Hotel Mfelice

Reception is at level 7, anywhere above level 7, you need to tap hotel card to press elevator button. Check in and check out process is smooth but south korea is strict to their check in time. I was unable to check in earlier. Hotel is 3-5 min walk to Balsan Station. Location is considered convenient, there is a CU store downstairs and some restaurants, paris baguette around. However, it is slightly far from most seoul atttractions, about 45-60 minutes away. I stayed on level 13. Room was dark but not obvious from the picture. I think they were suppose to have a standing lamp at corner of room but no ceiling light or lamp there. The light at the door is also gone. I actually feedback about the light to the reception after 1st night stay but nothing was done over next 2 nights. Hotel Mfelice is not too good at problem solving. Cleanliness was all right, this hotel is aged so you can visibly see spots on carpets, dust on less used area etc. Shower water pressure is easy to adjust, warm water is consistent but the shower floor is very slippery. Elderly and children to take note. And the bottle container provided for body wash, shampoo is difficult to squeeze. Maybe that is the intention, to discourage guests to use too much! Toilet has bidet. They provide towels (south korea uses face towel as bath towels now so they are smaller in size but hotel provides 2 for each guest) but if you need other shower amenities such as toothbrush, toothpaste etc, you need to buy a set from reception. I think it was 3,000won.

Great shower and bidet. Excellent location. Not the easiest entrance to find. Pillows too soft. Bit noisy downstairs. Emergency sign inside door of room 1007 let far too much light in the room. Ask the hotel not to give you a room with emergency sin. Breakfast was good.

This hotel is located near by international airport train stations and surrounded by a lot of restaurants and pubs. Especially, the provided breakfast was very good so I'd like to recommend this free breakfast. The carpet looks a little dirty but others are all good enough to be satisfied.
