The staff here is nice, which is the only positive thing I can say about this hotel sadly. The rooms are old and dirty, this hotel is cheap for a reason. My recommendation is to avoid.

The area around is very not family oriented. It is located in non public transportation area. The room is designed in very awkward condition with bedroom and bathroom together

Although price was right and front staff were friendly the day prior didn’t do cleaning of our room and didn’t want to provide an extra blanket when requested. Overall if looking for a place to sleep great. Otherwise look elsewhere.

Staff is helpful and friendly considering the language barrier. Convenient store attached to the hotel and free drinks available in the lobby. Within walking distance of the train with a decent variety of eateries along the way.

Not as advertised
Even though website said English speaking very little English was spoken. WiFi instructions posted in elevator all in Korean. Tv lost connection. Hallway rug on floor 5 is dirty and very dark on floor. My room number was dropped from WiFi list and used google translate to explain issue. Got answer I don’t understand. Had to call another hotel or translation service for me to explain issue. Asked for directions to coex mall didn’t know. Asked about tours said no tours but a tour pamphlet in reception area. Room was very small but clean. Shower worked well.

Had to book this room last minute due to previous one having mold and completely dirty. This one is nice, the staff doesn’t speak any English which was hard. They ended up charging for my son even though the room showed on Expedia is accommodated three people. There is a small 7/11 downstairs which was nice for those late night munchies. The room is a nice size for three people. The shower has no curtains so water gets everywhere and the beds are horribly hard. Felt like I was on the floor with a small pad like in Japanese style sleeping. The beds did have electric heating which you need because the heater only has AC. Worst part is my daughter stayed back one day after having food poisoning and called me crying saying two men came into the room said “oh she’s in here!” And left then a few minutes later a woman came in and then walked out. I called the hotel and they said they have a matching that tells them when guest leave their room! Why they need this was very stretchy. I told them to stop going into my room cleaning had already been done and there was no reason for them to be in there. Again good size room, food places in walking distance. Way too far from anything touristy.
