    I wonder if there's any cleaning checklist for the cleaner. During our last 3 days, they didn't provide us the toiletries at all. In more than 2 occasions, I had to ask for the bottled water. Once, we found our door was not locked, shocking luckily nothing was stolen. It was very careless of the cleaner. I had to inform both receptionist and the cleaner to remember to lock the door after cleaning. They didn't even apologise for this.

    Only the location, 12 storeys Daiso building and Kim Seri halal restaurant are nearby. Bathroom serves the function regardless the price.

    We booked two double bedrooms, but only given one bathrobe, can’t fit the 24” luggage, no teaspoon and no tea/coffee sachets. For one of our rooms for the last stay, water dripping from the ceiling.

    Close proximity to Myeongdong night market, and good restaurants.

    You can feel the room is a bit dusty, with some stain on walls and dust on shelves. We tried to move two single beds to form one double bed and the floor was very dusty.

    Perfect location, just 2 mins walk from the bus stop to the airport. Nice Staff.

    Room temperature hot. No AC. I put a special request on my booking for cleanliness and an AC room, a cold temperature room because I saw some reviews they have problems with AC ,some reviews are hot ..AC not working...my request was acknowledged before arrival but only to get disappointed when we arrived the room is hot and no AC ..advised to open the window to get the room colder..maybe if it has AC for cold room temperature..it would be awesome stay👍

    Location is the best! Though I was disappointed because there was no AC so it was so hot all over the room. Need to open the window to get the room colder during night time. Other than room temperature everything was fine, cleanliness is okay though I see some dust on the floor and beds when we arrived but the next day it was okay after room service cleaning. The best part is the location. Near subway station exit 9, 3minutes walk. Can walk going to Namsan tower and take a cable car. The hotel is accessible for subway and bus transportation. near myeongdong streets where a lots of street foods choices ..I love walking around the streets. Lots of Korean street foods to enjoy during night time. Overall it was an okay stay..maybe fine for the winter and spring season ...but summer I don't think so especially if there is only a heater in the room.

    The bed and towels had stains on them. The room was very small. Had a view of the wall of the building opposite us. Bathroom was very weird. Shower was over the sink. The WiFi was not great it kept cutting off so data was used.

    The hotel itself is right in the middle of Myeongdong. The price was ok for the location.

    there was BUGS and it was very itchy but staff did nothing. I don’t want to recommend everyone to stay here. I asked staff to cancel reservations and get refund as our condition was getting worse but staff seems so sleepy and has no energy. He woke up from the room and there was no talk.

    Sent a direct message to the property that I’ve got severe asthma and allergies. Told them that I would appreciate if they cleaned up the room before my arrival. Because upon booking the hotel then I saw all the bad reviews which was strange. Tried to cancel it but albeit, it’s non refundable so alright. Told them about it but not surprisingly the room was a disaster. The floors were disgusting. The bed was way worst. Hair still on the bed, stains, used toilet paper. Just nasty.

    It’s near to a lot of shops. That’s just about the good thing there.

    The room is too small. We booked a twin room but was given a studio room that we could only open 1 luggage at a time. Water and toilette were not replenished every housekeeping and it was very dirty under the bed. Toilet is very small, there’s also bathing and basin is in the same place, and the bidet’s is just beside.

    Location. Right within Myeongdong shopping district.
