New York Hotel

My stay was quite average, and I'd even say a bit disappointing. First off, the room was smaller than I expected, and the facilities were rather old and not well-maintained. The worst part was the terrible soundproofing; I could hear every noise from the hallway and the movements from the next room crystal clear, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. While the location was relatively convenient for transportation, the overall hardware and service for the price offered very poor value for money. I won't be considering staying here again in the future.

The room was decent, typical of a budget hotel – quite clean and tidy. I always stay here when I visit Seoul, mainly because it's good value for money. The transportation is also convenient, being near Yeongdeungpo Station.

The room didn't match the pictures at all. It was dirty and had a strange smell. It was so small, I could barely open one suitcase. There were no toiletries, and even the lights were dim. Being on a lower floor, the window looked right out onto a restaurant chimney. I could smell food cooking even when trying to sleep – I guess they were worried guests would starve! The two room doors were practically touching with no space in between. And at the front desk, the staff was clearly Chinese, but insisted on speaking Korean. Was that to test my Korean listening skills or what?
