Toyoko-Inn Seoul Gangnam

Very Clean and simple hotel. Small room size suitable for 1 pax for short stay. Simple local breakfast.

Only merit is the location but others are lack luster sigh sigh

For Business: excellent location, next to metro so accessible to all popular districts. Very budget friendly, amenities just the essentials for a short stay. Front staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms enough for a bed and built in shelf- desk and chair. Small refrigerator, limited free water and skimpy size bath towels. Midget size bathroom but full service. Connor Fonda better value for the money. Free breakfast too.

Basic, but clean and very functional hotel. Room was quite small. Exactly what you would expect from Toyoko Inn.

I stayed in 3 hotels on a trip to South Korea, and this one was the worst. The bad services ruined my travel mood and left a bad impression on my travel memories in Korea. 1. The young ladies at the front desk were rude and lacked basic service quality. They could speak English, but discussed the accommodation requirements in Korea, and then directly rejected the guests with "NO" in English. They told me that the room would not be cleaned during the stay, but bath towels and a bottle of water would be provided every day. But they didn't. I asked the front desk, and the beautifully made-up lady said in a contemptuous tone that I had to buy bottled water myself, and the replacement bath towels would be provided when I came back at night. 2. The bed sheets and bath towels in the room are old, and there are dirty traces of unknown liquid on the bed sheets, which are probably indelible. They should buy new ones to replace them. 3. The shampoo, condition, and body soap in the bathroom looked full, but they were in a bottle that was hard to squeeze out. The small refrigerator in the room was old and made a rumbling noise every few minutes, which made it impossible to fall asleep in the middle of the night. The hotel refused to provide earplugs, and I had to look for a place nearby where I could buy earplugs. 4. This hotel is far from major attractions such as Gyeongbokgung Palace, and the main guests I saw when I stayed there were groups of dozens of people brought by tour guides. Therefore, the buffet food was soon insufficient, and there was coughing and noise everywhere. 5. I didn't see a laundry room, but the microwave in the hallway was dirty, there was an ice machine, but they didn't provide disposable paper cups for guests to collect ice cubes and ice water. In short, this hotel tried every means to maximize the money from guests instead of providing guests with quality services to build a real reputation.

Check in after 4pm and check out before 10am… no flexibility at all. I ended up checking in at 2am and even I requested late check out still no arrangement and kept asking me to check out from 9:30am… fun
