Hotel River

“An underrated 3-stars hotel but offering a cosy stay.”

It is a small hotel but very well maintained - housekeeping is good - typically of Korean standard. Likewise it is also a small problem that most small hotels counter staff do not communicate well in English as they mainly cater to local tourists. Fortunately my Korean friend made all the arrangement, so it saved us time. The room is fairly large for twin beds and what I really like is that the alarm clock comes with USB chargers for iPhone and Androids - especially useful when the wall sockets are incompatible unless using multi-pin adapters. What I dislike about the room is the lay wash basin is separated from the bathroom as we need to be extra careful not to wet the floor. It is also quite strange for the room to have steps, which makes carrying of luggage a bit troublesome - instead of rolling through and that also means it is not handicapped friendly within the room. Otherwise, it is a value-for money stay - about US$50 per night. The location of the hotel is good as it is easy access to local food and shopping entertainment malls - many Karaoke halls across the street.

I stayed here for one night for business as this was close to the office where i was working. It's nothing special thats for sure, but for $80 australian dollars a night you can't really complain. A few negatives; - Pillows small - Bed rock hard - Shower amenities are shared from past people - Breakfast poor, not much choice at all for a westerner. Positives: - Quick checkin - Good wifi - Spacious room I wouldn't choose to stay here again, unless i had to, but its O_K .

This is located in the suburbs about 40 minutes from Seoul by bus. It's a fairly decent place all things considered just down the road from the hospital and the police station.

This is located in the suburbs about 40 minutes from Seoul by bus. It's a fairly decent place all things considered just down the road from the hospital and the police station. Let's start with service: The staff does not speak much English at all. But the check-in staff is pretty cheerful about everything as you try to use a translation book for your basic needs. The maid service is...not so hot. While I wouldn't call this hotel dirty, it didn't feel terribly fresh either. The room was spacious with amusing amenities, such as various fun lighting features, an old PC set up with internet (but not easy to use since it's set up in Korean), air conditioning, cable TV, a hair dryer, various hair and bath products, (although they aren't those little miniature individual sizes. You get a regular sized bottle of hair gel or cologne that many other people have clearly used before), a robe, and slippers. I didn't like the lack of laundry service (there aren't any laundromats in Korea) nor the area really but all in all it's a decent place to stay for about $60 USD per night. Especially when accommodation in Seoul is so much more expensive and often booked up. (Clearly there are not enough hotels in Seoul to support the many visitors).
