Staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was a decent size, everything was in good working order and condition, the bed was very comfortable. It was surprising that a basic amenity kit wasn't provided in the room - it was available from a vending machine for 1500 kwn. The nightly rate was a bit high for the area, but I wanted to be right by the metro station, and the hotel was literally just a crosswalk away.

I don't usually leave reviews, but I had such a bad experience that I feel compelled to share. They only gave me one key, and when I requested an additional one, they asked for a deposit. I had confirmed before booking that I could use 110v electronic devices, but when I arrived, they couldn't even distinguish between a transformer and a power outlet, and kept insisting on the deposit. When I asked if someone could help me with my heavy luggage, they sighed and initially refused, though someone else eventually helped. Despite the information stating that the ramen machine in the basement could be used until 9 p.m. on weekdays, they annoyingly told me it was closed at 8:30 p.m. and repeatedly refused service. My child wanted to try the ramen machine because of their experience with it in Korea, and it was one of the reasons we chose this hotel. However, they ruined our trip to Korea and every time we returned to the hotel, we regretted choosing it. We never want to stay at this hotel again, so we decided to stay at a different hotel for the rest of our trip.

Don't go

Outdated and dirty. Front desk feels like some cheap motel. I do not recommend anyone staying here. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of options in the area, so drive of take additional stations down for better stay.

Hotel outside appearance is deceiving. Very small room with dated cheap furniture sparse around the room. Plastic chairs and table that belong in the trash. Two hangers against the wall, and that is it; not to mention hard to control the air,. Mostly cold. Could go more. Still gave 3 out of 5 for the convenience of location.

I would stay here again.

The room layout is fairly nice and all the standard amenities are there. The bed is firm but comfortable. Netflix on TV unit was a lot more convenient than I thought it would be as the TV moved fast enough through the selections unlike some of the other hotels. The area is fairly busy, but conveniently located next to the bus station and the train/subway station for easy access. Plenty of restaurants around and there is a department store right by it. The lobby area is small, but well laid out. The staff can see you when you enter to greet.
