Glue Hotel

It was in a convenient location, room was clean

Room was a touch small, but then a lot are in Korea

Sauber, bequeme Betten, Rezeption immer freundlich und hilfsbereit, Sehr gute Lage

The location was not in a busy area, and 15mins walk from the subway, but otherwise a good, quiet area and close to some of the things I wanted to see - e.g. the palaces and to the airport bus (10mins walk). The room was on the small side but very comfortable, with a good shower and tea making facilities. The bed was very comfy and the hotel was quiet.

The breakfast was a bit limited in terms of options - it would have been nice not to have a full Korean meal (chicken teriyaki) but more choice of a smaller continental style breakfast.

The location was good: about a 10-minute walk to two different subway stations, also possible to walk to several tourist attractions and malls.

The hotel page on booking.com made me believe that all the rooms other than standard ones have a beautiful view onto the old town. This is NOT the case. At the check-in, it turned out that only the deluxe rooms have it, not the superior ones, one of which I had booked. Indeed, our room had a view over a big and SUPER NOISY construction site where works like drilling and thumping and what not started very early in the morning. Obviously, that is not how I wanted to wake up during my vacation in Seoul. When we tried to explain the problem to the lady at the check-in and possibly make an upgrade, she seemingly forgot all the English, even though she had spoken it quite well just before. Finally, she told us that an upgrade was not possible as there were no more rooms left and would not become available during our stay dates. Terrible. Other than that, the shower in the bathroom has isolation problems: when you take a shower, the water spills over and the whole bathroom floor, which is supposed to stay dry, turns into a pond.
