Guest Reviews
- Lucas (3/5): -
- lm.Aleks (10/5): -
- Dylan (1/5): 不給刷卡只能付韓元的飯店 - -1. 地點位置算是方便離首爾站很近,而且附近也有地鐵步行大概一分鐘即可抵達
-2. 對面有 711 方便買簡單食物跟泡麵
-3. 員工態度很好
-4. 有浴缸可以每天玩回家之後還能泡個澡 -1. 看完評論才知道這間是只收韓元現金不給你刷卡的一間飯店
-2. 之所以收現金我猜應該是跟匯率有關,實際付韓元跟網路上的價格有差了一點
-3. 需要每天告知打掃房間不然不會幫你打掃
-4. 隔音做的不是很好,路上的人講話跟房間走廊的聲音影響很大
-5. 只會給你一張卡無法協助給到兩張,蠻不方便的
- Rachel (3/5): Good location but not worth the money - Location was good - right next to a train station and good walking distance to things Dirty, dusty, cobwebs everywhere, lack of facilities (only 1 towel in a 2 person room, then when asked for more brought ripped and dirty towels), stairs and fire exits were blocked up with cleaning supplies and linen sheets. We stayed 3 nights and our room was not cleaned once! We had to move rooms because the first one was dirty and the air conditioner didn’t work. Someone was ringing our room door bell at 1:30AM which kept waking us up when we were already getting up at 5AM to go on a day trip. Staff were lovely however didn’t really seem bothered, there was a language barrier but explained everything through a translator app and they said they understood but still did not rectify issues
- Kamila (10/5): Super - Proximité des métro
- Nishant (6/5): - Excellent location and helpful staff Small rooms
- Andreia (9/5): Maravilhosa! Recomendo. - Adorei o hotel! Cama confortável, apesar do barulho do lado de fora, o quarto era silencioso. Só não gostei porque não pude pagar com cartão, somente em dinheiro.
- patrick (3/5): Alt und Renovierungsbedürftig - Die Lage ist sehr gut Es roch nach Schimmel das Bett war durchgelegen und die Badezimmerfliesen waren gebrochen
- Marie (4/5): -
- Çamlıca (6/5): -
- Hu (10/5): -
- Koji (6/5): -
- Guy (9/5): - The location is great with a subway station just around the corner and a 7-Eleven across the street Having to pay in cash
- SUQIAN (6/5): 为了办事凑合住一晚的性价比还可以的酒店 - 出了一号线地铁南营站步行3-5分钟就到了,很方便。酒店对面就是711,附近还有一个小型超市。同样出门走两三分钟就是公交车站,地理位置挺好的。房间里的窗户是三层玻璃,隔音效果好,晚上睡觉很安静。房间里有一个超级大的电视,还配备了一台惠普的笔记本电脑。 刚进去房间就发现厕所洗手池的下水管脱落了,职员帮忙修好后第二天早上又再次掉落。被罩上发现一处小血点,床垫有些塌陷了。
- Angelo (6/5): - La posizione ed il prezzo. Personale gentile. È un motel e si paga solo in contanti, buio e stanze molto piccole
- Matilda (9/5): Great staff, what you except for the money - The staff. The receptionist was beyond nice and helped us way more then he had too. If I knew his name I’d give him a shoutout. He went above and beyond to give us so many good tips. He worked the afternoon shift on the 4th of April. It was a bit run down on some places but we didn’t mind, and the bed was kind of small.
- Emilia (7/5): - Lokalizacja była bardzo dobra, w pokoju było czysto i pachnąco. Duże, wygodne łóżko. Dużym minusem jest brak możliwości zapłaty kartą, trzeba wypłacać gotówkę, jeśli jest się obcokrajowcem. W pokoju jest praktycznie cały czas ciemno, zapewne z powodu ciemnych ścian i małego okna. Dla podróżujących z walizkami w pokoju może być za mało miejsca.
