The hotel room was overall really good and nicely designed. There were some scratches on the wall and furniture but that didn't bother me at all. The cleaning service was good, my room was being cleaned every day and I got fresh towels for my bathroom and free drinks in my fridge every day. The room was on the 15th floor which made the Views really amazing. I sat by the window often to watch the sunset. Also the staff was all respectful, and helped me out when I got sick and needed medicine. I would stay at this hotel again!

The location was good, and it was affordable.

The room had some signs of poor cleaning upon arrival, and the make-up room request was ignored.

The self-service café with vending machines has plenty of seating, so I used it as a workspace since the room doesn’t have a desk

Despite being labeled as a hotel, this is clearly a love motel, and I feel misled by both Booking.com and the reviews. The building has two elevators and stands 19 floors tall. Upon checking in, I noticed the elevator shaking—my first red flag. The room itself confirmed my suspicions: mirrors on the walls and ceiling, a bathtub placed right next to the bed—it’s clearly designed as a "shag pod." The bedding was heavily starched with chemicals, typical of Korean love motels, so those with sensitive skin should beware. Safety was another major concern. I genuinely worried about what would happen in the event of a fire, as I felt trapped in an unsafe environment. The receptionists were far from professional—no uniforms, just casual attire, handing out a cheap plastic key as if they couldn’t care less. The room's telephone was covered in stains and looked outright disgusting. The internet speed was abysmal, and I was more worried about my safety than anything else. To add insult to injury, Booking.com's customer service was equally disappointing. Their only advice was to "leave a review" instead of addressing the issue with the property listing. I’ve now left my review, so I hope they’re satisfied. Dank je!!!!!!!! Overall, this was an awful experience, and I urge others to stay far away from this place.
