Boutique hotel k Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Laundry is cheap but it’s in the basement of the hotel and a bit awful smelling. The elevator is a tight fit. 7/11 downstairs is super convenient."

Borjomi Seoul Boutique Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"호텔이 기본적으로 주차시설이없고 방안은 매우작으며 일단 호텔방안 불이 너무 어두컴컴하고 밝은방이아니고 불빛자체가 어두운 불이라서 아주 매우 불편했고 방상태도 아주 오래된건물이라 최악이였습니다. 하나 좋은개있었다면 낮에일하는 프론트데스크 남자분이 친절하셔서 좋았습니다 The hotel basically has no parking facilities, and the room was extremely small. The lighting was the worst part—it was so dark and dim that it felt very uncomfortable. The building itself is quite old, and the overall room condition was poor. The only positive thing was the daytime front desk gentleman; he was very kind and professional."

Hostel Metro

2/10 Terrible

"Our private Booked room was given to other people. After waiting 45 minutes Then we were sent to a new hostel with same owners (its almost 1 am now) to then be given a room with dirty bedding covered in pubes a mysterious brown stain and cockroaches in the corner. Not to mention the no WiFi and smoking smells…. "
