Location and staff were good
It is a hostel not a hotel!! Building was falling apart, damp. Along the floor it was taped up with duck tape.
Je découvre une histoire de caution à payer au préalable avant d'intégrer la chambre. Absence de service de nettoyage, le climateur après 20min fait un ronflement, le lit fait su bruit, les carreaux du sol de la douche ont des infiltrations. Petit déjeuner inclus, un grossier mensonge, le gérant nous dit qu'il y a du pain et du café, c'est à cela que se résumerai le petit déjeuner que l'établissement facture aux clients mais que je n'ai pas vu durant nos deux jours. Bien heureusement que nous n'avons payé que 2 jours.
Staff is nice, polite helpful. The place the hotel is horrible, filthy, absolutely tiny, with not even a proper shower. Very costly for the price you get.

I have nothing to comments, however the situation is not expected and I have to pay additional cost for staying Which I think the staff is not honest to solve my problem but to ask for extra money
Beliggenheden
Sengene, vi skulle sel sørge for alting
This property is close to everything. Airport bus, blue & orange metro lines and all the bus stops. You can get to anywhere from Rainbow hotel. It has really good restaurants, coffee, GS25 nearby so i didn’t need to go far to find good international food options. 30 min walk to Mymendong. I love the central hub location to everything.
It had a lift for luggage. I wish it had an elevator. I got good exercises walking up the stairs.
Mr. Kim is incredibly welcoming! He is easily the friendliest owner and front desk staff I have ever come across.
Die Unterkunft lag in der Nähe der Metro und am Rand von dem angesagtem Viertel Myeongdong. Das Zimmer mit Dusche/WC und TV war o.k.
Das Frühstück war miserabel. In der Hotelbeschreibung bei Booking war Frühstücksbüfett angegeben. Es gab aber nur Toastbrot und Pulverkaffee. Der Mitarbeiter erzählte mir, das man in Korea keine Marmelade kennt, was gelogen war, denn in meinen 2 anderen Unterkünften, die 20 bzw. 30 Euro pro Nacht günstiger waren,gab es Butter, Marmelade Erdnussbutter Saft und Cerealien, Es wurde auch alternativ kein koreanisches Frühstück mit Reis oder Nudel angeboten. Hinzu kam, dass in dem Frühstücksbereich Unordnung herrschte; u.a. Wäsche auf den Stühlen lag.
Familiar surroundings that are conveniently located to everything whether walking, Buses, train. Mr. Kim & Edda were wonderful to speak to, with of without Papago to aid in any language issues. Rainbow has Air Conditioning for the humidity & typical multi-windows to aid in sleeping with -long working Seoul- noises. Also free Wifi (for writing) & inspiring my creativity.
This facility is more like a hostel. Too basic to be called a hotel
Everything about the place is not what I will call a hotel. Very very basic and limited space
price, location

Very nice staff. 😊🇰🇷
Location : easy access to train and bus. Walking distance to myeongdong shopping area. Lots of good restaurant around. Host Mr Kim is very nice
No elevator, small bathromm, ac brokedown ,
Nothing mold on the bathroom and a sewage smell in the room the whole time
Mold on the bathroom and sewage smell in the room. No real towels to dry off you get a small paper thin towel
Accessible to nearby metro and bus terminus, walking distance to Myeondong Night market and Namdaemun Traditional market. Mr Kim the caretaker was very kind and always checking if I'm ok and comfortable.
Can improve on the building appearance from outside, it needs painting.
Nothing. This was the worst experience of my life.
