Bad First Day, but overall OK

We had a lovely stay, however, we've been sent to a different hotel on the first night due to booking the hotel via hotels.com. The receptionist insisted that we are not booked in their system, and therefore, was sent over to a much uglier and uncomfortable hotel nearby. This disrupted our first sightseeing day as we had to pack our luggage again to transfer back to Hotel Icon. They also provided the same breakfast every single morning (toasted bread, jam, coffee, cereals, muffin, orange juice)

+ sehr gute Ausgangslage für alle Aktivitäten ( U-Bahnhof Jongno 3(sam)-ga ) in Reichweite. + Convenience Stores in Reichweite + sehr günstiger Preis ( ca. 30€ DZ/Nacht ) + viel Streetfood, Unterhaltung und Restaurants in Reichweite. ( das Viertel ist nicht unbedingt etwas für Familien ) - die Bilder im Internet ( z.B. Dachterasse, Zustand der Zimmer ) sind von einem Profi Fotografen mit Nachbearbeitung ) erstellt worden. ( 2019 - Wartungsstau ? ) - 24h Rezeption = eine aufgestellte Webcam mit der man sich unterhalten kann . evt. meldet sich auch jemand. - nicht einfach zu finden. Mit Free Wifi und guter Vorplanung aber zu finden . Frühstück ist nicht zu bewerten. Bei dem Preis geht einfach nichts mehr. Wenig Sitzplätze , Tetra Pack mit Saft & Milch. Kaffee ähnliches Getränk. Toast mit Marmelade - Fertig Jongno-gu = die ursprüngliche „Altstadt“

Quelques petits points à régler comme les toilettes qui bougent énormément lorsque vous vous asseyez. La moisissure dans la salle de bain et le drap beaucoup trop petit pour le lit qui est en fait... 2 lits assemblés avec le montant au milieu.

Das Frühstück ist recht spartanisch (Toast, Butter, Marmelade, Muffin, gekochtes) und jeden Tag identisch. Es gab im Bad keine Duschkabine, der Duschkopf war am Handwaschbecken angebracht. D.h. bei Duschen setzt man das ganze Bad unter Wasser. Das ist ungewohnt, man muss sich dran gewöhnen und verschiedene Dinge zeitlich organisieren.

Excellent subway station nearby, just use exit 6 of Jong ro3 station since the hotel is tucked in an alley and there are swarms of alleys in the area or the first time will be so hard to find even locals have a hard time helping with directions here while map apps will have you walking in circles. On the other hand, these awesome alleys are filled with crowded, authentic, charming eateries where natives are socializing until late so it is great to get away from the commercialized tourist zones and see a bit of what the locals do here at night.

コスパ良いホテル

地下鉄安国駅から最寄りです。メイン通りから少し中に入りますが、明洞駅からタクシーでも50000W(500円程)ですし、アクセス良いです！ ホテルはバスタブなしのシャワーのみで、お手洗いも一緒のためゆっくりシャワーしたい方向きではありませんが、コスパから見ても良いと思います。 朝食はパン3種類、自分で作るゆで卵、オレンジジュース、牛乳、フルーツでした。 この安さで朝食付きはすごくいいです。 フロントの方が帰りにタクシーを呼んでくれましたし、とても丁寧でした！

Two of us stayed in a room with 1 double bed and 1 single bed for 4 nights at end of October 2018. I would highly recommend this hotel for the elevator facility and the locality within 10 minutes walk to food and subway station at budget hotel price. The one thing it can improve on is the hot water shower. It is not consistent and you get surprises as it can become too hot or too cold intermittently.
