Customer made the booking/suggestion and I agreed but I was hesitant as this hotel did not have good reviews and again, they were right. As I had not been here for 12 yrs I went with the customer booking (my problem).
So the furniture was a very strange, ornate, 70's type of Koreanness; almond bath counter and just dated. NO air con as it is fall so they turn it off, but not a huge issue for me. Bed was very hard as I believe most Korean/Japanese hotels. This place was geared for locals or Asians I would say as I saw hardly any westerners.
the lobby was large, with the cafe to one side that serves as a deli/bakery. Bfast was good, not great, but it was serving the same food exactly everyday.
The best thing was that I could walk to Itaewon shop/ eat area within 10 mins, or eat on the side street across the street. A nice little Vietnamese place there.
The only good thing was that the published rate was discounted heavily after my customer pushed a bit, as I did not want to pay est. $250 ? so it came down to about $170.
Itaewon shopping is not worth much regards price but lots of good restaurants.
My Final answer: I will look for another in the south area next time; this was convenient for my work needs but it is not worth staying again if it can be avoided. Itaewon was fun due to weekend street bands/festival and all the pubs and restaurants.
