아리아호텔 (Hotel Aria Seomyeon)

The room was clean and warm and nice! I would definitely visit again.

Saturday, 80,000 won. The next room isn't soundproofed well, so I can hear steamy sounds too much.

It is located in the heart of the city. There is a bathtub, so it is great to relax with a bath bomb.

It's noisy because the surrounding area is an entertainment district.

Our family of four stayed in two rooms. I'll write about the room I stayed in.

At first glance, it looks like a love hotel. Don't worry, it's still a love hotel. I thought it might have been renovated, but it seems to be operating in a dual-use building. They even provided condoms as amenities.

The hotel is in a back alley, so it's a little hard to find, but using a Ministop as a landmark might be a good idea. We tried to find the address on a map, but couldn't, so we asked a policeman who happened to be passing by and he showed us the way.

A lady at the front desk checked us in, but she only seemed to understand Korean and a few English words...? If breakfast is included, it seems like you can pick it up there. (We didn't receive it, but it seemed like she would.)

The room was very spacious, with one queen-size bed and one single. There was a hole in the queen-size bed sheet, so I had to sleep with one of the four pillows over the hole.

When I turned on the TV, it apparently played a promotional video, but if I changed the channel, I could watch regular local programming. Don't get too excited and just operate the remote control calmly.

By the way, the lights and air conditioner can also be controlled with the remote.
For some reason, there are two desktop computers. It's convenient for looking up local information. Search on Google!
The toilet and bathroom walls are all made of mosaic glass, allowing you to see the occupants' silhouettes. This is typical of love hotels.
The toilet doesn't have a lock, which can make you feel uneasy while using it.
The bathroom is separated into a bathtub and shower room, but the shower room is located at the back of the bathtub, and the sink is there, making it very difficult to use. After showering, the sink gets soaking wet. There are shampoo and conditioner bottles and soap. There are two towels (not really bath mats) per person. There is a hair dryer.
The bathroom doesn't have a door, so be careful; once you fill the bathtub with water, the room will become completely damp.
Other overseas reviews have mentioned that cockroaches and mosquitoes thrive. There is mosquito repellent in the room, and I was bitten twice by a mosquito at the front desk. (Late October)
The windows are double-glazed. The inner window is covered with a black sheet, so you can't see what's going on outside. You can see outside if you open the curtains, but it's in a back alley. There are no curtains.

Partly because of the location, but the back alley is a popular hangout spot for young people and is quite noisy. Even without that, it's still noisy even at around 3am...it's quite lively, so it's definitely not for people looking for a relaxing, quiet rest.

The receptionist was very friendly, but the hotel itself was disappointingly not up to par. It's close to the station and there are plenty of restaurants and entertainment options, so I would recommend it to people who don't mind something like this. However, if you're choosing this hotel just because it's cheap, I would urge you to reconsider.
