Araeppŏm-sil Vacations from NT$9,320

The heated toilet seat was what stood out to me. Also the bedding was so soft and cozy. It was on a quiet part of town as well as a 7/11 convenience store and coffee shop. And a small restaurant. Nearby. Amazing service there at the hotel. Beautiful rooms. Clean. Great service. It’s definitely not tourist friendly due to the Fact it’s in a more industrial area. This was my first time visiting South Korea so I didn’t know where the tourists area really was.

This hotel is in the heart of Myeoungdong, close to everything but pretty dated. Nice view of Namsan tower but the window needed a cleaning and the room smelled weird. Everything was outdated and needed a fresh renovation. Big plus was the brunch downstairs. Food was really good with many options and the price was exceptionally good. The entrance to the hotel was a mess with picketers when we stayed there a big eye sore. I probably wouldn’t stay there again since there are so many options nearby at this price point.

This hotel was in the center of the all the shopping, street food vendors and subways, all within a few minutes to subway, and the shopping and street food vendors, restaurants were right outside the hotel entrance, so convenient! However, it was noisy and a constant flow of people crowding the streets from late morning to night. It's easy to get confused or lost as all the streets look the same with the shops and restaurants lined along the way. You would need a map or gps to navigate around. If you like the busyness of eating and shopping this is the place to stay. The hotel itself is hard to navigate to by car, taxis and ride shares cannot pick or drop you off because all these shopping streets are only for pedestrians. You will need to walk to the subway station or to a street that is open to traffic to get picked up or dropped off, so if you have a lot of luggage it's difficult to navigate through the sea of people. The hotel is a 3 star based on amenities but it looked more like a hostel. Rooms small but very functional and comfortable. Lobby area, not much too it other than a small office for the hotel attendant who were very helpful and polite. The most part it was clean but the carpet in the hallway and room were slightly stained. Our bathroom had hair all over the tile. We wanted to change rooms but there were none available. So based on what I experienced, I would give this hotel a 2.5 star rating. I would not want to stay here again.

Everything was clean and very friendly staff

Breakfast wasn't good
