next time.Depending on the time of year you stay, there may be insects. I think so.

・The location is good and you can walk from Myeong-dong, Dongdaemun, Anguk, etc. within 30 minutes. (These are all the cities I walked through during my trip)・The hotel feels old...I saw many small insects a day in the room (lol)The ceiling in the bathroom was also dirty and there were insects🥹・The inside of the drawer doesn't seem to have been cleaned either.I wiped it myself and used it.・The bed looked clean, but I was bitten by ticks on two places on my hands and one on my knee.・There was only one electricity, and there was no bedside light, which was a problem.・Having a bathtub may relieve your fatigue.I didn't use it because it was a simple beauty treatment.・I have slippers, but they are reusable so I disinfected them before using them lolBody soap, shampoo and conditioner were provided, but there were no amenities such as toothbrushes.・There were no bath towels, but multiple sports towels were provided.Since I was staying for two consecutive nights, I didn't have the room cleaned, but I left a trash can and used towels in front of the room, and they replaced them (they hung them on the door).There was a place on the first floor where you could bring one plastic bottle of water a day, there was a measuring device to measure your luggage, and the front desk staff spoke Japanese...I liked those things ^^This was the hotel we went to on our tour, but I don't think we'll use it again next time.

The location is quite good.The room was not well-cleaned, and there were beer bottles and trash that the previous guest had drunk, and there was visible dust on the table and TV stand.I wiped it with the wet tissue I had brought with me, but it was really dirty.It was inconvenient that there was no one at the front desk even at check-in time.The bathroom is spacious with a bathtub,It was nice to have all-you-can-drink water.

The location is very good.If you think of it as a hotel just for sleeping, you won't have any inconvenience.I stayed for several nights, and although the trash was thrown out and towels were changed every day, there was no cleaning.Bottled water is available at the front desk, and you are free to take it with you.

Recommended for those who want to enjoy sightseeing.The location is great.It's close to the station and you can walk to Myeong-dong.How about visiting the food stalls in Myeong-dong while enjoying a walk at night?You can't drink the water in the room, but there are plenty of free bottles of drinking water in the refrigerator on the first floor, so that's not a problem.You can flush toilet paper in the toilet in your room, so you don't have to worry about that.All the hotel employees are kind, and if you use translation apps to communicate with them, you won't have much of an inconvenience.The only thing that bothered me was that the room was quite dark, but considering the low price and convenient transportation, I don't think it's a big problem.

Beware, the only good thing is that it is located on the river, but the hotel is the biggest dump you may find. The service is bad. The reception is old men who do not respond to you and refuse to serve you.The shock was that the room was very hot and we could not sleep. We told them 3 times, but they informed us that the cooling system is from the nineteenth century and we have to use the electric fan 😂 as the control device is like a radio and it is next to the bed, there are insects in the bathroom, the mattresses are uncomfortable and the pillows are very small..I advise you to be careful not to fall into the trapIn addition, their treatment is very racistCooling control facility 🤣 We really couldn't sleepVery bad experience 😣
