The property is conveniently located in the very center of all the tourist attractions which are a short walk or train ride away. But the room was terribly dirty, found a used condom on the floor between the bed and night table, along with a lot of trash underneath the beds
Most uncomfortable bed out of all the beds we slept in the whole country of Korea. Smallest and thinnest mattress. Ancient immovable “stereo”(?) thing next to the bed, preventing even my arm from hanging off the bed. The whole 7th floor smelled of cigarette smoke, covered up with some scent. Small towels. Noisy jack hammer outside all night long. The best thing about this place was the free water in the lobby and the friendly/helpful front desk person. Neighborhood is under construction so I’m hopeful the hotel will clean up and get their act together in order to compete with the up and coming new businesses as this can be a good neighborhood in a year or two. Right next to the river walk and the subway.
Location is bad, I think it is located in the middle of ghetto. There were so much drunken people in front of the hotel.
I did not feel safe, So I did early check out without any refund.
Also the room was not ready when I get there 7:30 pm ish.
The AC and lights did not work properly.
Awful place in beautiful city.
The staff was very kind and happy all the time. Their service was beyond my expectation. Also, the location was easy to find and near the subway easy for travelers to travel around.
Had booked a smoking room through Expedia, no option was available in the entire hotel. Expedia needs to update this on their postings for this room.
Hotel room itself was clean and centrally located for ease to travel around.
It’s a very good location, and rate is very economical. Quiet and easy to around by subway. If I visit to Seoul then I’ll choose this hotel. Staffers are all kind, thanks.
Cons: No Window; No Air conditioner, very hot in the room; The area around the hotel doesn't looks like a comfortable spot for ladies: Too many local stores with men owners are around the hotel; found 2 cockroaches in the bathroom, very disgusting.
Pros: People at the front desk are nice. Helped me to order a take-out; closed to a subway station; I would not recommend the hotel to a lady friend.
This hotel was good and had all the basic features I needed. It’s not a 5 star by any means, but provided good service and friendly staff. The towels and bedsheets were cleaned daily. Room vacuumed coffee cups and utensils washed. From the front and lobby area doesn’t give a good impression but it’s centrally located and price efficient. All the Front Desk Receptionist were friendly and helpful. Some spoke ok English and others I used (google translate) and it was sufficient to communicate.
They were very courteous from the main entrance to the check in counter and to the elevator. The room was so clean including the air. It is located in the heart of the city atttraction
The room was fine. Good beds, good range of TV channels and a god quality bathroom. The hotel is in need of a redecoration in places but it is by no means old fashioned. The rooms all feature strong WiFi and modern HDTV too. The reception also holds luggage before checkin and after check out. For free. The location is great too. The city centre is only about 15 minutes walk. The metro is less than 10.

Disappointed customer
Much improvement needed in terms of quality of room and breakfast as we feel short changed for the rather high rates paid
No hassle upon check-in and the staff allowed us to go to our room even though we arrived around 11am. With young kid and traveled on midnight flight, we really appreciated that! The staffs are friendly and helpful.
We have a triple room, it was clean and comfortable. However, a pillar right at the center of our room has made it a bit hard for us to move around. Essentials items such as electric kettle and hair-dryer, and basic toiletries was provided. There is also a water dispenser (hot and cold) at the end of corridor.
The breakfasts however is not so delectable, basically just cereal and bread with milk, coffee or tea, and same everyday through out the 6 days :(
Overall, we are satisfied and don't mind going back the same hotel if we visit Seoul again in near future (but will only go for the room)!
Had to book windowless room as Central Hotel was almost full and I didn't have any other choices in the vicinity. BIG MISTAKE. As the weather was getting cold, the hotel decided to shut down the a/c. DID NOT INFORM ME. Imagine being in a windowless room without a/c, I almost SUFFOCATED! Hotel staff were very nice though, brought me fan but useless. Managed to move me to a room with windows two days later which was only a slight improvement cos the window was tiny!! So I still needed the fan to circulate the air in the room. Even the taxi driver asked why I'd chosen to stay in such an old hotel! Breakfast was pathetic to say the least... who needs to have breakfast in the hotel when there's so much choices outside. The location was great though - walked up and down the river that was just in front of the hotel where buskers played music on the banks and ducks waded in the water. You can walk along the river all the way to Dongdaemun where you'll pass several markets on the sides where hundreds of little stalls selling local food are found - great atmosphere!
However, still a big thumbs down for the hotel.
The room and the hotel overall were fine. However, the internet connection was so slow as to be completely unusable. If you need a good internet connection when traveling, don't stay here. If there had been any cafes near the hotel that would not have been a problem, but this particular hotel is located in the section of Seoul where they sell air compressor parts, venting ducts and plumbing supplies. Good location if you happen to work in any of those businesses.
Room was slightly small but location is great. It was also impossible to turn off one of the lights due to an electrical issue. I unscrewed the light bulbs.