Everything. It was really disgusting how it is a scam thar is allowed to run and bookings didn't help or take responsability. There was literally piss in the toilet when we got our "compensatory upgrade" (that was not even close to a compensation)
Good service and friendly team
Cercanía
No recomendaría este hotel pese a su buena ubicación cerca del centro. Tuvimos un problema con nuestro vuelo y llegamos un día más tarde, avisando previamente al hotel. Aun así, además de cobrarnos la noche correspondiente (obviamente no esperábamos una devolución hasta ahí todo bien) , nos aplicaron un cargo adicional que supuestamente luego el día que llegamos nos dicen que era por un “upgrade” de habitación, algo que sinceramente no se reflejaba en absoluto en la calidad de la misma, y que además previamente cuando me puse en contacto lo que me dijeron fue que tenía que pagar una noche más y además el cargo adicional. Además, la reserva realizada a través de Booking incluía desayuno, pero en ningún momento se nos informó sobre este servicio ni se nos indicó cómo acceder a él, por lo que no pudimos disfrutarlo. La habitación era antigua, con camas incómodas y toallas muy pequeñas (tipo de manos) e incluso algunas en mal estado, con agujeros. Y algunas manchadas. Nada acorde con lo que esperábamos. Por otro lado, el trato y las normas del hotel resultaron bastante incómodos. Insisten constantemente en que no puedes manchar toallas (las cuales ya están manchadas rotas y encima son pequeñas) o sábanas (bajo amenaza de cargos), no puedes apoyar la maleta en la cama ni comer en la habitación. Además, no hay opción de poner un cartel de “no molestar”, y el personal entra en la habitación sin previo aviso con la excusa de recoger la basura, lo que afecta claramente a la privacidad. También están muy pendientes de lo que haces en todo momento, a ver si entras al pasillo descalzo o no, o que si dejas la ventana de la habitación abierta como te piden o no. Llega a ser incómodo obviamente sentirte observado como en el colegio a ver si haces todo bien, tienes miedo a que te cobren un extra por todo. En general, una experiencia poco agradable por la falta de privacidad, el exceso de normas, la falta de información sobre servicios incluidos.
La ubicación, esta muy cerca de una zona llena de actividades y vida nocturna
Las fotos que publican nada que ver con la realidad. De desayuno eran dos panes y un sobre de cafe, nada mas. Muy mal trato del empleado y muy sucio el lugar
La peggior esperienza che ho mai avuto.
Tutto.
Convenient for the area and central city. Close to restaurants and coffee shops
Very hard bed
Had a great stay at this hotel. Mr Kim is very helpful, he even make sure to helps me with the luggage until the station since I'm a solo traveller. The best thing of the hotel is also the fact that we can order thing online cause the hotel can help receive the parcel. Totally recommended especially if you're solo traveller and looking for affordable and comfortable place.
チュンムロ駅という地下鉄駅に近い、明洞、東大門、ホンデへのアクセスがめちゃくちゃ良い、終電後でも明洞から歩いて15分ほどで抜群、スタッフの方が手厚い説明と翻訳アプリを駆使してコミュニケーションを取ってくれる、直前予約しても割安で取れる
施設は古く清掃は行き届いているが快適とは言い切れない、また室内での飲食は禁止、トイレの横にシャワーがあるので日本人にとってはややストレスに感じることも。ウォレットは無い(求め過ぎだけど)
Ubicacion y personal muy amable!!muy prolijo y aseado!
Il n’y a aucun point positif dans cet établissement, toutes les photos des chambres ou de l’établissement sont fausses. Les prestations citées sont inexistantes.
Tout, le petit déjeuner est une tranche de pain de mie sans garniture avec un café soluble. Les locaux sont lugubres et il fait un froid peu supportable. On a encore les bagages sur le dos que le gérant m’attrape le bras pour qu’on enlève les chaussures et soyons en chaussettes alors que le sol était très sale. Il a pris en photo de nos passeports et à noté les numéros de carte bancaire sur un papier. Venons en au sujet le plus important : la chambre. Chauffage au sol vendu par le gérant mais le sol était glacial. Des savons solides communautaire, un plaisir d’avoir les mêmes savons solides que les autres. Des traces de rouille, de dégâts des eaux partout sur les murs, de la tapisserie déchirée et camouflée par des stickers. Prises électriques humides et avec de la moisissure dedans. Un chauffage d’appoint qu’il ne faut pas mettre plus de 10 minutes sous risque d’incendie (mots du gérant). Un lit plus dur que le sol avec des tâches sur les draps ou draps housses. L’isolation de la pièce est simplement du papier bulle sur les fenêtres. Le gérant se réserve le droit de rentrer vérifier si on a bien ouvert la fenêtre après le départ (super intrusif). Le gérant n’était vraiment pas surpris quand nous avons pris la décision de partir. ATTENTION ! Nous avons ouvert un litige avec BOOKING. À partir de ce moment là le gérant de ANNULÉ notre réservation en disant que nous nous sommes pas PRÉSENTÉS. ATTENTION !! Nous avons également ouvert un litige en Corée auprès des services concernés « touristesComplaint » ceux-ci ont réalisé un contrôle sanitaire de l’établissement. Cela est pour vous dire la gravité de l’établissement, il y a un vrai risque sanitaire en y allant.
