格里德旅馆

Hidden in an alley, which my look a bit sketch, but all good--very safe. You'll be able to see the sign from the alley, but they have two entrances. The one I went through, as soon as I opened the door, the guy came rushing out, grabbed my bags and lead me to the front desk.Very close to the subway, which has three different lines, and great location as its easy to get places from this location by subway or walking. May need to exit at an different exit and walk up a bit, if having lots/heavy luggage, like i did. Luckily one side had an escalotor (exit 14) that went up. The closest exit (exit 15) has only stairs. Free laundry use and detergent provided! You were able to turn on the a/c fan if the room got too hot. They even called to ask if i needed cleaning, if I wasn't out by 11:30 a.m. Had a shared microwave in hall. Staff were friendly and let me sort out my luggage in the lobby, as I had to checkout. Cons: Didn't like how the shower screen had a space between the floor, so water would "leak" onto the bathroom floor, but it didn't go all over so it was fine for a short stay. Also, room was smaller than other places I've stayed in S.Korea. Huge bed took much of the space but was comfy. I managed with my huge suitcase but had to figure out how to open it fully in room. Might be tight for two people, especially with big luggage. So, would recommend for a short stay. Would stay again.

My only complaint is that the hotel's lighting is dim. The building is tucked away in an alley but very close to the subway station. Walking there at night might feel a little sketchy, but you just have to remember south Korea is so much safer than north america. Then you'll realize that guy that appears to be following behind you us just going the same way

The staff at the front desk are very courteous and helpful. The free laundry was a bonus and the metro station was so close by and with so many shops and restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.
