An experience never to be repeated

Not as I expected at all. The hotel is actually a study dormitory, a goshiwon, sometimes known as a goshitel, and is really the bare minimum. When I arrived, there was no-one at reception and when I called the cell number, the staff member spoke English, which is a plus. He told me to just go in the room, where the keys were waiting. Very noisy so I barely slept, with plasterboard walls on all sides. The bed had the wardrobe over the foot of the bed, which I managed to kick several times a night, waking myself. The bathrooms had rusty doors which didn’t lock, and the showers took forever to heat up but did provide hot water. Air conditioning barely worked, and it actually got cooler when neighbouring rooms had their units on. I left after three nights of twenty I had booked, but it was so cheap that I didn’t mind. An experience never to be repeated.

Where’s the attendant?

I have never seen someone in the front desk. All my concerns are addressed via chat apps. No one is actually there to help you in person. The common restroom/shower room is not well-maintained. I found it hard for a very slim guy like me to fit in. The location though is really good. Right next to Myeong Dong shopping area. And the other way/side is dotted with restaurants. Convenient location for touring the city.

The only thing good about the place was its location. Otherwise, there was nothing good staying at that place. It was cheap, so you lower your expectation. But still it was really bad.

The only good thing about this hotel is the perfect location, just one block away from the subway. But rooms are super small, terrible wi-fi, almost no window! and no A/C, and bathrooms are terrible.

Very hard to find. No help

Looked for an hour for this hotel. No signage from the street. Even called to find out what's next to it. Not much help. Never saw any live person running the front desk. So couldn't ask for any info on the area, restaurants, shopping, etc. Had a small personal heater for room. Warmed up the room pretty well. Hard mattress so not very comfortable. Near subway station, mostly quiet. Price to store your stuff is reasonable. Basically you are left to your own laurels. Check out, no one there, so tossed room key in office desk.

The Story? horror story..

I can't believe this place got 2.5 stars. and the ratings were unbelievably high. I got a very cheap rate on expedia and thought because of the reviews it would be ok. The place was dark and smelled terrible. There is stale air and only occasional air conditioning which you can't control. The bathrooms are shared for the entire place and while you sit on the john your knees hit the door, so it's not comfortable. The service is not existent, as no one was at the front desk for most of the time. there was a sign that the english speaker was in another country, but when I sent them an email there was no response. Technically, the place was clean but it's spooky and the air is very stale. The room is small and your feet are underneath an overhanging cupboard. Very little amenities, one small packet of soap and shampoo the first day I arrived. Didn't see anyone at front desk the rest of my 3 days so I couldn't complain or ask for more towels, soap, etc. My friend stayed at another place with only 2 star rating and it was so much better it's ridiculous. It had the feel of a prison from the 80's to be honest.

Good stay

5 minutes walk away from Myungdong station. It was very convenient for me since it is near everything especially if you will go there when it`s cold. It`s not good walking long in the cold going to the subway station which is why I rated this as good. For the room, it`s quite nice even though I got a room with no bathroom in it and got to share with others, it`s clean and well maintained.

スタッフ不在　

チェックインは、フロントにスタッフが不在。 LINE電話等で対応と張り紙がありましたが、Wi-Fiパスワードを入れても状態悪く不安定で、連絡とれない。 結果、ゲストハウスを利用している韓国人のお客さんに、連絡をとってもらい、入室。ゲストハウスの説明 無い。部屋に、暖房が無いためコートを着用して一晩過ごした。 ２泊予約しましたが、結局１泊のみで、退室。

糟透了的住宿

宜必思飯店旁的路走進去，一樓是大樓的大門玻璃，要推門走進裡面才看到通往2樓旅館的樓梯。如果看地圖上的圖標，就是宜必思飯店旁的第二條街，那會走到後面，什麼也找不到。臨時入住，網頁寫服務到01:00，但21點去的時候櫃台沒有人，現場留WeChat及Line聯絡方式(印象中還有whatsapp)，只能以這種方式來通知入住，WeChat回覆較快，但Line過了3小時才讀取了訊息！如果沒有通訊app(WeChat)那麼您會求助無門，無法入住。廁所沒有沐浴乳、洗髮精，沒有毛巾、吹風機(得向櫃台借，放在201房旁邊的雜物堆上)、飲水機、房內的垃圾桶。清潔度…很髒，並且廁所小到快無法轉身，洗澡時非常痛苦。可以行李寄存，但花快2000台幣一晚是這個品質，非常不值得，不推薦。

2度と行かないパターンです

まず、従業員がほぼ居ません。私はたまたま遭遇出来ましたが、1時間程あとから来た黒人客は私をスタッフと思い話しかけてくる程で、なんと翌昼チェックアウトの時に彼は入り口前でフードを被って寝ていました…。 靴は入り口で脱ぐスタイルですが中履き(ゴムサンダル)は2～3人分しか無いようです。窓もシャワートイレも無い部屋で週末ミョンドン価格8000円程と、空気も腐っててかなりキツいです。共用トイレはシャワー室でもあるので足拭きマット（べちょべちょで水虫確定）を通過せねばならず、トイレは我慢しました。男性用は2室ともカギが壊れてかかりません。 他国言語サービスとありますが皆無です。スタッフ不在時はフロントの電話でどこかにかけると対応してくれるらしいですが、韓国語オンリーのようで、先述の黒人さんはお手上げであったようです。かわいそうに… 通常価格で4000円弱のようですが、それでも完全にアウトです。

場所はいいです

明洞、世宗ホテルの裏側をちょっと入ったところなので、利便性は高いです。 バスルーム付きの部屋を予約したものの、設備が壊れたとのことでチェックイン前に電話を頂き、キャンセルでもいいよと言われたのですが、他を探すのも面倒なので共用バスルームの部屋に変更しました。 部屋自体はそこそこ清潔でよかったですが、共用のトイレ兼バスルームの一つが鍵がかからない状態、もう一つはゴミ入れからトイレットペーパーがあふれている状態でしたので、シャワーはあきらめて、濡れタオルで体をふく程度で耐えました。笑 日本の女性であの共用バスルームを使えるのは、相当旅慣れた方だと思います。 スタッフさんは英語で接してくれたのでコミュニケーションに困ることはないと思います。 場所柄、料金的にも格安ですので、次回はバスルーム付きの部屋に泊まってみたいと思います。
