LENITH HOTEL

Pros: (1.) Location: Walking distance from Seomyeon Subway Station, of which is an interchange station to another subway line. In addition, Seomyeon Subway Station is also linked to Lotte department store and Seomyeon underground shopping street. (2.) Food: You can try different type of food in this area, including local meal, western cuisine, mid night hawker stall, bar, korean barbeque etc. The restaurants in this area mostly operate until mid night. You should try the abalone seafood soup, which is priced reasonably, at a nearby restaurant that named as "济州家". (3.)

Others: It has a huge TV with great resolution. In addition, it comes with an excellent quality home theater speakers. Cons: (1.)

I had to go for a business trip and had a meeting at lotte hotel. So went through agoda as location and price was perfect. Yet arriving early the man at a tiny lobby tried to explain that I couldn't check in, so I walked around the neighborhood. The location is really great and convenient, many restaurants open till late, local market close by and Sunday they close the street at night with food vendors. After an hour walk I went back even though it was still 3 hours prior to check in, the man kindly gave me the room. The room is designed in a very kinky way. I realized a lot of young couples going in and out and always so surprised to see a foreigner. So I asked to the Man what kind of hotel it was.....?:P so yes young Korean couples come and do whatever they do. So definitely not really family friendly in that sence but it's a cultural difference. I was happy because it was clean not noisy good showers and mattress. Let's not forget the tv, I took my ps4 with me and had a 55 inch screen in the room. Only down point is that there are no proper blankets, just a thin bed sheet. Got a picture of the tv and restaurant at the corner of the hotel.

I don't recommend for any traveler. it is a cheap student motel, bad room layout, busy small lift with many student going up and down. the hotel is in a narrow street and hard for taxi drivers to know the location unless you can guide taxi driver. Wooden sofa and metal chair. in my second night I decided to sleep in my Korean friend house, then I checked out early and moved to another conventient hotel not sex motel.
