Golden Seoul Hotel

The hotel is very conveniently located near the subway station. The rooms are spacious with useful amenities such as locker, kettle, enough plug points, bedroom slippers, bathrobes, mini refrigerator, adequate toiletries, tea and coffee sachets and comfortable beds. We had just a 1 day stay here. The only disappointment was when I asked for refill of coffee sachets, they said it is ''not possible'.

I can imagine staying here again the next time I visit Seoul. This hotel was perfect for me. The mirrors in the room were nice, the TV is equipped for YouTube, and WiFi is available to guests. The rooftop views were amazing.

I was very surprised, I have never been in a hotel where I felt so unwelcome. The staff didn't even say hello not even good morning etc. They always looked away immediately and avoided eye contact, maybe it was because of my skin color or I misinterpreted it and it is the culture of Korea wich i doubt. However, I was shocked and speechless about this behavior. They were very distant and cold, i thought I had arrived in North Korea. I have never felt so uncomfortable. To be fair the women were the most friendliest and polite. The English of most of the staff was very poor even the staff at the 7/11 had better English. I've been to well over 150 hotels so far and have never had to give such a bad review. The room was very old but modernized and clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was ok on average. Anyway, it was the last time in this hotel. I would gladly pay a more money and feel comfortable and welcome in a 4 or 5 star hotel.
