Goodstay Arirang Hotel

This hotel is 'just OK' and you could find a better one. I had reserved a room for several days but checked out early. The hotel is grubby and things don't work (like the computers in every room). Although all beds in Korean hotels are hard, this one was as hard as a plank of wood. No one at reception speaks English and although one of us spoke basic Korean, it wasn't enough to get assistance.

Stayed for two nights at Arirang Hotel. Courteous front desk staff spoke English. Were very helpful in calling taxi's (which are very cheap...just under 3-5 bucks for most places around town), and just now at check out, the owner drove us to the limousine bus (going back to Incheon Airport costs around $32 each). We offered him money for driving us and he wouldn't take it! The breakfast each morning had a good variety of items, including boiled eggs, fresh fruit and salad items plus juices, coffee, milk, bread, toaster, pastries and a coffee maker with pot full all ready. Breakfast was included ...at $80/night this is excellent value! Only negative is a Korea-wide phenomenon:at times the drains in bathrooms are smelly, but this isn't all the time...a damp towel over the drain in the floor helps and it really didn't bother us. (Apparently the curve in westernised drains prevents this odour problem.) Anyway, overall Arirang Hotel was clean & had a good elevator with a spacious room and bathroom. Parking is available. The room had a fridge with water and soft drinks, excellent air-conditioner, kettle, hair-dryer, computer & TV, also wardrobe, table & chairs plus desk. We would stay again for the excellent service & value.

very convenient for the express bus station going intercity within Korea. About 10 minutes walk through a seedy and grubby area to the hotel. Room just about ok but bathroom a bit smelly. Staff very helpful and every convenience in the room even hairspray and toothpaste! Breakfast was free and a surprise with fresh fruit, yoghurt and decent orange juice.
