I had a really pleasant stay at Central Tourist Hotel. One of the things I appreciated most was its convenient location. It was easy to get around and close to many places, so I never had to worry about getting lost. The staff were also very kind, friendly, and helpful throughout my stay. The room I was given was very nice and comfortable, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Seoul. Highly recommended!

It’s located in Seoul downtown just near the Cheonggye-cheon. The building is looking old but it’s clean and comfortable bed room. The very kind staff and cheap price. If I need to stay in downtown in Seoul. I can stay here another one night.

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

Don’t recommend here for your sanity.

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.

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.

・日本語がわかるスタッフがいました。 ・部屋の照明は間接照明のため、薄暗い感じです。 ・バスタブがあり良かったですが…清掃はしてもらえませんでした。 ・トイレは使用済みの紙を流せないので気を付けてください。 ・明洞も徒歩圏内です。

施設は古いものの（写真はちょっと綺麗過ぎました、、笑）清掃が行き届いており綺麗でした。 空調の強弱がボタンでできると書いてありましたが、壊れていたのかうまくできず、オンかオフしかできなかったです。 対応してくださったスタッフの方は、日本語で親切に対応してくれました。 また、ロビーに設置しているお水は無料でいただけるのがありがたかったです。

年数回渡韓🇰🇷します。地下鉄１号線鐘路〜東大門エリア内で宿泊しています。今回清渓川沿いの定宿が予約出来ず、旅行の2週間前になりこちらのホテルのトリプル部屋のキャンセル空きが出たので予約いたしました。初めての宿泊です。以前から名前と位置は知っていました。少し古いホテルです。が、掃除は行き届いています。(韓国アルアル古いホテルでは)フロントスタッフは数名のアジョシで回しているようです。24〜８AMの間はフロントが無人になるので、スーツケースは預かることはできるが保証は出来ない(盗難や間違えて持っていかれるリスク)もあると英語で説明されました。フロント横には自由にもらって良いミネラルウォーター用の冷蔵庫がありました。雨の日は(忘れ物の？)傘も自由に借りて良いようです。ソファーが置かれ無駄に広いフロント前ロビーが、かつて団体客を受け入れていたであろうことを彷彿させます。 部屋数も多いホテルです。ただ老朽化で使えない部屋もあるのか、部屋ごとにリノベーションが入っていたり、水漏れの音がするのでのぞいてみたら、メンテナンススタッフが、破裂した水道管と格闘している最中でした。壁は薄いです。通路はさんで向かい側の部屋からお楽しみの最中の喘ぎ声が筒抜けでした。 バスタオルは無く、フェイスタオル人数分✖️２枚の設置でした。

空港に到着後、予定より早くホテルに到着しましたが、スタッフのご配慮でチェックイン時間前にもかかわらず、スムーズにチェックインさせていただきました。 受付にはお水が用意されており、1日1本無料でいただくことができます。また、電子レンジも設置されており、自由に利用できて便利でした。 立地も非常に良く、広蔵市場までは徒歩約10分、東大門のタッカンマリ通りへも歩いて行くことができました。バス停や地下鉄の駅も徒歩5分ほどとアクセスが良く、コンビニも近くにあります。 スタッフの中には日本語で対応してくださる方もおり、安心して滞在できました。 チェックアウト後も観光の予定があったため、11時のチェックアウト後から15時頃まで荷物を預かっていただけて、とても助かりました。 また韓国を訪れる際には、ぜひ利用したいと思います。