- Nozomi (9/5): よかった - スタッフがとても親切でした 開けれる窓がなかった
- 성호 (1/5): -
- 家維 (1/5): - 地點方便 明明在訂房網站上面標示可以使用信用卡付款,然而到了現場卻只能收現金,有夠不合理。外國旅客一般來說不會帶那麼多現金在身上,櫃檯無法處理,訂房平台也不協助處理,整體體驗極度差勁。
- Christian (7/5): Gut gelegenes Hotel das etwas dubios wirkt. - Super Lage (1 Station von Seoul Station entfernt).
Gemütliche Zimmer. Nettes Personal an der Rezeption! Das ganze Hotel ist sehr shady. Nur Barzahlung möglich. Egal ob man eine Kreditkarte auf Booking hinterlegt hat. Man muss vor Ort Bar bezahlen!
Zudem riecht es oft nach Rauch in den Bädern.
- TAKASHI (1/5): クレジットの使えない高額ラブホテルです。 - 利用しなかったので判らない 事前にクレジットカードが使えないとの連絡はメールで受けていました。
韓国ではクレジットカードが使えないこと事態が違法(脱税の温床になるため)と理解しておりました。
だから何とかなると思っていました。
3日間の現金(約5万円)を持ち合わせていませんでした。
フロントの前にATMがあり現金化する様に指示されましたが断りました。
このホテルはラブホテルの割に高いです。(交渉している間にカップルが4組くらい入室していきました)
結局このホテルをキャンセルし別のクレジットカードの使えるホテルに移動しました。
夜中(0時過ぎ)の移動で非常に疲れました。
せっかくの韓国旅行初日から台無しです。
非常に残念なホテルでした。
- Colours Land Home (8/5): - נקי עם אסלה חכמה . מים חמים . חדר קטן אין מקום למזוודה. אין נוף . די חשוך בחדר.
- Colours Land Home (8/5): - שירותים מעולים , חדר קטן וחשוך ,

- irene (6/5): -
- Morgan (5/5): Bof - Vraiment juste à côté du métro donc très pratique. Beaucoup de restaurants et boutiques à proximité. La chambre n’était pas super propre ce qui est vraiment bizarre parce que les femmes de ménages semblent passer la journée à faire le ménage et ce depuis très tôt le matin jusque très tard le soir. Ds plus ils imposent un paiement en espèces ce qui est franchement pénible. On a été obligés de retirer de l’argent et d’avoir des frais que l’on aurait pas eus avec un paiement avec nos cartes.
- Simon (5/5): - Only cash payments accepted.
No room service.
- Hernandez (10/5): -
- Mawelewele (1/5): -
- bryan (10/5): - Staff are very nice always cleaning my room and near to coffee shops and train
- DzulMatSalleh (7/5): Rainbow stay - Superb location next to Metro and many restaurants within walking distance Better coffee and water facilities and a little dark. Also was a bit inconvenient ot have to pay cash instead of via credit card.
- BASHED HISSAIN (2/5): -
- John (8/5): -
- Arno (3/5): - Die Lage ist ok Keine Akzeptanz hinsichtlich Kreditkarte
In der Looby steht gleich ein Geldautomat welcher sich minimum 6% schlechteren Wechselkurs genehmigt
- Aldina (8/5): - Very convenient. Has everything you need around the hotel. Just around the corner of the subway. The room I got was a bit worn down - mostly tapestry, but clean and comfortable
- Stanislav (7/5): -
- Tony (8/5): -
- Edwin (8/5): Great place, great location. - location is very close to public transportation. I had to visit the front desk everyday during my stay to pay daily. Why not get it over with and pay for the whole stay all at once?
- One (8/5): -
- Gabriel (5/5): -
- Kaizhong (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Ali (8/5): Very good - Didn't accept the credit card and don't let check-in before paying the price
- Zakir (6/5): Ok - Not far from the Central station
Agreed to keep the luggage for one day They didn’t accept the card and let me know about that just a few hours before, however, it is not an easy task to withdraw funds at ATMs from foreign cards
- Giulia (8/5): Very good -
- Ngọc (8/5): Very good -
- Gabi (5/5): Passable -
- Pozdnyakov (7/5): Good - Very convenient location that quite close to metro station. The hotel suddenly asked about the payment by the cash only. This surprised me a lot and brought a few issues. Rather small rooms there.
