We chose this hotel mainly for its location near the DDP, which was very convenient. Unfortunately, aside from the location, the experience was disappointing. The hotel is in poor condition, looking old and poorly maintained. Cleanliness was a major issue. Even though we put up the “please clean my room” sign every day, our room was never cleaned during our two-week stay. The bed was only made about four times, and while fresh towels were provided, no actual cleaning was done. The air-conditioning unit was dirty and triggered allergic reactions for me (I have asthma), so I had to sleep with a mask at night. The bed itself was very hard and uncomfortable, even for Korean standards. On a positive note, the front desk staff were friendly. However, the lack of proper cleaning and maintenance really affected our stay. I’ve stayed in better 2-star hotels, and I hope management addresses these issues.

I recommend

Beautiful property and perfect location. However, it might be a cultural thing but you will not experience the same kind of welcome you feel in America. People will not greet you. Room is a lil smaller than I expected and I’m an airline employee that travels the world. Room was cleaned daily and sheets were replaced. I would definitely recommend just wanted to highlight certain things so travelers are aware. Ps: I didn’t recognize that there was mold on my bathroom ceiling. I can tell they didn’t pay attention to detail when cleaning. Over all a clean property

The room was dirty, and dusty. We we arrived the lobby staff took a 10 minute phone call in the middle of us checking in and we thought that was rude. The bed was cozy, but the room was very dirty on the walls. In the bathroom the paint was peeling by the tub.

帰国前のほぼ寝るだけの為の1泊でしたがリムジンバス乗り場も近く、交通機関も近くて便利でした。浴槽はとんでもなくでかくて驚きましたが、部屋自体は少し狭く、スーツケースを広げるのが大変でした。

東大門総合市場での買い物が目的でこちらのホテルを利用しました。最寄りの東大門歴史文化公園駅は3本の路線が入っていて、交通の便はかなり良く便利でした。部屋の広さも充分で、洗面・トイレ・お風呂が広いので浴槽でシャワーを浴びてもトイレがずぶ濡れになる事はなく、用意していたシャワーカーテンも必要なかったです。ただ一つ、コンセントを刺す所が2箇所しかなかったのが不便でした。他は何も困った事はなくスタッフも日本語が話せて親切で良かったです。