This hotel is actually a hostel. Their breakfast is just two pieces of toast bread. There is no elevator and no window looking outside, only to inner coridors. But the location and the hospitality of the stuff is perfect.
The location was perfect.
매내져님이 아주 친절했습니다 전철 정류장이 편리했습니다 주변에 음식점도 다양하고 가격도 저렴
없음
The only good thing is the location.
The photos they show are not real. The guy who takes care of everything in the place is an impertinent. He has no manners and does not know how to converse, he only argues about everything. Annoying to explain the same thing 5 times a day knocking on your door. The breakfast is fake, there is no breakfast they leave only a bag of bread with hot water, that’s all they offer. The rooms are very cold and the duces do not always have hot water.
localização ótima e de fácil acesso a metro/trem
café da manhã e sem elevador (fiquei no 5º andar subindo e descendo pela escada)
did not get breakfast -the kitchen was dirty
Facility old - not well taken care of
Perfekte lage. Personal war super freundlich Lift für gepäck
Mir persönlich war es zu kalt. Kein lift für Personen
the location was perfect and Mr. Kim the manager was really nice to me
it is what you pay for, maybe not a 5 stars hotel but if you’re in a budget is really nice, has kinda everything you need and you’ve got your own room and peace
Location good, close to street food, subway and eateries etc. WiFi, water pressure, air con all worked well. Stay had no issues, building was quiet.
Room shabby and in desperate need of decoration. Room had a window but covered in bubble wrap as a privacy screen. Blind pretty much useless as so much light gets let in. Bring your own towel- you are given towels but they are threadbare and the size of hand towels! It’s very much a hostel style property despite now claiming to be a hotel. Update: As seems to be a common occurrence with this place, after checking out I was then charged £30 for allegedly leaving behind a dirty comforter. Absolute nonsense and seems to be a way they like to scam people out of some extra cash after leaving the country. Beware.
Lage. U-Bahn nähe
Frühstück, ist nur par Toast und Kaffee oder Tea, kein richtige Frühstück.
The location is really nice and the host was very polite!
Location
Facility conditions
Nothing at all! Dismal state of accommodation. False advertising. Very poor customer service
Nothing at all! Dismal state of accommodation. False advertising. Very poor customer service
A unica coisa boa era a localização
Não gostei de nada. Quarto e casa de banho muito pequenos, sem espaço para malas, sem armarios. Não tem elevador e as escadas são estreitas. A cozinha era um canto com microondas, mas sem espaço para comer fora do quarto. Dentro do quarto não se podia comer. Logo que chegamos foi-nos pedido para assinar um documento que continha uma serie de restrições, como tirar a maquilhagem para não sujar lençóis e toalhas, nao ter comida nos quartos, não deixar janelas abertas. Tudo isso dava multa que nos debitavam diretamente do cartão de pagamento. O encarregado estava sempre a bater à nossa porta. Uma das vezes não respondemos e ele ia entrar quando estava a dormir. Como viajava com outra menina ficámos um pouco assustadas. Foi o pior sitio onde fiquei e não aconselho a ninguém. O preço é muito alto para o tipo de alojamento.
Jediné co se mi líbilo byla vyhřívaná postel. Bez té by jsme tam nepřežily
Zima na pokoji, to ze majitel nám furt otevíral okno kdyz jsme rano odešly a kdyz sme večer přišly byla zima na pokoji. Nevynesené koše, vlasy v koupelně, flekaté povlečení.
