Gwanak Arboretum Tours and Activities

The best thing about this hotel is the location. If you want to be near public transportation and shopping as well as tons of restaurants, this is an excellent choice especially for the price. However, there are some quirks about this hotel. Initially the staff was very kind and helpful. On our last day, we had one rude staff as we waited for our airport transportation. We had two triple rooms. One room had a VERY loud air conditioner and lights as well as outlets that didn’t work properly. The rooms were clean, but the beds are extremely hard (mattresses on plywood basically). The free breakfast is also a bit different but not a big deal since there are plenty of other options nearby. For the price paid, we were satisfied and would have rated it higher if the one room didn’t have so many things not working properly and if we didn’t have the rude staff encounter as we prepared to leave.

Its a small space but that was expected. Its exactly as described. Typical all in one combined shower toilet. Very limited space for opening luggage. I had 2 twin beds but placed one luggage on one bed to be able to function and pack. Location is the best part. Ideally in Myeongdong and right near the station and bus stops. Shopping was easier when I could easily drop off bags then go back to shopping. I booked this place as my departure hotel when I did my shopping haul and it worked out well. Except for the maneuvering luggage to pack in the small room. I cant imagine sharing the space with anyone. It was just me and I barely fit comfortably with two check-in bags and a carry-on. Provided breakfast was decent, especially its free. Best seaweed soup I've ever had, I went back for seconds!

Convenience above all. This hotel is really convenient in terms of location. Literally a 1-minute walk from the subway station and several more from everything else.
