Pros:

Great location right next to metro station and the night market. Lots of shops and restaurants in the area. The room was comfortable and big with everything you need; bathrobes, slippers, chargers, toiletries, fridge, coffee/tea etc. Cleaned every day to high standard.

Cons:

All was good. Some may find the interior a bit dated, but we liked the look.

安定の宿泊
Pros:

とにかく立地が良い。もう30年以上ソウルでの宿泊はここです。足りないものが何もない。そして部屋も他のホテルより少し広いのが気に入っています。

Cons:

入り口のデモが更に悪化しています。コロナで社員を相当数減らした様で腹いせに入り口横に小屋を建てて大音量で曲を流し、抗議文を貼りまくっています。以前は入り口外だけでしたが、今回は入り口内にもゴミの様なプラカードっぽいものが山積みになっていました。

普通
Pros:

明洞駅からすぐでロケーションは最高でした。日本語ができるスタッフが多かったです。エステができていて宿泊者に便利。スーツケースの入る24時間まで無料ロッカーがあるのもべんり。

Cons:

建物が古いのでオートロックだけど、ドアを自分で閉めないと空きっぱなしになったり、シンクが詰まりやすかったりした。bookingドットコムで喫煙室を予約したのに全室禁煙で、喫煙所が不便なところにあったので喫煙者には勧められない。

The location was fantastic and the the staff was friendly and helpful.
Pros:

Traditional hotel services. Convenient location. The hotel staff suggested family room when I requested for adjoining room since there were 6 of us. It turned out just nice for us. One of the bathrooms was renovated to be elderly friendly which were just nice for our elderly grandma. The furniture dated but it worked just fine.

Cons:

It’s a pity that the demonstration left their things at the entrances. But good thing that their lobby is large and immediately cut-off the unpleasant sight the moment we enter the lobby.

Great location, lovely cleaning staff- however very outdated, dusty, alleged unfair employment practices
Pros:

The cleaning staff were absolutely lovely. It’s in a fantastic location. Perfect view of namsan tower. Good high tech toilets. Receptionist staff were very professional and had great English skills.

Cons:

Building is old & outdated. The entrance is very dusty, walking in you can smell the dust in the air. A lot of rubbish accumulating the entrance area. No working fan in the bathroom, I noticed mould in the ceilings. I was also concerned to learn about the protests related to the hotel's alleged unfair employment practices.

We had a very pleasant stay.
Pros:

The location was excellent. The bus stop in Myeongdong, with buses going to and from the airport, was only a few seconds’ walk away, which made transportation very convenient. The night market was also nearby. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our stay. The room was clean, comfortable and I like the bathrobe and slippers.

Cons:

The only minor issue was that the bathroom countertop was a little lower than the standard height and outside the hotel was kinda messy with the banners and protest sign, but other than that, everything was great. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.
