The rest of this trip to Seoul was smooth and the experience was good, but I was very dissatisfied with this hotel. The price is really too expensive compared to the experience.
First of all, the hotel is self-service check-in, which is completely different from the Chinese-speaking front desk mentioned in the comments.
It was twelve o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived in Myeongdong. I thought I would store my luggage before the check-in time so that I could go shopping. As a result, I waited at the front desk but no one came. No one came even when I rang the bell. I only left a phone number. As a foreigner, I couldn't contact them without a local mobile phone number. So I had to carry my luggage and set off again to go shopping for an afternoon. I was exhausted.
When I came back in the evening, there was still no one at the front desk. I only left a few door cards for today's check-in on the table for self-collection.
So the families who decided to stay here must pay attention to it. It is self-service check-in, self-service check-in, and self-service check-in.
Secondly, the room is too shabby. The facilities in the room are very old. The twin room has no windows, only a small vent, and the vent is close to the corridor. People outside can hear it clearly. For quiet and safety, it can only be closed throughout the whole process. There is almost no sound insulation in the room, and any sound can be heard from anywhere around!
The bed is very hard. I really regret that I booked a twin bed for comfort. The pillow is also uncomfortable. My neck is about to get a stiff neck after sleeping in the air all night. I was very tired when I woke up in the morning.
There is no charging port at the head of the bed. There is only one charging socket on the table in the whole room, which is not convenient for charging. It would be more inconvenient if two people live there.
The survival of this hotel really depends on the location. Myeongdong Shinsegae is just down the hill. If you come to Seoul to get up early to buy LV in Shinsegae, it is very convenient. It takes only five minutes to walk.
Also, the hotel is on a big slope. Every time I go shopping in Myeongdong, I have to walk a big slope when I come back, which is very tiring.
The overall feeling is very disappointing. I will definitely not stay there next time!