安価 日本語が多少通じる
タオルは1人1日1枚を使用できると言いながら不足していたこと。共有スペースに濡れたタオルが干した状態になっていたこと。管理室に管理人がおらず、セキュリティが疎かだったこと。トイレとシャワーの共有スペースが汚かったこと。申し込み時に朝食付きと書いていましたが、冷蔵庫に角食パンがあるだけでがっかり。仕方がなく外へ食べに行きました。
L’emplacement est très pratique, on est à 5min du métro et 20min à pieds de myeongdong
Le lit était très dur et la salle de bain vraiment petite, le miroir avait des traces de rouillés ce n’était pas très agréable et les serviettes étaient vieilles et parfois trouées. Le gérant de l’hôtel nous a mis un peu mal à l’aise mon amie et moi car il surveillai tous les allez retour dans l’hôtel, le jour du départ il m’a même envoyé un message sur booking pour savoir où nous étions alors qu’on avait juste à déposé les clé à la réception en partant peu importe l’heure, ce qu’on a fait… Il est aussi écrit petit déjeuner inclus mais c’est juste du café soluble et des tranches de pain de mie.
The location was great and it was very affordable. AC was nice and strong!
The lobby in the pictures doesn’t exist. It’s a small hotel with public access. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. There’s no shower, but only a hand held shower head in the bathroom you can use to shower in the same room with the toilet and sink.
Bon emplacement et bon rapport qualité prix
J’ai été déçu par le petit déjeuner et le fait de devoir déjeuner dans des espaces très réduits. Le fait d’être au dessus d’un restaurant n’aide pas car les odeurs de nourriture avaient tendance à remonter. Pour le prix du sejour, la résidence était correcte pour les voyageurs qui ne viennent que pour y dormir
If I could give 0 star I would. Kim the person in charge a.k.a owner too didn’t acknowledge our booking and made us pay for another payment even offered a discount without us asking (like he does this all the time) he didn’t issued us an Official Receipt which was super red flag but we had no choice its late and its cold (which he took advantage and he knows it well)
ロケーション、価格
タオルが真っ白ではなかった点
A 10 min à pied de la station de métro et du quartier de Myeong-dong. Equipements fonctionnels Bon rapport qualité prix. Pour budget limité et personnes pas trop exigeants
Lit très inconfortable et dur
Un matelas très très dur Des serviettes de bain minuscules et jaunâtres Un petit déjeuner déplorable si toutefois on peut dire que 2 tranches de pain de mie par personne constituent bien un petit déjeuner. Un accueil terrible de la part de l'hôtelier, avec un anglais plus qu'approximatif. Une liste de règles exhaustive à lire en arrivant. Pas de service de ménage effectif. Obligation de donner une carte de crédit en plus du passeport au check in ( l'hôtelier se permet ainsi de prélever directement sur votre carte en cas de tâches sur les draps, check out tardif ... ) Et le pire, l'hôtelier se permet de rentrer dans votre chambre sans raison valable pendant votre absence. Sans certitude qu'il s'agit de vol, un de mes souvenirs de voyage a disparu de mes affaires; comment ne pas avoir de soupçons envers l'hôtelier quand vous le retrouver dans votre chambre ( PLUSIEURS JOURS D'AFFILÉE) en rentrant d'excursions ?! Hébergement à éviter à tout prix. L'atmosphère y est plus qu'étrange, le fait de devoir donner son numéro de carte bleue est particulièrement anxiogène ,le climat ne met pas du tout en confiance. Je n'ai jamais laissé de commentaire sur un hébergement, mais je partage cette expérience car je ne souhaite à personne de passer un séjour dans cet établissement.
