For me
I wanted to repair the place where I stayed for 4 nights. size, cleaning, and service are no problem. The color of the wallpaper and the place seemed very old. The toothbrush was bad, I thought I needed a big towel. the location was beautiful

The sink and washer were both broken they were way to relaxed about security. The code to my room, and many rooms was 1234. When I asked for a new key I didn’t show ID. Just gave them my room number and they printed one out. The worst part was that the pillows and mattress were incredibly uncomfortable. Can’t get past that.

객실 상태는 양호하였지만 객실 사진과 다른 곳
객실 사진과 저렴한 가격을 보고 숙박을 결정하였습니다. 그런데 객실 사진과 실제 객실이 상당히 큰 차이가 있었습니다. 그리고 커튼을 열고 싶은데 옆 주거 건물이 보여 커튼 열기가 곤란하였습니다. 그리고 혹시 몰라 치약과 치솔을 사서 가지고 갔는데 샴푸와 바디워시가 통만 있고 채워지지 않은 상태였습니다. 아무래도 오피스텔을 개조해서 운영하시는 것 같았는데 화장실 헬로우 키티 스티커는 없애는게 좋을 것 같습니다. 그래도 에어컨을 잘 나오고 객실 청소상태는 양호하였습니다.

The hotel name is no longer Chungmuro Residences but Merlin Hotel. This is already a BIG misleading for people to book the hotel. So many amenities were not available as well like washing machine, iron and a shower curtain. Bath towels will actually run out of stock.

WORST HOTEL EVER
I have stayed at more than 100 hotels in my life. This hotel is the worst hotel. Room is terribly small, the bed and pillow were terribly uncomfortable. The light at the bathroom didn’t work. There is nothing at the bathroom except for a soup. It is the first time for me to write review. Just not stay this hotel. 정말 여러 호텔을 다녀봤지만, 이런게 호텔이라는 놀라움을 감출 수 없는 호텔이다. 모든 것이 엉망인 호텔이다, 베게는 너무 불편하고, 이불도 엉망이고, 침대 또한 엉망이였다. 다시는 이용 하지 않을 호텔이다.

Great Stay
I stayed in Chungmuro Residence & Hotel for almost a month. The location is very accessible to all the major tourist spots in Seoul. The subway and bus stop is near the hotel. You can just walk going to Myeongdong and Dongdaemun wherein most of the major shopping malls are located. The room is also bigger than most of the hotels in Seoul.

Cute, great location, great rooms & facilities.
Loved this hotel, it was in a great central location close to a main metro line. The hotel really stands out because of its cute suitcase style & the rooms inside are like mini apartments rather than hotel rooms with a kitchen, table+ chairs, bathroom and beds. We also had a great view of Namsan tower. The hotel staff were always very polite, helpful and nice too.

建物が古く独特のにおいがする。シャワーとトイレの間にカーテンが無いのが困った。 しかし、交通の便が良いところに位置し、スタッフも親切。周辺にコンビニも飲食店もあり、立地がとても良い。水もフロントから好きなだけもらえるので、快適に過ごすことができた。

安い割には普通にいいホテル。ゲストハウスではない。ドライヤーもアメニティもあったのでよかった。受付のおばさまが凄く親切。気温が−6度の日があり、部屋が少し寒かったが、暖房は入らなかった。暖かい格好で眠れば12月は問題ない。ダブルベットに、ロフトもありベットもあったのでゆったりしていていい。流行っているトコジラミの検査も済みのホテルなので安心して泊まれた。

별로예요. 방은 처음에 좋아보였는데 자세히 살펴보니까 식탁에 밥풀 묻은게 안 닦인채로 굳어 있었고, 창문으로 바람이 많이 들어왔어요. 난방을 따뜻하게 해달라고 부탁했는데도 추웠어요. 그리고 많이 수압이 약해서 수압 중요시하시면 더더욱 비추예요

일반적인 숙소
대체적으로 괜찮은거 같습니다. 서울 도심 풍경이 한눈에 보이며 분위기가 좋았습니다. 다만 창이 매우 커서 그런지 바닥은 따뜻한데 침대는 좀 추운 느낌을 받았습니다. 기본적인 생필품은 주지만 면도기나 샤워타올 같은 것은 추가로 구매해야 했습니다.
