M&Lucky Hotel

The rooms were spacious and we had a pretty good view, but there was no privacy in the bathroom. Its wall, between the living room and bathroom, was see-through. The washing service was expensive too: 10,000 won to wash and another 10,000 won to dry. Finding the hotel was very difficult. It's tucked into a maze of narrow alleyways and dead ends, and we were asked for money and got a lot of looks from people who seemed kind of sketchy. The one panel for controlling all the lights wasn't itself a problem, but the light it gave off was so bright that we had to come up with a creative way to cover it.

It was reasonably priced and close to downtown and the subway, but there was no bathtub and the route to the entrance felt sketchy. Maybe it's okay for a guy staying briefly, but I wouldn't recommend it for women or a longer visit. The front desk guys were helpful, though they weren't always there, so you might not get help quickly when you need it. It's okay, but I wouldn't stay again.

The service desk staff were friendly and helpful. When we checked in, the toilet wasn't clean, but we asked them to send cleaners and they did. The hallway carpet really needs replacing, though. It's a budget hotel in a good spot, close to nearly all the major attractions. Cars can't reach the hotel, so you have to use an alleyway. Some parts of it smell bad in the morning and at night because restaurants leave their garbage bins there. The rooms are very small, so I especially wouldn't recommend it for families with kids. If you're looking for a budget stay in a good location, it could work.

Clean rooms, good amenities, and ice and filtered water at reception. The location was great too. I thought the place was fabulous and would definitely stay again.