用意された物は朝食の表記のレベルでは無い。
Più che un hotel, lo definirei un ostello. Il servizio di pulizia in camera è in esistente, ho soggiornato qui per due settimane ma non mi sono mai state cambiate le lenzuola nè lavati i sanitari o il pavimento. Più volte mi sono ritrovata la finestra della camera aperta quando mi trovavo all’esterno, nonostante avessi chiesto di non lasciare le finestre aperte in mia assenza. Una volta fatta presente questa richiesta non mi è più stata ritirata la pattumiera in camera. Pessimo.
lokalizacja
brudno, z właścicielem słaba komunikacja, cena za jedna noc wieksza niz za 3 noce w noclegu niedaleko tego
Only that subway station is near
Small space, the towels are so small like hands towels. You have to take off the shoes before entering the room. The assistant is not a kind person and with no service attention.
Mr. Kim Scam Warning – Avoid This Hotel. If you encounter similar issues, immediately call your EMBASSY. We booked this hotel for a week in 2024 and informed them twice that we would arrive late at dawn. When we arrived, we waited over 20 minutes before anyone came. They claimed our booking was “forfeited” and lied about not receiving our messages, even though we texted and called multiple times. They then pressured us to “rebook” and offered a “discounted” cash rate without issuing an official receipt until checkout. Our room for 3 was too small, and they told one of us to sleep on the floor. Later, they tried to open our door (likely to plant fake damages), and we caught them. We also met another guest with the same “late arrival” story. When the police arrived, the staff changed the story while talking to them in their own language, leaving us helpless because we couldn’t understand or respond. Mr. Kim even scared the newly arrived guests by telling them they could be jailed — we still don’t know exactly what he said to the police. He also threatened to have me jailed if I didn’t delete my video, forcing me to delete it on the spot while shouting at me multiple times. When we showed the fake receipt to the police, Mr. Kim got angry, tried to snatch it from my hands, and in front of the laughing officer, ripped it into pieces so there would be no evidence. The male police officer laughed at us repeatedly, clearly siding with the hotel. Instead of relaxing and enjoying our first time in Korea, this was the stressful welcome we got. Upon checkout, they gave us another fake, folded “receipt” and threw our heavy luggage down the stairs, almost hitting us. Attached picture of the male officer and his colleague female officer. Mr. Kim (in puffer jacket)
위치가 너무 좋아요. 지하철 3,4호선이 5분거리고 근처에 맛집들이 너무 많고 명동도 산책하기 좋아서. 그리고 매니저분이 매우 친절하셔서 편히 지내다 왔네요. 호텔앞이 주변 빌딩에서 나온 사람들이 담배를 피우는 장소라 들고 나는데 매우 거슬렸지만 호텔의 문제는 아니니...
방이 너무 작고 옷을 걸어놀 장소가 너무 없어 옷들을 꺼내지 멋하고 거의 단벌로 보냄. 창문을 열면 에어컨 실외기가 씨끄러워 닫고 자야함. 혼자 잠만 자기엔 아주 가성비 좋은 곳.
Rainbow Hotel Myeongdong operates two separate buildings one with higher-end rooms and the other with budget rooms. The higher-end building is equipped with a standard passenger elevator, while the budget building has only a freight elevator. However, this wasn’t an issue at all, as the stairs were wide and safe, making it easy to move around. I stayed in one of the budget rooms with a friend, and despite being one of the most affordable options in Korea, the hotel was safe, clean, and incredibly well-located. Situated in the heart of downtown Seoul, it offered excellent access to major tourist attractions. Both the subway station and the airport limousine bus stop were just a 1 minute walk away, which made transportation extremely convenient. There was a convenience store next door and plenty of restaurants nearby, adding to the overall comfort. During my stay, I had the chance to meet travelers from all over the world, which made for a culturally enriching experience. As a female traveler, I also truly appreciated the thoughtful service staff members kindly offered to carry heavy luggage to the subway station or airport bus stop free of charge for female guests. Their kindness left a lasting impression. Overall, this hotel offers exceptional value for money, with a great location, cleanliness, safety, and thoughtful service. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling alone or with friends.