- Buba (1/5): Bad -
- Paul (8/5): Very good - Rooms could have better lighting.
- Angelika (3/5): Poor -
- Trent (7/5): Good -
- Brown (7/5): Good -
- N (8/5): Very good -
- Haidee (8/5): Very good -
- Newsome (10/5): Exceptional -
- Henrik (9/5): Superb - Close to shopping area
- Steve (5/5): Passable - Contruction ongoing on the site. Some inconvenience.
- Shams (6/5): Pleasant -
- David (5/5): great hotel to stay for 1-2 nights with connection to the airport - very clean and good rooms in general. and very good connection to the trains . nice stuff the aircon is really loud and directly above the bed so its blowing the wind into your face
there is no space to empty the suitcase like no drawers or so for cloths etc just a few hangers
i had to pay cash
- Christoph (8/5): Very good - perfectly located , just 20 meters away from closest metro station, which is only one stop apart rom Seoul station. it is quite and clean. and very discreet.. the room was a bit to small for my taste and I did not like that I could not turn off the lights from my bed.
- Sandra (5/5): Does proximity matter over comfort? Your choice. - What I appreciated was the proximity to the station. It is hard to miss this place since you have to make a hard left (depending which station you come from) to see it - it’s an an alley. There are many shops and restaurants.
Very close to Seoul Station, and walkable to Namsan Tower, and Hangang Park (best if you take the train though). I love the proximity to very popular touristy attractions. I think this was the least of my favorite hotels that I’ve stayed in. I don’t usually like to give bad ratings but I wasn’t really happy with my 3 night stay. When I first arrived, I was asked to pay in cash (I did not have 3 nights of cash in me - since I had already booked my stay through Bookings.com). They did have an ATM but I didn’t have a debit card and I incurred a fee, so I was already not set for success.
The room is okay. What I didn’t really like was the bathroom - it didn’t have shower curtains and so when you showered, it spilled everywhere. It wasn’t the best setup. Not too many amenities like other hotels, very small fridge that you can’t really put food.
I personally don’t ask much from hotel staff, but I was a little disappointed.
- Karma (7/5): Good -
- Ousmane (8/5): Very good -
- Buren (7/5): Good -
- Claria (8/5): Very good -
- Michael (8/5): Good value for money nice staff and few tweaks it could be excellent - Staff are very nice and it close to transport links go get around the city. You can only pay for the room with cash on arrival which you are not told before hand.
Rooms are only cleaned when asked you go through towels quickly as there is no shower curtain.
- Neha (6/5): Pleasant - The location is good. Staff is really helpful The only down side is that the ambience and decor is dark and black. The rooms aren't well lit.
- Kimalova (9/5): Superb -
- Gansukh (9/5): Superb -
- Markus (8/5): A good enough hotel. - Great location, the hotel is just one metro stop away from Seoul Railway Station. A good hotel for those who want to spent their days doing sightseeing and just need the room for refreshing and sleeping. Shower sink plumping broke twice, both times it was "fixed" but it always broke the same way again (sewer piping connection got loose and all the drainage water poured to the floor of the toilet). AC machine hadn't been cleaned in a while (never?) and the remote controller for it was missing so you couldn't operate it. No trash cleaning or bedsheet and towel changing during my entire stay (9 days).
- Dahae (4/5): Disappointing - Good location near station. Smelly, humid, issue with sink drainage
- Delicias (8/5): Very good -
- Myrto (5/5): Passable -
- Yehonatan (10/5): Recommended - The location is great, right next to train station, good rooms, clean and good facilities Rooms too dark and no closet
- Grigore (8/5): Very good -
- Batzorig (6/5): Pleasant -
- Tajul (10/5): Exceptional - Comfort
- Tsenddorj (8/5): Very good -
- Aron (3/5): Poor -
- Nicole (7/5): Good - The staff was great! They were super helpful at every moment The halls smelled like cigarettes (not the rooms themselves, just the halls)
- Filip (5/5): Passable -
- Barefoot (3/5): Good location, not much else. - Good location Didn't clean my room once over 8 days or provide any new towels, water etc. Made me pay cash when arriving and provided an ATM that said it had recently been hacked. Didn't feel safe, rubbish openly left out in the starway.
