Good room. Bathroom sink needs to be replaced though, the handle fell off. Some people were talking in the hallway around 1 am which was inconsiderate. The hotel is not soundproof and they offer earplugs which is nice.
Utslitet hotell trots att det är nytt, trasigt badrum där vattnet omedelbart täcker hela golvet vid dusch, usel städning, fick aldrig rena handdukar, fick inte frukost alla dagar och frukosten var undermålig de dagar vi fick frukost. Undvik.
Positives:
Clean room with older, but clean towels. The location and some staff members were very helpful, while some did not speak English and barely said hello.
Negatives:
My room had a view of the building next to hotel. It did not allow light to enter the room.
The TV remote and other room functions where in Korean without any translation cards to help facilitate function.
TV was unable to be changed into English and stayed in Korean during my stay - bummer:(.
I needed a room service, which did not happen.
I need to mention that one of the clerks at the hotel made my day is it is it for custom and without his help or assistance, I would have left and gone to a different hotel.
Room was clean and design was nice with a large bathroom. However, the walls are so thin you could hear an ant sneeze in the next room. Every single footstep, clatter etc you could hear in the adjacent rooms. The hotel seems in need of some serious maintenance upkeep, the bathroom fan made this horrible grinding sound when it was turned on. Half of the TV screen was darker than the other half. The shower pressure was a drizzle, it rained harder than it outside.
The hotel is also on a busy street filled with bars up a hill. Keep this in mind if you’re not a party person as the noise can be quite loud when you’re trying to sleep, if your neighbours are also being loud.
Good in some ways, worse in others. I probably wouldn’t recommend staying here if it weren’t for how close it is to bus stop and train station.
This hotel is a beautiful, classy gem sitting in an area that’s currently being renovated, with loud construction on all sides, taxis are blocked by excavators and dump trucks, the buildings across and next door are all either being torn down or will be soon. I appreciate the revitalization of this little block of itaewon, it’s just growing pains for now. The front desk staff were so helpful with excellent English. The party crowds nearby can be loud so if that bothers you, don’t stay in a party town. If you love the energy of gay bars and brunch cafes, this is a good starting point.
