The only good thing I can say about the accommodation is the location, but as you can see in the photos, the walls were quite damp, there was mildew in the showers, and torn towels. My husband even got a plantar wart after using these showers. Horrible and disgusting.

Bathroom has mould issues, old standard "used toilet paper into bucket" system. At least good location. Ok for a night or two.

Been using this hotel many years. Great location but linen / towels & housekeeping quality is the lowest I’ve seen in no-star hotels. One pillow is sweat stain seen in college dorms and the ONE bath towel is stained with blood drops and other bodily fluid. Women’s hair on shower wall and toilet rim. This needs to be fixed as I really like the location and basic hotel.

So it has a kitchenette but no kitchenware. The bathroom gets flooded after a shower which is typical in a Korean home shower but i wouldn't expect it in a hotel. Great location though for drinks and restaurants. Fairly c...
