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.

Pros:

A unica coisa boa era a localização

Cons:

Não gostei de nada. Quarto e casa de banho muito pequenos, sem espaço para malas, sem armarios. Não tem elevador e as escadas são estreitas. A cozinha era um canto com microondas, mas sem espaço para comer fora do quarto. Dentro do quarto não se podia comer. Logo que chegamos foi-nos pedido para assinar um documento que continha uma serie de restrições, como tirar a maquilhagem para não sujar lençóis e toalhas, nao ter comida nos quartos, não deixar janelas abertas. Tudo isso dava multa que nos debitavam diretamente do cartão de pagamento. O encarregado estava sempre a bater à nossa porta. Uma das vezes não respondemos e ele ia entrar quando estava a dormir. Como viajava com outra menina ficámos um pouco assustadas. Foi o pior sitio onde fiquei e não aconselho a ninguém. O preço é muito alto para o tipo de alojamento.

残念だった
Pros:

安価
日本語が多少通じる

Cons:

タオルは1人1日1枚を使用できると言いながら不足していたこと。共有スペースに濡れたタオルが干した状態になっていたこと。管理室に管理人がおらず、セキュリティが疎かだったこと。トイレとシャワーの共有スペースが汚かったこと。申し込み時に朝食付きと書いていましたが、冷蔵庫に角食パンがあるだけでがっかり。仕方がなく外へ食べに行きました。

Rozhodně nikdy víc
Pros:

Jediné co se mi líbilo byla vyhřívaná postel. Bez té by jsme tam nepřežily

Cons:

Zima na pokoji, to ze majitel nám furt otevíral okno kdyz jsme rano odešly a kdyz sme večer přišly byla zima na pokoji. Nevynesené koše, vlasy v koupelně, flekaté povlečení.

Pratique mais pas agréable
Pros:

L’emplacement est très pratique, on est à 5min du métro et 20min à pieds de myeongdong

Cons:

Le lit était très dur et la salle de bain vraiment petite, le miroir avait des traces de rouillés ce n’était pas très agréable et les serviettes étaient vieilles et parfois trouées. Le gérant de l’hôtel nous a mis un peu mal à l’aise mon amie et moi car il surveillai tous les allez retour dans l’hôtel, le jour du départ il m’a même envoyé un message sur booking pour savoir où nous étions alors qu’on avait juste à déposé les clé à la réception en partant peu importe l’heure, ce qu’on a fait… Il est aussi écrit petit déjeuner inclus mais c’est juste du café soluble et des tranches de pain de mie.
