Pros:

Had a great stay at this hotel. Mr Kim is very helpful, he even make sure to helps me with the luggage until the station since I'm a solo traveller. The best thing of the hotel is also the fact that we can order thing online cause the hotel can help receive the parcel. Totally recommended especially if you're solo traveller and looking for affordable and comfortable place.

アクセス120点、部屋は、、
Pros:

チュンムロ駅という地下鉄駅に近い、明洞、東大門、ホンデへのアクセスがめちゃくちゃ良い、終電後でも明洞から歩いて15分ほどで抜群、スタッフの方が手厚い説明と翻訳アプリを駆使してコミュニケーションを取ってくれる、直前予約しても割安で取れる

Cons:

施設は古く清掃は行き届いているが快適とは言い切れない、また室内での飲食は禁止、トイレの横にシャワーがあるので日本人にとってはややストレスに感じることも。ウォレットは無い（求め過ぎだけど）

À FUIR, DANGER SANITAIRE !!!
Pros:

Il n’y a aucun point positif dans cet établissement, toutes les photos des chambres ou de l’établissement sont fausses. Les prestations citées sont inexistantes.

Cons:

Tout, le petit déjeuner est une tranche de pain de mie sans garniture avec un café soluble. Les locaux sont lugubres et il fait un froid peu supportable. On a encore les bagages sur le dos que le gérant m’attrape le bras pour qu’on enlève les chaussures et soyons en chaussettes alors que le sol était très sale. Il a pris en photo de nos passeports et à noté les numéros de carte bancaire sur un papier. Venons en au sujet le plus important : la chambre.
Chauffage au sol vendu par le gérant mais le sol était glacial. Des savons solides communautaire, un plaisir d’avoir les mêmes savons solides que les autres. Des traces de rouille, de dégâts des eaux partout sur les murs, de la tapisserie déchirée et camouflée par des stickers. Prises électriques humides et avec de la moisissure dedans. Un chauffage d’appoint qu’il ne faut pas mettre plus de 10 minutes sous risque d’incendie (mots du gérant). Un lit plus dur que le sol avec des tâches sur les draps ou draps housses. L’isolation de la pièce est simplement du papier bulle sur les fenêtres. Le gérant se réserve le droit de rentrer vérifier si on a bien ouvert la fenêtre après le départ (super intrusif). Le gérant n’était vraiment pas surpris quand nous avons pris la décision de partir. ATTENTION ! Nous avons ouvert un litige avec BOOKING. À partir de ce moment là le gérant de ANNULÉ notre réservation en disant que nous nous sommes pas PRÉSENTÉS. ATTENTION !!
Nous avons également ouvert un litige en Corée auprès des services concernés « touristesComplaint » ceux-ci ont réalisé un contrôle sanitaire de l’établissement. Cela est pour vous dire la gravité de l’établissement, il y a un vrai risque sanitaire en y allant.

Good but some negativities
Pros:

This hotel is actually a hostel. Their breakfast is just two pieces of toast bread. There is no elevator and no window looking outside, only to inner coridors.
But the location and the hospitality of the stuff is perfect.

Uncomfortableness
Pros:

The only good thing is the location.

Cons:

The photos they show are not real. The guy who takes care of everything in the place is an impertinent. He has no manners and does not know how to converse, he only argues about everything. Annoying to explain the same thing 5 times a day knocking on your door. The breakfast is fake, there is no breakfast they leave only a bag of bread with hot water, that’s all they offer. The rooms are very cold and the duces do not always have hot water.

Pros:

the location was perfect and Mr. Kim the manager was really nice to me

Cons:

it is what you pay for, maybe not a 5 stars hotel but if you’re in a budget is really nice, has kinda everything you need and you’ve got your own room and peace

It’s as basic and budget as it comes, I made the most of it but wouldn’t rush back!
Pros:

Location good, close to street food, subway and eateries etc. WiFi, water pressure, air con all worked well. Stay had no issues, building was quiet.

Cons:

Room shabby and in desperate need of decoration. Room had a window but covered in bubble wrap as a privacy screen. Blind pretty much useless as so much light gets let in. Bring your own towel- you are given towels but they are threadbare and the size of hand towels! It’s very much a hostel style property despite now claiming to be a hotel.

Update: As seems to be a common occurrence with this place, after checking out I was then charged £30 for allegedly leaving behind a dirty comforter. Absolute nonsense and seems to be a way they like to scam people out of some extra cash after leaving the country. Beware.