- Jennifer (7/5): Good - It’s literally next to Namyeong station. Receptionist is supportive even though they don’t speak fluent English. Gave 3 bottles of water in the room. That’s a big surprise. It was not specified on Booking.com that cash only. I did not expect a hotel not taking credit card in the world today and was not prepared. I had to stay for only one night and move to other place for the next few days. It’d be very helpful if this could be stated in front page.
- Aleksei (6/5): Pleasant -
- Christopher (9/5): Superb -
- John (4/5): Not recommended. - Wallpaper was bubbling/peeling in multiple spots. Room had unpleasant smell of cigarettes. Air conditioner was only controllable by power button on the unit, with no temp/flow control, just one setting. Construction outside woke me up. Bath did not have shower curtain/partition, making whole bathroom wet. For ₩230,000 for two nights, I felt like I was robbed.
- Khalid (1/5): My stay was traumatising . Hate it - The hotel isn’t the same what is in the photos . It’s more like a dirty motel . Cigarettes smell and staff has no idea what they are doing . No one speaks English what so ever , I mean zero knowledge. It was so frustrating guys . I felt so lost staring waiting for someone to help me . I accepted to stay the night which was 1:30 am anyway arriving so tired via taxi to this horrible hotel and their staff hoping that everything would be smooth for me to rest and have a good sleep . Unfortunately it wasn’t the case standing them for over an hour for these people to make it easy for me to go to my room .
Room : stinks . The room is small and the mattress was unbelievably horrible even a dog won’t sleep on it .
Over all . My experience was so so bad extremely bad that night in this hotel . One more thing . I saw prostitution as well in and out while I was standing waiting for them to give me my room .
It’s a rip off while you are advertising these type of what you name it hotels but more so like a motel / brothel for people to spend Theo money to be just shocked .
I won’t recommend even my dog to stay there even one second . See above / it was horrible
- James (7/5): Great hotel for the price, make sure you don't pay online. The hotel only acepts cash for the rooms - The price and location were great. A lot of random things in the stairwell. It was weird there was no shower curtain.
- Amber (5/5): Wouldn’t go another time - Location was ok and good departure point to go anywhere Couldn’t pay by card, looking for an ATM who accepted foreign cards was quite rare. Staff was not able to speak English
- Niranjanmurthi (8/5): Very good -
- Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Travis (6/5): Pleasant -
- Denice (7/5): Good - There is a plus minus about this Hotel but nothing will surprise you. The staff was very helpful which a very good plus in Korea. They helped me to order taxi (yes this a very helpful) The room was dark indeed.
- Adam (5/5): Just passable - The location was very good and it was easy to take a train to get to most places or a bus or Uber when required. There are also a couple of nice shops around the area for food and drink, making it fine for solo travelers looking to explore Seoul. The hotel and room were what was expected from the photos, but were very dark and a little dirty. Fine if you don't mind this but definitely at the minimum standard and not recommend if you are looking for a pleasant stay. The price was also quite high consider this but I found many places in Seoul to be expensive so this location was a compromise.
- Kha (5/5): Have cash before check-in. Good location but rooms are dirty. - Staff were friendly and helpful, they dont speak english but with hand gestures and google translate you will manage.
Location is great, nearby metro station and great restaurants. Also enough convenience stores. Booking.com site state; No cash only card payment accepted. However on arrival it was cash only no card. Paid for 1 night in cash and booked other hotel elsewhere due bank issues.
Everything was very dark, no smoking building but you can smell theres been 100% smoking around. Room was dark also not very clean.. Had to slide 6+ windows to open for fresh air… kinda weird. Room was not sound proof, could hear room neighbors enjoying life…
They called later that card payment was available but already to late.
- Ganbayar (8/5): Very good -
