    “Cheap, beautiful, and close to the station! But the toilet is disappointing.”

    I stayed overnight to participate in a live event. There was a staff member who could speak Japanese, which made the check-in process smooth. It took about 5 minutes to get from the station, and there are convenience stores and restaurants very close by. The room was also clean, and even though I stayed for 2 nights, they came in to clean on the second day, which was helpful. The shower has a proper door, so the bathroom didn't get all wet, and I think it's fantastic considering the price. However, the toilet is the type where you can't flush toilet paper, which was a bit disappointing.

    “Good cost performance.”

    My daughter and I stayed for two nights in a 17F Standard Twin room. The two beds were comfortable and it was good overall. The room isn't very spacious, but it can accommodate two opened suitcases, which is nice! It is also very clean. The toilet cannot flush paper, which is common in Korea. The refrigerator was well-cooled, and it was great that each person gets one bottle of water per day. There is a simple box with hangers for clothes, which was convenient. There is no bathtub, only a shower, but water splashes from below the glass door, wetting the floor of the adjacent washroom, so it's better to be mindful of the shower direction. There are no bath mats provided after showering. Is this a cultural difference? When I asked at the front desk, they said they didn't have any. The towels were thick and rough, so I used one as a mat. I had a chance to talk to other Japanese guests, and they mentioned that they also used a towel on the floor since there were no bath mats… I think it's advisable for guests to bring a face towel and use the hotel towels as bath mats. The view from the room overlooks the city, and you can see the nightscape. The nearest station, Janghanpyeong Station, can be accessed by elevator, making it convenient even with a suitcase; it takes less than five minutes to reach the hotel. I had my meals outside, both breakfast and dinner, so I can't comment on the food. The total for two people was about ¥23,000, which is quite good in terms of cost-performance ratio, and considering the price, I was very satisfied. Since we only needed the hotel for showers and sleep from 10:00 AM to around midnight, we had no complaints. It would have been nice to have a chair and table in the room, but since there was nothing, it was a bit inconvenient for having coffee or light snacks. The service at the front desk was average, just conveying the necessary information in a straightforward manner. If you were expecting the polite service typical in Japan, you might feel a bit disappointed, but this is what you get for a 3-star place abroad.

    “No repeat.”

    It was convenient because there was a convenience store very close by. However, the station felt a bit far. The front staff were kind, the hotel atmosphere was nice, and the room was very clean. The restroom was clean, and the bathroom was luxurious. The hotel itself was very lovely, but I don't recommend it for those who prioritize the distance to the station.

    “Excellent”

    It takes about 5 minutes to walk from the subway station. There are convenience stores and fast food nearby. There is also a Daiso near the subway station. The room was clean, with no unpleasant odors or bugs. The shower room has a door, so you can enter with peace of mind. After a certain time, hot water stops, but I was able to use it without any issues. Toilet paper is disposed of in the trash can. I didn’t use it, but you can watch Netflix on the TV (I think only for those who have a subscription). Shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and hand soap are provided, but you need to bring other amenities. It was quiet at night, and I was able to sleep. There was staff who spoke Japanese at the front desk. A deposit is required, but I was able to borrow a converter plug. There is a Wowpass machine in the lobby, which is convenient. You can reach Gimpo Airport with just one line on subway line 5.

  5. 10.0Exceptional

    FUJINA from Japan

    “It was a good hotel.”

    The location is away from Myeongdong, but it's close to the station, and there are plenty of restaurants, Olyang, Daiso, convenience stores, and Lotteria nearby. The firmness of the bed mattress was just right. The shower room was equipped with body soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Every day, two bottles of water were provided for free in the refrigerator. The toilet is of the type that cannot flush paper. It was written that we should dispose of it in the trash bin. There was one outlet each for Korean-style plugs and Japanese-style plugs. I was able to use the services with peace of mind thanks to the staff who could speak Japanese. Overall, I think it's a very good hotel. I hope the toilet situation in Korea improves soon.
