Rooms are basically clean but they are really old, giving them a slightly dingy look. Paint peeling off the furnishings, mysterious dark spots on the carpets, calcified goo on the soap dish...that sort of thing. But critical things, like bed sheets and towels, are clean. I can't imagine why anybody would want to stay here unless they were going to... More

Service is very good, but not all staff members are fluent in English, so guests must be patient. Be warned that the hotel is very far from the center of Seoul. Although there is a free shuttle service, which is very helpful and always prompt, most areas of interest in central Seoul are still very far from the station where... More

Hotel also provides a shuttle bus every 20 minutes (prime time and less often non-prime time) to/from the Yang-jae subway stop. But it took me 3 days to find out where the return pick-up location was... More

I made last minute hotel reservations - my limited choices were: 2 rooms in a downtown hotel for about $200/night each, or this hotel, about 35 minutes by subway for $100. We choose this one to save a lot of money. There is a free shuttle nearby the Yangjae... More

I had the misfortune of staying that the Seoul MunJwa Koekwan Hotel. I only learned later than this hotel is susidized by the government and does not attempt to be competitive on any level with other private hotels in the city. I stay one night (thankfully). The description for the hotel says city center, but it's far from the city... More
