Athene Motel

건물이 오래된거 같았는데 내부는 깨끗했고 겨울이라 그런지 방안이 약간 추웠슴

La cuisine, lavage et séchage de vêtement gratuit, chauffage au sol, emplacement proche de tout, métro, bus

Couloirs très froid en hiver

Complimentary and varied Breakfast ingredients, kind staff, well equipped communal kitchen with washing facilities and reusable cutlery.

la ubicación

todo muy antiguo y oscuro, sin personal visible

Lovely staff, good English, perfect bed

Free breakfast, washing machine and dryer. Plenty of reusable cutlery, dishes, pots and pans. Very close to metro station, easy access to train station and airport. 24/7 staff on duty.

Nothing

The place was stinking like someone just smoked. It was dark and scary. But I guess it was okay for the price, but it seemed like a brothel

Proximité arret de bus et station de métro.

It is what it is. And they gave us free condoms.

The room smelled like tobacco smoke.

Breakfast was advertised. Rooms were as advertised. No complaints.

Great value - a double bed room and private bathroom with amenities and furniture for the price of a dorm bed. Also check-in anytime and free laundry and a breakfast (self cook) includes eggs. Bed was comfortable, window to outside, walkable to subway. Did not detect smoking smell. Clean and quiet.

Reception is impersonal (only sign that it’s a love hotel).

Ничего

Очень грязно, номера прокуреные, вонючие. Вообще ужасно.

Room was spacious, there's a 7/11 at a 1 min walking distance and an ATM that accepts global cards in front of it. I stayed on the second floor and I had a microwave and a water dispenser close to my room, useful for when you want to eat in your room and heat up your food.

The sheets had weird stains on them and considering what this motel is for I was quite concerned, they were also ripped and some parts were sewed back together, is it THAT expensive to just buy new ones? The bathroom towels also had yellow stains, there were a used soap bar and a opened toothpaste in the bathroom and the toilet roll was almost over when I checked in, which means they don't change it between each customer. They removed the AC remote from the room so I couldn't turn it on, considering the 35° and 80% humidity that could have been hell if I didn't turn it on with the power button, however, since I didn't have the remote and the temperature was set very low I couldn't leave it on for more than 10 minutes without freezing.

Mala experiencia en general. Habitación amplia y silenciosa excepto por el ruido del A/C y del frigorífico. Cama cómoda, sábanas rotas y con manchas antiguas. La relación con el personal es inexistente. Te atienden al llegar a través de una pequeña ventanilla por donde sólo ves las manos de alguien pidiéndote el pasaporte y la tarjeta de crédito. Muy desagradable.

Рядом есть все необходимое. Останавливаемся здесь не в первый раз, устраивает соотношение цена-качество. На каждом этаже кулер с водой, есть завтрак.

Не очень чисто, на столе и тумбочке пыль, в ванной комнате тоже не очень приятно. Кондиционер работает очень шумно.

Appartement confortable et fonctionnel.

Un peu loin du centre même si le métro passe a côté.

Staff were helpful, gave a welcome pack, offered a room cleaning service and gave us a new room when we had a complaint. However, this place seems to be a love motel. The rooms are shabby and the place smells of smoke. Cannot recommend it.

Location is OK

Paid for breakfast, didn’t get any…

Good price for the value, kitchen and washing machine very practical

Could be more clean and modern. Strong smell of cold tobacco in some bedroom

Overall, fairly pleasant.Typical "love motel" but with breakfast (if you're not vegetarian, there are decent offerings: toast, eggs, ramyeon DIY). The bidet toilet was nice. Location is fine, near subway and a nice park nearby.

The view was just a parking lot. Nothing really special nearby. There was an ashtray in the hall with the smell of smoke.

Nice and clean

Not far away from Metro station, the toilet has bidet

Nothing

I admire the hospitality and Staff Profesionalism

None

They provide excellent breakfast n all facilities needed included bidet, fridge. The staff is really helpful, help us to book taxi etc. Very nice for backpacker's experience

A bit far from our convention centre. No iron to iron the clothes, maybe just 1 at communal would help

Great customer service & place

I forgot my Ipad. They informed me immediately. And even sent it back to Seoul.

