Not recommended Trip type: All Others "Not clean"

Reviewed by Y of Hong Kong on Jun 13, 2009

For the price I paid, I was expecting a cleaner room. At first I was appealed by the idea that it had a kitchen, enabling me to do some easy cooking. However, the plates and bowls that was kept in the cupboard was covered with some dust. Though I found a bottle by the sink which seemed to be the cleanser, but cannot be sure because there was no descriptions on it explaining what it was. It was simply a white bottle with something in it. I don't mind to rinse the cups and bowls before using but not exactly cleaning the whole thing! Besides that, the glass in the bathroom had so many dried up water mark on it. Not to mention that these are just the parts that I can tell from my eyes that are not clean. Moreover, if you are planning to stay, remember to bring your own toothbrush, shampoo and conditioner. The only thing they provide extra in the bathroom is a soap.

Recommended Trip type: Family "Good Value"

Reviewed by Andrea of Toronto on Apr 14, 2009

This hotel was reasonably priced and good value. Washers and dryers were handy. Restaurants were not on the main street but in the alleyways. Close to Domdaemun market and subway. Room temperature too warm.

Recommended Trip type: All Others "A Worth Stay"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 30, 2008

For what I paid this hotel was great. I was bumped up to a double bed room, which added value. Overall the hotel was clean and the room was clean. I liked having a kitchen which allowed me to cook, and my room had a nice view. It is located in a central area of Seoul, and with a three-subway line junction 5-minutes away at Dongdaemun Stadium it was perfect for accessing Seoul. My only problem was that the room they gave me was previously inhabited by a smoker, and the stench of smoke hit me from time to time in that room.

Not recommended Trip type: All Others "Man bekommt nicht das was man bucht und bezahlt!"

Reviewed by E of Miesbach on Apr 14, 2009

Hatte eine Familiensuite gebucht und habe ein Doppelzimmer mit 4 Betten bekommen. Als ich am nächsten Tag das Personal darauf aufmerksam gemacht habe, wurde zunächst behauptet, dass sie keine Suite hätten und die Angaben im Prospekt falsch wären. Als ich darüber nur lachen konnte kam nur ein "I am so sorry" Da ich nur 3 Tage da war, war mir meine Zeit zu schade mit den Leuten zu dikutieren und nochmal umzuziehen. Habe beim Einchecken anderer Gäste mehrmals beobachtet wie mit den Zimmern herumjongliert wurde, da das Internetterminal direkt neben der Rezeption aufgestellt ist. Zimmer selbst war sauber und ok eingerichtet. Leider ist die Anfahrt beschwerlich, weil es nicht vom Airportbus angefahren wird und das Hotel an der Infostelle am Flughafen gänzlich unbekannt war. Liegt zwar in unmittelbarer Nähe der U-Bahn Station Dongdeamun Stadion, und dem gleichnamigen Markt, würde aber künftig den Stadtteil Meyongdon oder Namdaemun wählen.
