Lovely people, great location.. it doesn’t look like the photos on booking.com
Pros:

Location and staff were good

Cons:

It is a hostel not a hotel!! Building was falling apart, damp. Along the floor it was taped up with duck tape.

Désagréable
Pros:

Je découvre une histoire de caution à payer au préalable avant d'intégrer la chambre. Absence de service de nettoyage, le climateur après 20min fait un ronflement, le lit fait su bruit, les carreaux du sol de la douche ont des infiltrations. Petit déjeuner inclus, un grossier mensonge, le gérant nous dit qu'il y a du pain et du café, c'est à cela que se résumerai le petit déjeuner que l'établissement facture aux clients mais que je n'ai pas vu durant nos deux jours. Bien heureusement que nous n'avons payé que 2 jours.

Pros:

I have nothing to comments, however the situation is not expected and I have to pay additional cost for staying
Which I think the staff is not honest to solve my problem but to ask for extra money

Definitely would book again for the convience and security. I felt ok walking around as a female geriatric solo explorer
Pros:

This property is close to everything. Airport bus, blue & orange metro lines and all the bus stops. You can get to anywhere from Rainbow hotel. It has really good restaurants, coffee, GS25 nearby so i didn’t need to go far to find good international food options. 30 min walk to Mymendong. I love the central hub location to everything.

Cons:

It had a lift for luggage. I wish it had an elevator. I got good exercises walking up the stairs.

Rainbow 🌈 is like a HomePort you can feel comfortable in. Many peoply from Other Countries stay here too. For the price
Pros:

Familiar surroundings that are conveniently located to everything whether walking, Buses, train. Mr. Kim & Edda were wonderful to speak to, with of without Papago to aid in any language issues. Rainbow has Air Conditioning for the humidity & typical multi-windows to aid in sleeping with -long working Seoul- noises. Also free Wifi (for writing) & inspiring my creativity.

schlechtes Preis/leistungsverhältnis bei 55 Euro pro Nacht
Pros:

Die Unterkunft lag in der Nähe der Metro und am Rand von dem angesagtem Viertel Myeongdong. Das Zimmer mit Dusche/WC und TV war o.k.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war miserabel. In der Hotelbeschreibung bei Booking war Frühstücksbüfett angegeben. Es gab aber nur Toastbrot und Pulverkaffee. Der Mitarbeiter erzählte mir, das man in Korea keine Marmelade kennt, was gelogen war, denn in meinen 2 anderen Unterkünften, die 20 bzw. 30 Euro pro Nacht günstiger waren,gab es Butter, Marmelade Erdnussbutter Saft und Cerealien, Es wurde auch alternativ kein koreanisches Frühstück mit Reis oder Nudel angeboten. Hinzu kam, dass in dem Frühstücksbereich Unordnung herrschte; u.a. Wäsche auf den Stühlen lag.
