Central Tourist Hotel

We needed somewhere cheap that was close to attractions and from the reviews I wasn't expecting much. Stay was manageable and you can definitely see why it's rated so poorly. All the reviews are genuine. At checkout, the man was very rude and tried to overcharge us and was shouting hurry up down the phone very abruptly from 10.30am. The Hotel is pretty much empty so not sure why they were pushing us out. It is very dated and creepy. No amenities, you have to buy them from the desk. Two old ladies were nice, bedsheets were clean and they do make up the room, but nothing else can be said about this hotel. Towels smell of bleach and room smells of poo at night from drains. I wouldn't recommend, unless you are desperate. Another thing, we found this entire area to be full of very rude people and I would say it is due to the demographic, So bear that in mind. We also got scammed by a taxi so only book on apps. We moved to Gangnam Gu and its much better. Ps we did manage to find thus pretty view from the top of the bridges above hotel

Hotel location is the best. Very near from Seoul station and Namsan tower. We were able to reach the station within 7 minutes (taxi) and within 10 minutes to Namsan tower. The hotel is very close to famous Gwangjang night market and the river stroll during night time was the best.

I love that they provided free bottled water and we just take as we please from the fridge in the lobby. So helpful. The location was great. Not tourist side and was able to see more local life. The cheonggyecheon stream was in front of our hotel and the famous Jongno 24 Hours Ramen Convenience Store was also just 1 minute away. The At the same time 2 subway stations were near by and thankfully the airport bus was also near. It was just odd that no one was around to check us out at 330am. We just left our key on the front desk counter. I hope that wasn’t an issue. I tried calling the front desk number that was displayed on the counter but no answer. I hope they don’t charge me an extra day. Overall we felt safe in the day, early morning, and late night. That’s what matters. The room was ok. There was Hot water, AC, and Wifi.

The facility is old and not clean. They charged parking fee. But closed to Myungdong.

Very disappointing for the price paid. Paid £120 for two small uncomfortable beds in a very dirty room with only hand towels to dry with. There was no shower towel so one of the hand towels had to be used. There was also no shower curtain so the bathroom was flooded by the time you got out. Very convenient location but simply not worth the price paid. Also the hotel is located in a slightly dodgier area of the city and I would not walk there alone at night.

Room doesn’t get cleaned vents are dirty, bedsheets are stained. Bring own towel cause not given any. A/C is barely working. Could use a renovation