Bus and train stops were nearby

Next to busy street so quite noisy. Bit old. Reception was a small peep in the wall.

Close proximity to many bars and restaurants

Bathroom Size

bed is extremely hard, it felt like sleeping on the floor

Location is good, near bus and metro. Street is quiet. Convenience store nearby. Free breakfast was adequate.

It's quite dingy. Although it's not dirty, there are a lot of things that need updating or fixing. There was a rusting pipe in my bathroom and the walls haven't been repainted in a long time. Staff was behind a tiny window, suggesting something a bit shady, although I don't suspect it really is.

Friendly staff helped us with transport bookings.

It's nice to have a common facility (public kitchen, laundry/dryer) with time constraints other than accommodation. Breakfast is self-contained, including bread, eggs, cereal, milk, coffee, and ramen.

The facilities in the accommodation room are very old-fashioned, and old TVs and set-top wiring are exposed to the mess.

The price is very good. You get breakfast, free laundry. The bed can warm itself up. I didn’t use the wi-fi because it was too slow. But a great place to stay at. It is a bit on the old side, but then again it has a good price.

It was quite old and didn’t seem like maintained well

Not very clean

Great value for price! Breakfast was simple but good: eggs, bread, cereal, juice and coffee. Subway station is nearby, easy check-in and check-out. Good facilities, water and microwave in the hallway and free laundry.

The pillows were quite hard. The windows are pretty thin, so some noise and cold came in from there. Also even though the hotel is non-smoking, there was someone smoking probably in the room next to us and the smell came to our room.

Great breakfast, friendly staff, awesome amenities, convenient location

Nothing really

The facilities were amazing, food was provided for breakfast, instant coffee by the truckloads and a washing machine and dryer to be used for free. This is one of the best value accommodations I have stayed in, in South Korea

I can’t think of anything major that I didn’t like

How close it was to the metro

Nothing

Spacious clean room. Free laundry and diy breakfast.

Nothing in particular

It was a great hotel, with a nice, clean breakfast area and laundry facilities. They replaced our water bottles and towels each day. Very happy with the space.

A few things in our room weren't perfectly clean (found a few hairs and a sticky spot in the floor).

A nice kitchen area, and good laundry facilities. Also very friendly and attentive cleaning staff.

The room and corridor smelt strongly of cigarette smoke.

Be careful - it is a sex motel. You literally get condoms when you check in

It is located in the Sangmu district with plenty of shopping and entertainment nearby. Walking distance to numerous restaurants and cafes. They provide breakfast but I opted for local food instead. It is quiet and close to the Uncheon subway station as well as many bus routes and the Uncheon reservoir which is a gorgeous place to go for a walk and see nature in the middle of the city.

The bathroom was not very clean. It needs a good spray down with bleach.

The breakfast offer was excellent, although I couldn't figure out how to use the induction stove so I wasn't able to take advantage of the eggs. Two laundry machines and a dryer, with detergent supplied, was fantastic. I was there for a week, so used these machines a couple of times, very handy and appreciated. Staff were helpful when I needed a taxi. Convenience stores only a short walk away. Starbucks is around the corner.

I have trouble getting in and out of a tub, so a walk-in shower would be better. English language instructions for the induction cook-top and the laundry machines would be useful.

Nearby subway

I think people can smoke in the rooms, because it smelled like smoke. And I think it’s a sex motel.

The hotel is pretty close to Downtown and further travel destinations. I was allowed to leave my big luggage at the hotel while traveling for a few days at Seoul before coming back to stay this night.

The room I got this time had a bad quality. The hotel leaves at first the doors of the room open so that I ended up with mosquitos in my room, at night. Besides that most of the lights were not working at the light switch and even in general. The bathroom is pretty old, but besides the stains pretty okay. My sink was a bit leaking (at the side) and the toilet seat needed to be lifted to close bathroom door.