It was my first time visiting Korea, so I had a lot of worries, but thanks to Rainbow Hotel, I was able to stay comfortably and safely. The staff were very friendly and communicated well in English, which was a huge help. The room was clean and quiet, allowing me to relax peacefully. The location was also great very convenient for getting to major tourist attractions. I had seen some negative comments about Rainbow Hotel before my trip, but after staying here myself, I can confidently say those comments were completely untrue. In fact, my experience far exceeded my expectations. The price was very reasonable, and everything from the location and transportation access to the staff’s kindness and cleanliness was excellent. Breakfast was included in the room rate and was served from 8 to 9 a.m., making it easy to start the day with a simple meal. During my stay, the hotel was fully booked every day, which shows how popular it is among travelers. I would truly recommend Rainbow Hotel to anyone, especially those visiting Korea for the first time!
Everyone is satisfied.
My stay at Rainbow Hotel Myeongdong was amazing! I came on a family vacation from Texas, and everything about this hotel was just right. The location is perfect (it's right in the middle of Myeongdong) and super close to public transportation, so it was really easy for us to get around and explore Seoul. There are tons of shops and restaurants nearby too, which was super convenient. The hotel itself was clean, cozy, and comfortable. We didn’t have any problems at all during our stay. They also provide a small breakfast (which was simple but totally fine) Mr. Kim was especially kind and helpful (he really went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed). His friendly attitude made us feel so welcome and added something special to the trip. Overall, we had a great experience here. The hotel is in a great spot, it’s affordable, and the staff are really nice. I would totally recommend this place to anyone visiting Korea (especially first-timers). We’d definitely stay here again! And thank you Mr. Kim for making our trip amazing!
We have stayed at the Rainbow Hotel for thirteen days. The location of the hotel is very good, with a large number of shops and places of interest nearby. The hotel itself is very clean, tidy, the trash in the rooms is taken out every day, it is possible to change the towel even several times a day and change the bed linen if it necessary. On each floor there is a kitchen with cutlery, dishes and appliances (for example: a microwave, a rice cooker a kettle) you can use. The owner is very friendly, responsive, always ready to help, regularly enquiring if everything is alright You can also use free Wi-Fi, and the rooms have air conditioning
ホテルのすぐ横にはコンビニがあり明洞駅や明洞の繁華街も近いので非常に便利です。設備面は少々難ありですが滞在する分には支障ありませんでした。ベッドはバリカタでした() 規則は結構厳しめで、土足•飲食禁止だったり鞄をベッドに乗せない等…禁止事項が多めです。設備を汚損させた場合は問答無用で弁償になるみたいです。(クレカ番号を記録され誓約書も書かされます。)
ホテルが駅から近くて、またホテルのオーナーも親切でとても良かったです。また韓国に行く際には泊まりたいと思います。
Questo hotel dovrebbe essere illegale. Camere sporche e minuscole, reception spesso chiusa ( noi 2 ore di attesa per check in e nessuno rispondeva al telefono ), colazione inesistente. Una sola parola: FUGGIRE This hotel should be illegal. Dirty and tiny rooms, reception often closed (we waited 2 hours to check in and no one answered the phone), non-existent breakfast. One word: RUN AWAY
My mom stayed there for about 2 weeks and received extra help from the very friendly and helpful front desk staff.
조아요
This hotel is not even a hotel. It is a hostel. First off there is no lobby. There is no check in. I was sleeping and the owner started banging in my door. What type of respect is that. I felt unsafe and do yourself a favor and find something better. I checked out early I couldn’t stand it. Also there’s no elevator and I had to take it up to floor 4. He also went to my room to show me how things work. It’s a simple room I don’t need help. Overall the pictures are VERY deceiving.
