Mr.Kim was expectional. He was so nice when we arrived and when we left. I expected to see the location as it is in the pictures on expedia ( picture is of another building in the area very deceiving) and thats why I got lost. Location is an actual Hostal it has 2 signs1with hotel & another with hostal. In reality it a Hostal, outside looks rundown. Rooms are as in picture. Some rooms dont have windows. Luckily mine did. The locations has alot of rules not listed by expedia. If I would known ahead of time I would not have stayed here. Room was cold you can only use heater for a certain amount of time. Cant bring food to room. Cant use rest area from 10-12. The only convince is the location. Really near metro and myeongdong shoping area. I was so scared to use towels and blankets as there an extra charge if you stain them. All this is understandable it just really extreme never been to a place with so many rules. No shoes only slippers comes with the culture. Room need a stronger lock as I was afraid to sleep thinking someone could come in . Lock was very simple. Electricity to use with foreigner outlet was turned off during certain hours. Wifi was good. Free breakfast is 2 slices of bread , 1 egg, 1 packet of coffee from 8-9am. There is no room service or restaurant. There a bar next door but not affliated with hostal. Was disappointed on this location expedia, not all that is advertised on your website was true. Please update the picture to the hostal building.

Hostel. The common areas were clean the room itself wasn't. Bedding clean toilet clean walls and touchable things not. This room was very overpriced for what it was. Excellent staff & service. Great location.

Stay away from this place
We got to this so called hotel before midnight and found out that our paid reservation has been cancelled! We were asked to pay an extra $150AU by the owner or whoever that man was at the reception because of no show which was bull coz were in front of him arguing. The room he provided was small and smelly. To top that he moved us around to another room after a few days which was a few level up(this place has no lift) then on our last night he moved us to another place again The only good thing about this place was its walking distance to Chungmuro station. I hope hotels.com will remove this listing so no one will book at this place. I tried messaging this place to advice that our flight was delayed but no reply, even hotels.com were unable to contact them. Theres heaps of better hotels around Chungmuro and Myeongdong but not this one. This place has lots of rules, you cant enter with your shoes on, cant eat in your room, etc. So do yourself a favour - dont book this place. Photos from website are misleading. Book at your own risk

This is our second time checking in at this hotel within 2 weeks. The manager Mr Kim was very friendly, warm and helpful. The bed and pillow was perfect as it healed my backache and pain. Shops for food are within walking distance from the hotel and have easy access to most amenities. The room is clean. We appreciate what he has done for us and will check in at this hotel if we visited Korea again in the future.

Experience at Rainbow Hotel.
The room was small and reception was fine. Problem is they spoke little English. But the manager make.up by taking us to a night out free of charge. She was friendly and make up for what was lacking. Overall, it is fine. Food stores are nearby.

J’avais réservé un hôtel sur le site. La photo de l’hôtel ne correspondait pas à mon arrivée. Je suis tombé sur une auberge de jeunesse . Et le pire, Expédia n’avait pas transmis ma résa pour 8 nuits. Et aller expliquer en coréen que mon séjour était payé. L’employé ne parle ni anglais, ni aucun langue. Le petit dej qui était compris : fallait ouvrir le frigo entreposé à l’étage et prendre 1 œuf, 1 tranche de pain de mie sans beurre ni confiture et 1 sachet de café, le tout quand l’employé pensait à approvisionner le frigo, il y a des matins c’était sans le café ou sans l’œuf. Pas vu sur les 8 jours une personne vider la poubelle de la chambre. La chambre est minuscule, pas de fenêtre, le matelas est bien. ‘L’hôtel ´est bien situé, près de la sortie 6 du métro, un quartier animé a 10 mn. J’attends un retour d’expéditif sur cet ´hôtel ´ et sur la non réservation de mon séjour

レイトチェックインでした。ホテルの明かりは全て消えており裏口に来てしまったのかと勘違いするほど。扉を開けると直ぐに細い階段があり2階に上がると短パンランニングシャツの方が。予約がないと言われたが部屋が一室空いているので宿泊できた。しかし、とにかく狭く清潔感にも疑問。部屋の外の話し声も響くし、動くたびにパイプベットの軋む音がしました。 部屋の料金は支払っているのに二段ベットの上段は使うなと言われる。5階の部屋だったが荷物用意エレベーターのみ。私はもう利用しません。

チェックインの際デポジットとして、クレジットカード番号を控えるのは良いとして、カード番号の横に手書きでサインを書かされたのには非常に不安を憶えました。

전 진짜 별로 였어요.
신랑이랑 휴가로 서울에 왔습니다. 이런 엉망인 여인숙은 처음입니다. 3평 남짓한 공간에 화장실과 샤워시설이 같이 있는데 너무 작습니다. 그리고 에어컨 아래에는 물때인지 갈색으로 물때처럼 되어 있어요. 공간 많이 협소합니다 두시간정도 있다가 싸움만 하고 나와서 다른 곳에 숙소를 다시 갔네요. 저처럼 여행내내 싸울 수 있으니....

朝ごはんとして冷蔵庫にたまごとオレンジジュースとパンが常備されており、水もフリーで飲めた。安いのにサービスが良いと思った。

掲載されている写真と全く違った。 立地が悪く、外観も良くなかった。 朝食を出すと言われたが、無かったし、トースターも埃だらけ。 3人部屋に泊まったが、1つのスーツケースを広げられるのにやっと。 部屋の中が寒く、床暖房も効かない。 エアコンの暖房も使えない。 シャワーはあるが、場所がない。

보아 하니 형편이 어려워 5성급은 못갈 형편....여긴 호탤로 허가 받은 명백한 호텔입니다. 늦은시간 방 서비스도 해드렸는데 5성급 호텔은 아니지만 ....역시 기본 소양이 많이 부족하신가 의문이 되네요.....

急な渡韓で慌ててとった宿でした。寝に帰るだけで、若い方なら、問題ないと思います。履電気毛布があるので冬でも寝るのは大丈夫でした。部屋自体は寒いので、シャワーの後は辛いです。朝も支度をしたら、すぐに出かけないと、部屋では過ごせません。私は2度はないです。