The motel is at a nice location and has an elevator. My room was spacious and came with a face mask, body and shower lotions. They serve free breakfast (cereals, toast with strawberry jam, milk, tea, coffee, orange juice, and eggs/ ramen). At the same room it is even possible to wash and dry the laundry for free. The hotel even allowed me to keep my luggage for a few days there by storing it at the breakfast room.

My room was close to the breakfast and laundry room so that I could hear the sounds in the morning and at night. The walls are pretty thin so that I heard new arriving guests walking through the hallway. Besides that is the door of the room at first opened so that a lot of mosquitos got into my room. The bathroom is spacious but not the most modern one - having a bath tub with stains at there. Note: The personal can’t speak English - but it works with Papago as a Translator.

Good value. Even though the hotel entrance was modest, the inside was modern and clean. The room was comfortable and decent size. Hotel staff kindly lent me a USB charger because I left mine at home. They gave a complimentary full toiletries kit on arrival in addition to the soaps already in the room. Breakfast was simple and "OK", not many places give any breakfast.

The location was fine for transport links and there is a good selection of restaurants nearby.

The bathroom needs refurbishing and the noise from the metalworking outside the room was a bit annoying.

- although in a city center, it was quiet - you could prepare your own breakfast (from the given ingredients) - quite spacious bathroom

The overall atmosphere of this place is weird. Upon arriving, you don't even see the staff, as the key is passed through a hole in a wall (no window, whatsoever). In the room there was a remaining stench of cigarettes. But what made me really uncomfortable was that we were given a package with body lotion, toothbrushes, and... condoms. It was really weird, especially considering that we were staying in a twin bed room. In the room there was also half-used shaving cream and hair gel for men, a dirty hair comb, and on the wall there were hung bathrobes. The overall vibe made it feel like a love hotel, where anonymity is needed. We haven't seen any other living people during our stay there. Only afterwards did I get to know that motels generally are in Korea associated with secret encounters sexually oriented, and it can be felt while staying there. On another note, although the bedsheets looked clean, the rest of the room left doubts about its cleanliness, especially the hair dryer and the desk.

Really good place

For a motel it was very good! It was cheap and it is noticeable why but it is a perfect stay for a couple of days. The room is very clean and broad. You have everything you need there and they provide the basic necessities. There was also breakfast! don't expect one as in a hotel but for me I was just happy to have something to eat before my day.

I didn't really liked that there was no one at the counter. Only when I arrived to let me check in. Afterwards there was nobody to be seen. It didn't bother me that much but sometimes I just felt like I didn't had a place to go to if I had a question

Everything went well with my stay at Athene Motel. Its near the May 18 Memorial Park and Uncheon Reservoir, there are 2 bus stops near and 1 train station that makes it accessible. The room is clean and spacious for one person. The hosts are kind, they let me store my luggage even after check out and come back for it. The free breakfast is basic but good. Recommended when you go to Gwangju.

Well lighted corridors but over all its okay.

Super good place

It was convenient, and provided basic necessities such as bathroom, breakfast, and a washing machine

Most of the facilities are only allowed to be used for a very short period of time

Strategically located near Uncheon Station. Cute breakfast station

Bed is not comfortable, linen gave me some harsh rashes. Level 5 looks super creepy. Room looks super outdated. Clearly a love motel. I wouldn’t stay here again

The breakfast

The parking is little small

Room was spacious, convenient location to cafes, resturants and Uncheon station. My room was cleaned everyday which was amazing.

Didn’t get a proper bath towel. Only had small hand towels.

There was available parking and when we requested a refund they gave us one right away. That was all. Did not like anything else.

This is also a pay by the hour hotel but is not advertised this way on booking.com. Very disturbed by the whole experience.

The owner was very helpful. She even carry my heavy suitcase to get a taxi across the road.

Nothing that i can complain about

Very nice Motel. Clean and safe for traveller or couples A lot of welcome gifts from the motel.
