Dongdaemun Hotel

When arriving there was nobody at the reception for more than 2 hours. I had to wait freezing and wondering about people coming from outside to get water from the tap. When the receptionist arrived and I showed her my reservation she first ignored me, then rudely claimed I had no reservation and should leave the place. I was forced to find a new place, which was really difficult since it was weekend. What I saw there was just a mess, garbage, old rotten “food“,'stench... Horror scenario. The pictures on booking.com are all fake. The place is hidden in a small side street full of garbage, rats etc. Avoid this place at all costs! Not even for free!!! I don wanna give any points but it is not possible unfortunately, if,.I would give it minus 2000!

Good location and nice price. Room was a little old fashioned but was clean. The staff spoke Japanese as well as Korean, but don't recall any English speaking. Just try to avoid the room with the huge flashing sign right outside the window!

I had so many bug problems. Poor design for the bathroom and the fact that the rooms did not have shower curtains. This has been the worst hotel I've ever been to. Although the pricing was very cheap and that may be what some people look for it is definitely not worth it, if I were to bring my family along I would rather pay that extra money to live at a better hotel. It was disgusting bugs were everywhere and it seemed as if they just put in a new set of blankets and did a crappy cleaning.