Please communicate how to do the breakfast hot water dispenser etc. other than the bedroom photos to show what the place looks like the other photos misrepresent the conditions of the hotel. The price was what we got I guess. Average
This hotel is in a great location, just a 2 minute walk away from a metro station, and just a 10-15 minute walk from City Hall. The rooms are spacious, with a toilet and shower cubicle in each. The bed was comfortable and the pillows felt fluffy. The views from the 5th floor were great, letting you see life in action. Unfortunately there is no elevator so climbing the stairs may be tricky if you're less mobile. There is a luggage lift though, so you don't need to carry your luggage all the way up and down. I would highly recommend this hotel if you're visiting Seoul
I got the horrible and nightmare vacations because of terrible hotel, there is no elevator and room has no windows, I feel like a jail, I stayed 5th floor and I walked up to 5th floor every day, it was nightmare, also my room has no window so all days dark and I didn’t know outside situation, if sunrise or raining or cloudy, I feel like stay in jail, also there are no shower room, only bathroom, if anyone want to go to trip, you better not go this place
This place is the worse place I've stayed in my 30 yrs of travellling. Obviously, I didn't read the reviews before booking. 4 floors, no lift, rooms are tiny, shower is shower head connected to the sink. No privacy between beds and toilet (glass). The receptionist wanted to charge us extra money even though we'd booked and payed already for our rooms. Asked for our credicards and wanted to hold on to my passport until we gave him more money. When I talked on the phone to the manager asking why we were asked for more money, he changed his mind and gave me back my passport. No breakfast to be found. We found bread in a fridge and eggs but there was no one around to ask. We guessed, we had to toast bread and boil our own eggs. Lots of rules. He told us not to put our suitcase on our beds. We could eat only 1 egg and 1 toast. The heating was to be on only for 15 min max. All very fishy! I do not recommend anyone to go there.
Mr.Kim was expectional. He was so nice when we arrived and when we left. I expected to see the location as it is in the pictures on expedia ( picture is of another building in the area very deceiving) and thats why I got lost. Location is an actual Hostal it has 2 signs1with hotel & another with hostal. In reality it a Hostal, outside looks rundown. Rooms are as in picture. Some rooms dont have windows. Luckily mine did. The locations has alot of rules not listed by expedia. If I would known ahead of time I would not have stayed here. Room was cold you can only use heater for a certain amount of time. Cant bring food to room. Cant use rest area from 10-12. The only convince is the location. Really near metro and myeongdong shoping area. I was so scared to use towels and blankets as there an extra charge if you stain them. All this is understandable it just really extreme never been to a place with so many rules. No shoes only slippers comes with the culture. Room need a stronger lock as I was afraid to sleep thinking someone could come in . Lock was very simple. Electricity to use with foreigner outlet was turned off during certain hours. Wifi was good. Free breakfast is 2 slices of bread , 1 egg, 1 packet of coffee from 8-9am. There is no room service or restaurant. There a bar next door but not affliated with hostal. Was disappointed on this location expedia, not all that is advertised on your website was true. Please update the picture to the hostal building.
Hostel. The common areas were clean the room itself wasn't. Bedding clean toilet clean walls and touchable things not. This room was very overpriced for what it was. Excellent staff & service. Great location.
J’avais réservé un hôtel sur le site. La photo de l’hôtel ne correspondait pas à mon arrivée. Je suis tombé sur une auberge de jeunesse . Et le pire, Expédia n’avait pas transmis ma résa pour 8 nuits. Et aller expliquer en coréen que mon séjour était payé. L’employé ne parle ni anglais, ni aucun langue. Le petit dej qui était compris : fallait ouvrir le frigo entreposé à l’étage et prendre 1 œuf, 1 tranche de pain de mie sans beurre ni confiture et 1 sachet de café, le tout quand l’employé pensait à approvisionner le frigo, il y a des matins c’était sans le café ou sans l’œuf. Pas vu sur les 8 jours une personne vider la poubelle de la chambre. La chambre est minuscule, pas de fenêtre, le matelas est bien. ‘L’hôtel ´est bien situé, près de la sortie 6 du métro, un quartier animé a 10 mn. J’attends un retour d’expéditif sur cet ´hôtel ´ et sur la non réservation de mon séjour
Look elsewhere! This place was horrible. Photos were misleading. The owner had so many rules , ie no shoes in the room, no eating, etc. Place smells and had so many mosquitos. The worst place I've ever stayed so do yourself a favour to skip this place. He cancelled our reservation that we paid for and requested for us to pay extra $150A, but because it was nearly midnight we just had to fork it out! He moved us 3x to different rooms. This place should be removed from any travel sites
Good place to stay near Myrongdong
