Awful all round

1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 17 Jan 2012
I don't know where to start with this place. Terrible location, (unless you want to buy a motorbike) down dingy side streets and a long walk to the subway or even a coffee shop. Forget about local taxis - we were quoted $33 to go 2 miles. Bathroom was dirty, bed was tiny, corridors were noisy and the whole place was depressing. Dining options are from the small 7/11 shop. Staff are helpful though. We checked out after a few hours and found a much better option nearer the airport - and much cheaper. Avoid unless you enjoy eating biscuits in your room for lunch and dinner.

This is not a hotel for the fastidious. It is getting old. But I also stay at top line Hilton's, Hyatt"s etc so for me when it comes to family and cost the perfet fits into place. If you can take some warts this is excellent family value for money. Just having a good size room for the family is a start. Good service is a quality follow up. The 7-11 down stairs puts the icing on the cake.

better to book yr hotel elsewhere. this place is a 15 min walk to subway , u have to endure the cold in winter. and the night fall at 6pm so its not very safe to walk alone.

hotel bathroom is mouldy and they dont clean the room at all for 9 nights we were there. lots of dust on the floor. I would nt stay here again.
front desk - only one staff was helpful. and dun bother asking the lady, its waste of time. the washing machines sometimes doesnt work and the stove areas have not been cleaned for a while.

The price that we paid for the room is worth it because the room is indeed spacious. It has a sofa, kitchen & washer and the bathroom is also big. A drawback however, is the location. It is not located along the main street. It is okay to walk during the day to the subway and it is pretty fun because you walk through Chungbu Market on your way to the subway. But it is dark at night with few street lamps and the shops (mainly hardware & furniture shops) are closed. One way to overcome is to take the cab. The charge when you hop on board is 2,400W (about S$2.80) and we mostly paid about 2,800W per trip from Dongdaemun. Don't try to take cab around midnight because the cab drivers will not fetch you. They will tell you to walk instead.

Co-op Residences is the closest to Dongdaemun, and next is Western Co-op Residences.

The staff speak reasonable english and are able to help with offering directions.

Tip: buy titbits from the market. It is much much cheaper.

Room tip: I requested for a room near to the lift lobby and they managed to arrange for one, which is good.

My family has stayed here a number of times. It is not meant to be perfect at the price but it is really good. A little bit hard to find and a little hard to get to, but that can all be managed. The space, the ability to cook meals and the ability to wash clothes in your room make this a great space for a week long stay with two kids. Clean enough and serviced enough. Don't look for room service, but the 7-11 downstairs really does cater for the basic needs.
I would recommend this to any family headed for Seoul!
The park across the street is great for those active kids that we all know and love.

Room tip: Space in the triple room is enough for 4 if your children are young. We have even fit 4 into the double room.
