Residence Hotel Line

The hotel itself is fine. But I haven’t found a single place in korea that’s foreigners friendly. They mention English language in the description on trip.com but the staff doesn’t understand it. I booked the room with a kitchen so I could warm up my food. Utensils were not present in the room. I went to the first floor to collect utensils but the receptionist told me that I can’t eat curry in the room. He said if I eat it, he can’t sell the room for a week. I wasn’t going to cook, just wanted to heat my meal but I wasn’t allowed. It was a disappointment. Other people were ordering pizzas and eating their meals inside their rooms. As a foreigner, I have extremely limited food choices. I said I won’t cook. I just need to reheat my meal but I was refused. Because of winter, I couldn’t take my food to eat outside. I felt most Korean hotels discriminate against foreigners. The room was fine. The curtains were not black out and light was coming inside at 6 am. There was no microwave oven. A washing machine was present with a cloth drying rack. I am also disappointed with trip.com. They publish the hotel advertisements like it’s an international hotel but the staff doesn’t understand minimum English. I paid 60,000 for one night stay on a working day.
