Mama Guesthouse Myeongdong

Value for money and excellent location Felt very safe

Cleanliness

lights were not working.. the room was very dark. the lock inside the room was also not working.

The location was very central. An easy walk to Myeongdong. The surrounding neighbourhood in the shadow of the N Seoul Tower was peaceful. That was about it.

1. The "staff" was non-existent. No one was at the front desk when we arrived, no one was around for the entire duration of our stay. Even the numbers provided didn't work on Whatsapp. 2. The most uncomfortable room we've ever stayed in - dirty air con vents, rusted bathroom fittings, a bed that was essentially a sheet over a spring mattress, cobwebs. 3. Unresponsive staff. No one responded to my message for directions sent 24 hours before. (To be fair, messages were left for us at the reception with directions as to where to get our keys and who to contact. Problem was, this was the only way to speak to anyone managing the property! Weird!) 4. We had to scour the entire property to find a universal adapter simply because there was no one there. Truly one of the strangest, most inconvenient stays of our lives.

Nothing

No service, no cleaning even once during 4 nights stay, no maintenance, if you get noisy neighbors you cannot sleep, dirty, run down place and hugely overpriced. Breakfast is a joke. If You want to come to Myeongdeong , just get hotel outside with easy connection by bus or metro.

I had my own room

The hotel wasn’t clean and my room smelled. My room was full of mosquitos (I killed at least 10 before I went to bed); I woke up with bites and an infection in one arm. There was bed bugs, too. The staff was hiding away in a room downstairs and weren’t friendly, just wanted my money and give/take the key to my room. There was noise all night from other guest — I woke up multiples times due to misquotes and from guest dropping, or banging something, as well as talking. This occurred until 3am, then everyone wakes up at 6 am, so there is noise then, too. The walls are paper thin and the area is rough. I wanted to leave and stay somewhere else but nothing was available. My next day was rough because I had no sleep and an infection in my arm form a bite.

The location was alright, 5-10 walk (uphill) from one of the metro station exit. It was easy to check in. The breakfast was very limited, a few old cereals and maybe coffee.

The room was smelly, damp, and dirty. The bathroom was cleaned with bleach, which stained my clothes. There was mold in the shower. The towels were damp and very smelly. Possibly not cleaned. The bed was definitely not cleaned, blood, hairs, dust on and in the sheets. No bedsheet as well. The walls are paper thin, you hear all the other rooms.

Spacious shower and comfy bed.

Did not sleep well as I could hear everyone through the walls. I've experienced much friendlier and caring staff on my travels so far and so was disappointed. Some areas were dirty, previous persons socks were under the bed.
