Clean simple room

This is a hotel shared with other hotels, so the next door could be a room for a different hotel. Anyway, it's located in a lively block in Nampodong that has those outdoor vendors with food (pojang macha). About two minutes walk to bypung (kangtong) market, and two minutes walk to jagalchi station, so it's in a super convenient location. The lobby is located on the third floor and the front staffs are very friendly. The room is very clean as well with a water purifier in the room. You can also leave your luggage in the lobby. The only thing is that the hotel building is not located in a major street, and there are pojangmachas near the building as well as some really old looking buildings, so the surrounding is not "fancy".

Security cameras are supposed to be there to protect people from physical harm, which of course rarely works. They are not supposed to be used against hotel guests with innocent questions about the country they are visiting. I had just bought a video of Korean semi-nude dancers and asked someone at the reception whether this was legal or common in Korea, since this was a dvd and its cover. Little did i know that the security camera had an image of me and supposedly nude women. Thr charge was that i somehow sexually harassed the women, and the charge was made by the general manager of the hotel, Ms Sun no less. Now someone tell me whether this is a hotel that should ever be entered again by someone like me (male, any male). If there were a way to give a -1 to -5 stars for abysmally bad service I would definitely go into the negatives. They even had the temerity to cancel my 17 day reservation from March 14-April 1 without hearing my side of the story. Why? Because they weren’t interested in it. They just wanted me out and were looking for an excuse. Well, they found a not very good, one that can land them in very hot water and have them shut down as a danger to their customers. You see, sexual harassment is a serious criminal charge in S Korea that could carry a jail sentence. So is falsely accusing one of the same. It’s a pity. Breakfast was fairly terrible but the lobby definitely looks nice. Looks are deceiving!!!

便利な立地ですぐ近くにコンビニもあります。ホテル自体はすごく綺麗です。ただたまたま見かけた掃除の方の道具があまりに汚くてゾッとしました。 また全然いいのですが、期待が大き過ぎてホテルスタッフの方々の対応に笑顔がなく淡々とされていたのが期待外れでした。 日本だと笑顔での対応が当たり前過ぎて違和感を感じただけです。 的確に対応していただいたので問題はありません。

写真見てとてもキレイだけどこの値段だからと期待してなかったのですが、写真のままでとても良かったです。 フロントのスタッフの方もとても対応良く、日本人や日本語が話せるスタッフがいるのでとても安心でした。 フロントは3F、他のホテルもフロア違いでありました。ホテルというよりコンドミニアムっぽい作り。 1F入口には警備室あり。 出たらすぐにコンビニや、屋台がたくさんあります。その先には国際市場、反対側にはチャガルチ市場、歩いて約10分には地下からも地上からもロッテ百貨店に行けます。 駅出口からは約3分ほどでした。 アメニティはシャンプー、コンディショナー、ボディソープ、タオル、バスタオル、ドライヤー。 バスローブや歯ブラシ、スリッパはなし。 シャワーとトイレはガラス扉があるのでよかったです。 部屋にウォーターサーバーがありました。 部屋のコンセントは韓国のが枕元に2、USB2です。私が泊まった部屋は釜山の港が見えるビューで夜景がステキでした。 オススメします！
